Game Overview --------------- This beach volleyball simulation game (I will not classified as a sports game...) features those lovely chicks from Dead of Alive Series. The game involves from Zack, the winner of the DOA 3 Tournament who subsequently strikes lottery at the casino and bought over an island. The name was named after him. Up to something mischief, he invites ONLY female competitors from DOA series for the tournment, DOA 4. You will be choosing to play as one of 8 gals for 14 day vacation in Zack's Island. ===== 3. Zack's Island --------------- Zack Island consists of several places of interest and they are:- * JUNGLE It's cool under the trees and it's green as far as the eye can see. * HOTEL It's a paradise! There's even a casino! * ZACK'S STATUE Hmm... * RADIO STATION The DJ has the place jumpin' Keep those request coming! * BASS ISLAND What a cool little island. Well they say: When in Rome... * SPORTS SHOP Buy swimsuits here. Check back daily! * ACCESSORY SHOP Some nice, small items. Lots of variety * VACHT HARBOR All those sails are quite a sight * NIKI BEACH A nice out-of-the-way spot. Wonder what's here * PRIVATE BEACH A quite beach for Zack's private use * ZACK OF ALL TRADES A stall that would opens on fourth day of a girl's vacation. 3.1 - Basis The gameplay is relatively simple as you just need to your time on the island by playing beach volleyball, practice your hopping at the poolside, purchases accessories and stuff from shops and interact with the girls that stays on the island. 3.2 - Options Menu Before you start the game, you can go to the Options where you get to switch your controls between digital and analog. Analog controls will cause the power of the character's spike, serve or jump based on how hard you have pressed the button. Digital allows you to have a 4- buttons control with Attack (hard), Attack (soft) and Receive (hard) or Receive (soft). In my opinion, digital controller is easier as you can control the hard/soft of the controls that you want. You can view the federal warning and age settings under the Options menu. 3.3 - Starting the Game Every character has her own likes and dislikes. Winning games help to build teamwork and the relationship between the two. Whoever you choose as your character, they will meet up with Lisa on the poolside who offers to take you on a tour around the island. Of course, you are playing as Lisa, you will meet up with Tina instead. On the first play, you will be guided along for the first day. However if you have completed the 14-day vacation with at least 1 character, you will be given the option to skip the tour. However, it will bring down your affection with Lisa. You start the game with 10,000 Zack Dollars or your previous remaining amount from the character's previous vacation. The reason why it is Lisa inviting your character for the tourney is because she is co-host of Zack's Island & Zack's sister! 3.4 - Replaying a vacation If you are using the same saved file but using another character, you will most likely find items that you have previously given the character as gifts (provided that she did not discard them...). Unfortunately, they cannot be re-sent as presents $_$:) C O N T R O L S (Configuration for analog controller - default settings) _______________________________________________________________________ (A) A button # black button R/ right thumbstick (B) B button () white button L/ left thumbstick/ D-Pad (X) X button [S] start button [B] Back button [L] left trigger [R] right trigger (A) Select or Advance command.

