* The volleyball is awful, I played the original on the Xbox and it was actually a good game in itself, to the extent that I was able to convince my girlfriend to ignore the blatant boob show and enjoy a fun little game. This time around, the AI is hopeless, and the real focus of the game is on closeups of underwear in the replays.

* As per the original, you’ve got no chance of progressing in the game unless you take part in the Sims-like character building. I played two matches, won one and lost one, but my partner ditched me afterwards with no explanation. What the game didn’t tell you is that you have to buy gifts for your partner to keep them happy, that sort of thing, at least I guess you do because there’s fuck all in-game to tell you about this. And once your partner’s ditched you, you can’t play any more volleyball until you find another partner, and the game’s sure as hell not going to tell you how to do that. It probably involves presents again.

* Horrible, horrible soundtrack. At least the original had some kitsch classics on it, this time around it’s basically Hilary Duff and the Baha Men. Plus some girl band called Sweet Female Attitude who had one UK flop single in 2000, yet manage to get four awful songs which practically play on repeat during the game. And if you put a custom soundtrack on - I had Radiohead - it doesn’t fit in with the game and it all starts to seem incredibly seedy. Which it is.

* As the reviewer said, the game offers you all of these rubbish mini-games (and the volleyball, which is practically just a mini-game now anyway) as a way of getting more money, when high-stakes games against shoddy poker opponents in the casino will put you in the big money in no time.

* Horrid horrid cheesy two-minute CGI intro which can’t be skipped (well maybe it can the second time you play the game, but I only played it once, so christ knows)

And to make matters worse, there’s no “easy” achievements, so this game is stuck on my Recently Played Games list for absolutely no reason

HATE HATE HATE etc

I do not own this game but video games are like music. Everyone has thier own taste and you can’t label someone just because they like something that the mass majority does not. I think this game is retarded but I would never stereotype someone that bought it Glovner! Maybe it’s because I am a 43 year old adult and you are how old Glovner??? I would guess about 12!

Nerds? Geeks? Shut-ins?

I’ll play what I want, when I want thanks. That is why I bought the box. GoW, Rez, Guitar Heroes, GRAW, DOAX2…whatever.

only single virgin guys play this shit

You might as well change your gamertag to “I am a Virgin”.

Are ‘real’ girls really better? No. They’re just real…[thinks about Pamela Anderson, recently divorced from Kid Rock, for a second]…And even then, they’re fake!

That scale should max out at ~20, for the really old folks the risk of a heart attack is too big

…not that I’d know.

So this is the game I should showcase whenever I feel like selling 360’s to 13 year old nerds ?

Nice amusing review btw Made me smile lots (yes, the review did, not the boobies)
