I agree with you if you think the game play doesn't have to be awesome and the story can be non-existent, because you really just want to play a simple, fun game with incredible looking girls in bikinis. I wasn't looking for a great volleyball, jet ski, or random mini-game game. I just wanted something fun with hot girls in it, something like Rumble Roses XX. With that in mind, I am still incredibly frustrated by this game and I'm concerned that a number of 5 star reviews are misleading (as in, this is not porn, this is not hentai, this game will not fulfill your sexual desires).
The DOA girls look incredible - except when their hair clips through their bodies, which is not sexy.
Taking photos of the DOA chicks should be fun, but I found using the camera to be overly difficult. Plus, there is no pause button during the photo shoot, so you only have about 20 seconds to try and snap as many photos as you can before the scene is completed.
You can only complete 3 activities per day, then you're forced back to your hotel room to play casino mini-games. Something as simple as giving a girl a gift or falling off an incredibly tough water slide count as 1 of your 3 activities each day.
The focus of the game is on giving gifts to the other girls and getting them to like you enough to where they will wear swimsuits that you give them. The problem is that purchasing and giving gifts is a very tedious and fairly confusing process.
You can purchase watercraft, but when your vacation has ended there is a chance that when you go back on vacation with another girl the expensive watercraft you purchased will be gone.
The casino mini-games are fun but stay away from the one-armed bandits. For some reason the game designers felt there should be a massive penalty that appears to occur more often than a regular win: you bet 100 and unlike anything I've seen before...you can lose 50,000! Can you imagine if Vegas worked this way, you put $5 down for black jack and when you lose they ask for everything left in your wallet?
I really wanted to like this game, the DOA girls look great in their suits and a few of the games are fun, but it is entirely too frustrating - It could have been so much better with just a little more thought. Rent for a few bucks first to see if you think it's worth it, you might just save yourself $15 that way, which may be better suited to buying the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.
