Review special: “Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball” |
Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball is a fine example of just how fast time can pass. I remember when it was first exposed (oo-er) last year. I remember being insanely jealous when the US got a hold of it (phwoar!) and being mortally, fatally depressed at the notion of having to wait seventy-odd days before I personally could get my hands on it (fnarr!)
And yet, here we are, in what seemed like no time at all, with the game available worldwide, with every region having given it a damn good seeing to (hronk!)
And no amount of rubbish innuendo can disguise that fact that DOAXBV is finally here and is undoubtedly one of the most fantastic videogames of all time.
To ease the strain somewhat, I have broken up my spectacular odyssey into the realm of DOAX into several sections, complete with pictures and captions and things. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it, ie not at all.

Extra special thanks to Riskbreaker for the screenshots, Punchinello for the banners, VenJredd for all those wonderful movie clips and images, and to everyone on the forums who laughed at me when the PAL release of this game got pushed back three months.
