Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
Oct 18, 2007
According to the Entertainment Software Association's 2006 report, 38 percent of gamers are females. These numbers are down from 2005, when the fairer sex reportedly accounted for 43 percent of the pie.
It seems that gaming continues to be a mostly male affair, so what's the best way to penetrate this demographic? Judging by the sex-filled ads we've seen over the years, it looks like the best way to a young man's wallet has - and always will be - through his pants. Read on and ...

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
Admittedly, the relevance of this clip is negligible considering that Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 hit shelves at the close of 2006. However, GamerSquad thought it somewhat poignant considering the recent slamming of Heavenly Sword by Dead or Alive creator Itagaki Tomonobu, who recently labelled the eagerly anticipated PS3 exclusive as being "half-assed."
Point being? Well, with predominantly poor critical reviews for Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (GameSpot ¿ 59%, IGN ¿ 64%), perhaps the Team Ninja boss should curb his scathing criticisms while reflecting on this overtly desperate piece of flagrantly 'half assed' and sexist marketing for a game built on tantalising the easily titillated pre-pubescent school boy demographic.
Clearly Tomonubu has never heard it's not the breast idea to throw semi-naked stones in glass houses.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
An overwhelming majority of gamers are male, so it makes perfect sense for every marketing team in the world to target their software at young guys. And what do all men ages 18 to one zillion love? Girls, gore and big loud machines. If they could make a game about a firefighting bikini squad that hunts down zombies in a decked-out sex/fire truck, world peace would be declared. But until that day, we have to settle with regular old T & A.
Developers are well aware of this, so occasionally ...

The Japanese powerhouse developer is famed worldwide for the Dead Or Alive and Ninja Gaiden series. But it looks like the studio could be branching out in a new direction completely.
In an exclusive interview with head honcho Tomonobu Itagaki, the Team Ninja boss revealed that the firm's new game will be like no type of game Itagaki has ever worked on ...

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
When Microsoft proudly showed the Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 trailer at this year's TGS, I felt embarrassed for them. This was the game the company was pinning hopes and dreams on? Come on. DOA X2 is anything but mainstream and appeals only to a small segment. Hardly a title worth giving that eXtra push to. Well, turns out I was wrong, and Microsoft Japan was very right. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 has cracked the top ten in sales, coming in at number 7 and moving 45,065 copies in its first week. Wow, just wow.» Read More

It seems that Japanese gamers really have a different taste compared to the US. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 has been received pretty dissapointing here with IGN giving only a 6.4, but the Japanese are pretty positive about the game, giving it a 7.5 on average.
Tune in for some more marks given by the newest edition of the Japanese gamesmagazine Famitsu.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
Yes, you've read it right. In the top 10 poll of the most popular magazine in Japan, Famitsu, Xbox 360's RPG Blue Dragon has just managed its way up to the 3rd most anticipated game in this country, surprisingly leaving behind titanic titles in the region like Metal Gear Solid 4 and The Legend Of Zelda.
This is the first time ever that an Xbox or Xbox 360 game reaches such high levels of anticipation in the land of the rising sun. Big names like Sakaguchi, Toriyama and Uematsu and the massive advertising in Japan are undoubtedly the causes behind this achievement some would call a miracle.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
November 6, 2006 - Tecmo today announced that the sequel to the favorite tropical island sports game, Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2 for the Xbox 360, has gone gold and will ship November 14th to retailers.
All nine of the DOA girls are back to the beach soaking up the sun, splashing in the waves, and frolicking in the pool on New Zack Island. Jump on your personal watercraft and beat your opponent with style and class as you race around the island. Dig in deep as you bump, set and spike the ball to victory. Prepare for intense pool action as you battle for glory with Tug-of-War, Pool Hopping, and Butt Battle or grab an inner-tube and go careening down the slippery Water Slides.
"DOAX2 is one of the best looking games I have ever seen for the Xbox 360," said Tecmo's Marketing Manager, Yoh Watanabe. "Xtreme 2 really takes advantage of the hardware and shows off the beauty of the girls and the environments. You really start to feel like you're on this island with a bunch of beautiful girls. Too bad it's just a game."
Visit the different shops throughout New Zack Island to purchase hundreds of bikinis and accessories, volleyballs, or upgraded watercraft! Tired of playing with yourself? Log onto Xbox Live and compete head to head with others in a challenging game of Marine Race or keep it old school with Beach Volleyball.

The latest Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 trailer seems to have been made just to drop the "we only play it for the volleyball and dating-game elements" case out from under us - no gameplay, and all notorious "gravure" pose scenes. Hit the Movies tab above for the scandalous footage.
So, if you're game for watching the cast roll in the sand, pole-dance, torment crabs, bob on inflatable killer whales and look vulnerable in the jungle, this is the flick for ...

