Firstly I bought this game as a drawing ref tool, and I am quite satisfied with it. Particularly because there is a mode where you act as the photographer and you can take shots of the females and save them. Some of the mini games are actually pretty fun. You can change their swimsuits by earning points to buy them in game. I am really having a blast as a photographer. It makes me feel like a sports illustrated swimsuit model photographer.

A DOA Paradise Review April 6, 2010
Soo W. Choe (New York, USA)
7 out of 9 found this review helpful

I purchased Dead Or Alive Paradise because I had enjoyed the original Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball on the first XBox. It was a completely unique game with its hybrid sport/simulator playstyle. Giving gifts? Collecting items? A pool-hopping game? Very odd indeed the first time I played it. However, it was nicely executed and I'm sure many enjoyed playing it as I have.

I will not comment on DOAX 2 since I don't have an XBOX360, but I was not compelled to play it from its reviews anyways.

As for DOA Paradise, I have to say it is a decent port of what I fondly remember from the original DOAX. From my own personal opinion, here is what I believe are its Pros and Cons:

Pros:
- The volleyball aspect is fair in execution. It isn't as responsive as the original DOAX, but I don't have trouble doing spikes, passes, setups, or blocks.
- I'd rate the graphics good for a PSP port. The girls look similar to how they did on the original DOAX.
- There is a radio station, so you can set your own MP3s to either play in daytime or nighttime.
- Zack dollars is easier to make in this game. For example, a good spike in the original DOAX would yield you Z2,000. In Paradise, you get Z5,000.
- The girls accept gifts more readily and don't reject so quickly.

Cons:
- It is a small PSP screen, so it wasn't uncommon for me to miss where the volleyball went sometimes.
- There are loading times involved when changing scenarios or loading a shop.
- There can be some lag during volleyball gameplay. Not enough to mess up what I am trying to do next, but noticeable.
- There are far less swimsuits/items then in the original DOAX. I'd surmise that maybe only 1/3 is in Paradise.
- I've yet to see a Beretta or sub-machine gun for purchase; that was such a good gift for Christie.
- The chest physics on the girls is unnatural and rather obnoxious to be honest.

DOA Paradise is a guilty pleasure. I'd recommend this game to anyone interested, to buy it and play it.

Pretty Nice game May 1, 2010

At first I didn't know what this game was about until I got the hang of it. The game is basically about getting clips of the girls doing their own thing while also imitating others. I think it is very nice game to play on the go.

While there are many positives, I think Tecmo could improve and make this a truly incredible and refined game.

Here's hoping the next installment is up to Tecmo's high quality standards!!
