Pics deleted...IGN & Microsoft are cracking their whips!

Interesting screenshots. You can actually play volleyball as part of the game?

this is what it says on ebgames.com about the game..
key word here is receive "one"
EDIT: i was looking around tecmo's website and there it says if you pre-order the game from them, you recieve a poster.

I'm not saying she couldn't be comfortable swimming in that. I am saying that she would be arrested for wearing that to a pubic, er I mean public beach.

LOL you need to play for games that come out of Japan I had a friend in college that was into some of the more "ahem" interesting games...

Oh, I and don't see why people car so much about the stuff that comes with the game I find I just toss most of it in a box and it takes up space. And lets not mention moveing all that crap...

This is distressing. I have it on order for $39 plus free one day shipping, but I don't want to get stuck with a card I don't want. :frowning:
I wonder if you'd know what card was in the box if you get it from a B&M ?
Failing all else, maybe we could trade within the forum?

Hmmm...I just read at the Tecmo forums that the cards are inside the keepcase and are random, so you won't know what you are getting.

Tecmo should Do The Right Thing (tm) and offer the set on their webstore.

$39 dollars with free one day ???? where exactly can i get that ??

 

[Dan B]

Apparently those are cards & not actually box covers...
( so settle down Dave )
And now IGN Insiders enjoy the DOAXBV Media Orgy: (click pic to go to article with vids & pics)

Well I've just watched a ton of vids & pics, & I find the whole relationship aspect of the game highly arousing, so I'm all over this one for sure. The volleyball game looks fast as heck but the camera angle looks kinda iffy.

must sleep now...

Another magazine review: Famitsu gave it 9 7 8 7.
Points:9
Spend time on a beautiful island with beautiful women. Nothing is wanting, it's simply luxurious time. You can play volleyball all day or you can absorb yourself in the casino. A vacation in a southern island that you can go to as many times as you want...that kind of fun. I think it's entertainment that breaks out of the narrow meaning of the word 'game'. These are the best graphics ever. The slot machines are addictive!
Points: 7
The high quality polygon characters are very sexy and the ability to dress them up to your liking is exceptional. You can get all the money you need in the oddly addictive casino, but the volleyball, including forging a relationship with your partner and the camera, is not very deep which is too bad. However, a world in which you can visit an island as many times as you want is not bad by itself.
Points: 8
The swimsuits are racy, which is pretty sexy. They obviously put a lot of work into it, especially the opening. The volleyball controls are simple but there is some strategy involved and it is rewarding. However, due to the camera, you can sometimes lose sight of a characters' movement or position which is a drawback. The casino games were more fun than I thought they would be.
Points: 7
The ability to save money, buy outfits and dress the characters up is exceptional. For that reason, this game is totally for the fans. For better or worse, the beach volleyball is simple but the end result seems thin. The main problem is that it is difficult to hit the ball in the direction you want. The casino is more fun than you would think and this is the area you'll probably have the most fun in.

Broke down and preordered with EBgames.com. Even went for the extra $3 to overnight it.

BTW Amazon sells the calender for approx $10, and if combined with other stuff can ship free. Anyone see a better offer?
