Beach volleyball game featuring Dead or Alive characters in revealing outfits. The volleyball gameplay is surprisingly enjoyable and mini-games add variety. Unapologetically what it is.

Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball (Xbox) price, value & rarity
European PAL pressing of the seaside Dead or Alive spin-off, distributed in early 2003, rarer than the American version owing to a more measured European distribution. The PAL disc completes the Western gallery of a title turned cult, sought as much for its technical prowess as for its Xbox-icon status in Japan. Desirability rests on that relative scarcity of the PAL run and on the franchise's lasting standing among collectors.
A questionable morality
Officially a beach volleyball game among fighters on holiday, the experience is mostly about gifting swimsuits, adjusting the camera and collecting flattering poses of your partners. The sport acts as a shop window for a cheerful, unabashed voyeurism, one you indulge while convincing yourself, for the length of a set, that you came for the ball.