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
Let no one doubt the power a popular anime artist and a popular RPG developer can have on a system's success in Japan. 1up is reporting that pre-orders for the 10,000 limited edition Blue Dragon Xbox 360 bundles are selling briskly, with some retailers running out of stock within minutes. This is the same console that barely sold 2,000 units in the country last week, making the healthy interest all the more surprising.
Is this sales surge a temporary blip due to a collectible bundle, or will Microsoft be able to parlay the interest into a sustainable market share in the country? Either way, we'd advise Microsoft that a boob-filled bundle for Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 couldn't hurt in the land of the giant huggable Kasumi pillow.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
Microsoft and Tecmo generated a whole lot of controversy following the announcement of a life-size inflatable Kasumi cushion that was bundled with special Dead or Alive Ultimate Xbox bundles. Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 fans won't be getting anything nearly as wild, but they will have a chance to make their 360 look a whole lot more attractive.
Tecmo will release a special Xbox 360 faceplate to coincide with the 11/22 Japanese release of DOAX2. The faceplate, which features Kasumi in a two-piece, will retail for 3,000 yen and will be sold through the Tecmo Online Shop and videogame outlets throughout Japan.
There's no word yet on the availability of this faceplate in America, so those wanting to make their 360 look real nice will want to consult an importer.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
The majority of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 screens shown up to this point featured relatively demure bathing suits. Even the "official" ones released during the recent Tokyo Game Show and X06 in Spain continued that trend.
However, the demo on the show floor apparently had much more risqué items for display.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
With PlayStation 3 looming, its performance so far has hardly been auspicious - but Xbox Japan boss Takashi Sensui believes that Microsoft's efforts with 360 in the Far East will finally come to fruition this holiday.
While the bulk of media and consumer attention at last week's Tokyo Game Show was focused on an overwhelmed Sony stand, Sensui insisted that his struggling platform was finally receiving the content to match the value proposition to turn around Microsoft's fortunes in a territory which has thus far largely shrugged at a console the West has embraced.
"Japanese consumers are somewhat reluctant to take in new brands, particularly if the brand has come from outside Japan," Sensui told GamesIndustry.biz in an exclusive interview during last week's event.
"We've been here for several years now and we've launched a new campaign this summer for 360. The response has been very positive - people now feel they're very close to 360, that it's more relevant to their lives and particularly for gamers that Xbox 360 is the best platform there is."
Key to Microsoft's optimism this holiday is a triumvirate of 360-exclusive titles, spearheaded by Mistwalker's hotly-tipped RPG Blue Dragon and including Capcom's Lost Planet and Tecmo's Dead Or Alive Xtreme 2.

Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2
Microsoft have released a list of games that will be featuring at this year's TGS. There are not many surprises, apart from the omission of the game everyone wants to see: Halo 3.
There are also a couple of games I have not heard of, such as Super Robot Taisen XO, so it will be interesting to see exactly what that turns out to be. Of course, it could be a Japanese title, since the event is in Japan, and might be an attempt to try and sell more 360s to the unwanting Japanese public. The games are as follows:
MotoGP'06 (THQ)
WWE 2007 SmackDown vs. Raw (THQ)
The Outfit (THQ)
Vampire Reign (AQ Interactive)
A Ressha de Gyouku HX (Artdink)
Dead Rising (Capcom)
Lost Planet Extreme Condition (Capcom)
Winning Eleven Serie (Konami)
Operation Darkness (Success)
Project Sylpheed (Square Enix)
Tomb Raider Legend (Eidos)
X-Men The Official Game (Spike)
Prey (Spike)
Full Auto (Sega)
Sonic the Hedgehog (Sega)
Chikyuu Boueigun X (D3)
Fuzion Frenzy 2 (Hudson)
Culdcept Saga (Bandai Namco)
Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream (Bandai Namco)
Mobile Suit Gundam: Operation: Troy (Bandai Namco)
The Idol Master (Bandai Namco)
Super Robot Taisen XO (Banpresto)
Tenchu Senran (From Software)
Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 (Tecmo)
Forza Motorsport (Microsoft)
Viva Pinata (Rare)
Riot Act [Crackdown] (Microsoft)

We've got new footage from Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2, the suntanned sequel to Xbox's 'vacation simulator." Check the movies tab above to watch the two main events - volleyball and jet-skiing - as well as looks at four of the button-mashing minigames.
The volleyball could be mistaken as being taken from the first game - right down to having the same speech and animation (although the motion of hair and the DOA girls' more prominent assets have seen some attention) - but this is the first time the ...

Like it or loathe it, Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2 is headed to Xbox 360, and Tecmo's unabashedly sexy trailer hints at several of the new mini-games that take the series beyond just its beach volleyball origins.
New elements include a water slide game, a tug of war on floating pool platforms and the back-to-back Hip Wrestling game, where your only goal is to grind your opponent off balance and send them off the platform with a splash. Volleyball, hopping and casino games will return as well, since ...
