Tecmo is taking a break from Dead or Alive fighting games and releasing another Dead or Alive beach game. You know, girls with impossible curves in impossible swimsuits.
The last Dead or Alive beach game, Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2, was released in late 2006. Like the upcoming DoA: Paradise, the game featured girls on the beach and mini-games.
Paradise is the third console game in the spin-off series, and the first to come to the PSP. The previous two titles were on the Xbox and the Xbox 360 respectively.
The last title, Xtreme 2, was not a very good game. Paradise has only up to go (unless the developers really blow it). Let's see how the new trailer stacks up against the last two — click [video=youtube;joVwihBRcDU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNk6k3fC2ws"]here[/URL] to watch Xtreme and Dead or Alive: Paradise is to a canoe as Dead or Alive: Xtreme is to a jet ski.
Change is good. What has always made the idea of the Dead or Alive: Xtreme serious fun (the reality of playing these games is another issue altogether) is the playfulness. Yes, the eye candy was obvious, but if you thought the previous title punched players in the head with the sex hard-sell, Paradise is a Steinway piano of T&A following out of a second floor window directly onto the player below. SPLAT!
