CharactersĪll playable characters hail from the Dead or Alive series. Unlike the first game, which pitched itself as a valid beach volleyball game that just so happened to feature a cast made entirely out of busty, scantily-clad women, going as far as to hide all other elements of gameplay from marketing, Xtreme 2 makes no pretense about it, openly admitting that the central draw to the game is ogling virtual women in bikinis. A notable controversy exists surrounding the prominent use of scantily clad women as a draw. Xtreme 2 focuses mostly on expanding that collection of swimsuits a feature appealing to fans of collecting objects like Pokemon, or cars in the Gran Turismo series. Those credits can then be used to buy collectible swimsuits, gifts, or for gambling.
Credits can be earned by playing volleyball, racing on jet skis, and other activities. The game revolves around the obtainment of credits.
Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 is the sequel to Dead or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball, and features the female characters of many Team Ninja games.
