Dead or Alive Extreme Volleyball was one of my favorite games on the Xbox. It wasn't a deep game at all, but it was, first and foremost, a great way to kill some time when coming home from work. Getting a sequel on the 360 was great news for me so I preordered the game as soon as possible. But now after a few hours of playing the game I'm quite disappointed. Between the graphics far from being as impressive as I'd expect from Team Ninja (and at 30 fps!), the fact that the game has now become a bit too complex to just play and enjoy it for a few minutes of fun and an overall lack of polish, I can't help but think that DOAX2 was just a quick cash-in Team Ninja rushed out of the door to be in time for Christmas. I can't say it's an awfully bad game, but it's basically just the sum of average to OK small games, linked with numerous and very annoying loading screens.

I liked the first one, i played it for days. The only thing that i disliked about it was the fact that theres no goal in the game........you cant win anything...you can only buy swimsuits.
I just hope they change that in 2.

Another interview with Itagaki. Mostly about the mini-games in DOAX2 and a small hint about Ninja Gaiden 2 at the very end.

It's just: they are a bit to much "graphics" orientated... i really luved DOA4 and Ninja Gaiden but DOAX and DOAX 2 is just for the "I ain't gettin' none" people :)

I agree with FireWire. I am not the target demographic for this title, but there myst be a better way to spend graphical power and there is definately better ways to spend the time...
That said, it is showing excellent self shadowing.

Don't know if this has been posted yet, but in the new OXM Itagaki confirms that Jet Skiing will be the main game this time, though you can still play volleyball it just won't be the central game. With jet skiing being the main game I really hope they get the water and wave physics looking good.
