Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball – Consumer Guide

According to ESRB, this game contains: Mature Sexual Themes, Gambling, Nudity

Parents should be aware of the game's extremely high cheesecake factor. Some of the swimsuits available are little more than thread and beads held together by some magical force, so if jiggling girls in bikinis are not something your kids are ready for, stay away. Besides a multitude of suggestive poses, there is no actual sexual activity. There is also no questionable language.

Volleyball fans will probably want to avoid the game. The lack of official rules, stats or play modes seriously undercuts any competitive elements, and there's really not a lot to it. Interestingly, nowhere in the game's lengthy intro is even one scene of volleyball, giving further credence to the idea that it was never the game's focus.

Fans of beautiful semi-nude women (and who isn't?) will be in heaven. All eight of the characters are impossibly flawless examples of the female form. And, with the option to dress, accessorize and examine them to your heart's content, this game is a voyeur's paradise.

Deaf and Hard of Hearing gamers will have no problems at all. Voices are delivered in Japanese with the option of having either Japanese or English subtitles, so everything's accessible. There are no significant auditory cues.
