The casino simulator is solid but basic, the roulette, poker and blackjack give a welcome break from the depravity of giggling Japanese girls bouncing up and down on your screen. Added details, such as the bikini top strings breaking during Butt Battles and the development of suntans – and even tan lines as the 14 days progress, are a nice touch. The way the character models are rendered, the variety of animations and the physics of how each of the girls move is all painstakingly lifelike. In terms of visuals, Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 is beautiful. You can also visit the “Zack Of All Trades” shop where you can buy frisbees, soft drinks and other odds and ends, as well as the Sports Shop, which is where you buy your bikinis, oh, and volleyballs – I think there are volleyballs in there too.

The basic premise of the game sees you select one of the following locales: Poolside, Pool, Tranquil Beach and Niki Beach, where you can partake in one of several games such as volleyball, rock climbing, tug-of-war, or my favorite – the Butt Battle where you try and knock your opponent off her Styrofoam float using a well-timed series of rump-to-rump attacks. However, a purchase of the Asian version (that’s “ Asian” version – not Japanese) of DOAX3 will yield you the ability to use the English subtitles to navigate your way through your two week holiday on the secluded Zack Island. Japanese people are different – and we say that with no malice or judgement implied. If you are reading this review as a follower of the game series, you probably already know that Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 was never given a Western release, and there is good reason for it Japanese markets differ from Western markets because Japanese tastes differ greatly from our own. Sadly, the game never manages to leave the shallow end of the pool


Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 promises 14 days of wet & wild fun in the sun.
