At the end of the day, you can head over to the casino which brings up some generic gambling games that are nothing more than ways to waste time. The DOA girls are featured on the cards and even on some of the slot machines, but that's the only connection between these and DOA. Money earned here can be used in the numerous shops on the island. You can buy, as mentioned above, swimsuits, hairpieces, shoes, suntan lotion, and more with the money earned. Also, each night, Zack delivers a present to your girl. Some of these are mildly cool (featuring promotional videos and the like for other DOA games) but others are just plain stupid. Why do you need a guitar? An Uzi? Oh, you can WEAR the Uzi while playing volleyball. Makes sense....

In order to actually play the volleyball segment of the game, you need to find yourself a partner. This is done by buying them gifts and basically bribing them into teaming up with you. Make sure you pay attention to what colors they like or they'll take your gifts and toss 'em out into the trash. Yes, you'll be referring to the instruction book time and time again to make sure your purchasing the right color hair bonnet. Even then they may not choose to team up with you depending on their personal preferences. The entire thing reminds me of one of those Japanese dating games that never come out over here in the states. Is it too much to ask to include a REAL game here??

The music is of the teeny-bopper variety featuring the likes of Christina Aguilera, Bob Marley, and Reel Big Fish. It's really suits the game perfectly, that cannot be denied. If this isn't your thing, the custom soundtrack feature of the X-Box can be used to blare whatever tunes you like. The girls high pitched voices will get one your nerves after a while, but it's something you'll have to deal with. Zack is voiced by Dennis Rodman in case you care, but he by no means adds anything to this already stale game.

The only way to describe this game is "virtual kiddy porn." The game hardly earns it's M rating with no nudity (except for a VERY brief scene in the games intro, but even then it's hardly noticeable). Barely any of the bathing suits reveal something more than you'll see on network TV. It doesn't even gain extra points here either. This is NOT a volleyball game. This is NOT gambling game. This isn't even a decent "dating sim." In fact, it's not much of anything.
