Dead or Alive: Xtreme 2, the suntanned sequel to Xbox's 'vacation simulator', is due out for Xbox 360 before the end of the year and we've got new footage from most of its game modes - check the movies tab above to watch the two main events, volleyball and jet-skiing, or a further glimpse of the button-mashing minigames.
The volleyball could be mistaken as being taken from the first game - right down to having the same speech and animation (although the motion of hair and the DOA girls' more prominent assets have seen some attention) - but this is the first time the new jet-skiing event, obviously inspired by Wave Race, has been shown off.
Four minor minigames round out the DOAX2 schedule - a button-mashing beach sprint, an extended version of the first game's pool-hopping, a tug-of-war and a bun-fight-by-the-pool game, which is as close as the fighting gals get to actually squaring off. Our hopes for a DOA4-engined pillow fight with a deep combo and counter system have been dashed.