Digital Controls - Generally the controls are the same except you can determine the hardness and softness of attack and receive commands. - Typically, it is easier than analog as you can determine the power of the spikes/serves, which are crucial in winning beach volleyball games. - Digital controls will apply only to gameplay of the beach volleyball & the hopping game. The default settings for the digital controls are: (A) Button - Attack Hard (B) Button - Receive Hard (Y) Button - Attack Soft (X) Button - Receive Soft Winning hopping game at the poolside or winning a beach volleyball game nabs you Zack dollars, the currency used on the island. You can also choose to gamble these money at Casino when your character gets back to the casino at night. D A Y A C T I V I T I E S A single day on Zack Island is practically divided into 4 "parts" - morning, daytime, evening and night time. You can only doing the following events during the day (morning, daytime & evening):- A day at Zack Island can be divided into 4 "parts" as the following: 1) Morning - everything accessible* except for Bass Island & Casino 2) Daytime - everything accessible* except for Casino 3) Evening - everything accessible* except for Bass Island & Casino 4) Night time - you can only access the Casino. * Jack of All Trades only opens from 4th day of your vacation. P o o l s i d e _____________________________________________________________________ Take a rest at the poolside and play the hopping mini-game. You can also view your items and have a rest (gravure system mode) at the pool. Note that when you are not moving D-Pad or left thumbstick, you will enter into the gravure mode while your character is lying on the bench chair. Entering the poolside will give you the following options: Leave the poolside : Leave the pool Take a rest* : Enter into pool gravure mode system Play hopping game* : Play the mini game View items : View your items, accessories, items & presents Quit the game : Exit "Zack's Island Mode" I supposed most of the options are straight forward except for the options mark in asterisk. Select either one of these commands will allows you to move past a "part" of a day. Gravure mode will differ depends on the "part" of the day. I have also discovered that the Gravure movie will change if you change your character's costume or equipped the character's favorite item. Please refer to gravure mode listing under each individual character's profile. Gravure movie shown are also based on the days. For example for Hitomi, there are 2 gravure movies for daytime. You will get the gravure movie of her sitting by poolside on odd days while a gravure movie of her lying on the poolside on even days. ------------ Note: The digital controls can be applied for this Hopping Game mini-game. ------------ The mini-game objective is relatively simply. You just need to move your character from one side of the pool to other by jumping on the floating boards. Once you fall into the pool, you will be given the option to retry or quit the mini-game. For analog controls, Hopping is basically affected by pressure sensitivity of the (A) button. Your character will hop further if you hit the (A) button harder. You can calibrate the pressure before beginning of any hopping mini-game game. Hit the start button to proceed. You can make use of digital controls by hit (A) as hard button and (B) as soft button. The faster you get to other side of the pool, the higher your score will be. All points earned on Zack's Island will be converted to Zack Dollars. In between, you will be gaining Nice points for making nifty steps by chaining your jumps smoothly. Nice points will be accumulated during hopping. However if you fall into the pool, the nice points earned will be not be forfeited i.e. you will not receive any Zack dollars. You can also zoom in while playing the mini-game. The hopping game can generates a steady source of income and it also allows you to be familiarised with the analog controls. It is ideal for practicing with the analog controls. S h o p s _____________________________________________________________________ I supposed I don't need to explain too much as Lisa will explain for you when you are playing the game for the first time. There are a total of three shops - Sports Shop, Accessory Shop and Zack of All Trades. The third shop will only open from the 4th day of the character's vacation. The items will be changed between days. So make sure you check them out every time. However, there are a few points to take note of: . Items such as food (milk, lobster, crabs, etc) & flowers (hibiscus, roses, etc) will withered or go stale when you have keep them for more than half a day. Once withered/spoilt, they will be discarded automatically. . Accessories are the only items that can be worn. Exceptions includes the character's favorite item. For example, Kasumi's favorite item allow you to change her hairstyle to braids or ponytail. . Swimsuits sold in the Sports Shops are ONLY specific to the character's theme. For example, you will find flowers-theme swimsuits when you are playing as Kasumi and birds-theme swimsuits when you are playing as Leifang. . In order to other theme swimsuits is by offering presents to the other girls so that they will sent you a return gift when you return back to the hotel at night. You can also play as the other character and give gifts to your character, which is the faster method. . Zack will give you 3 swimsuits for the character when they return to the hotel after winning beach volleyball. You can expect to receive a gift from Zack every night. It seems that changing to new swimsuits helps you to get new swimsuit earlier. . Hit (X) button before attempting to purchase will allow you to know whether the item is in your inventory. This hint is pretty useful when you attempting to complete the swimsuit collection for that particular character. You can also receive your character's swimsuit from other characters as gift. B e a c h e s / J u n g l e _____________________________________________________________________ There are a lot of things while on the isolated regions of the island. You can play beach volleyball when you have a partner and there are 2 characters within that area. When there is nobody within that area, you will automatically proceed to the gravure mode for your character. Hit Start or (A) button to exit. The time will passes for a "part". If you are alone, there are 1 or 2 companions on the area, you will be given the option of:- 1) forming a partnership and 2) giving the girl a present. There is some art in forming partnerships and giving gifts. Before forming a partnership, you must be on good terms with the character. The relationship can be enhanced by giving likeable gifts to the character. If you give a wrong item, it will bring down the mood between the 2 characters. Winning volleyball games help to build friendship. For the list of likeable objects, please refer to the Characters Section for more details. Doing a gift presentation or forming partnership (fail or succeed) will result you to spend a "part" of the day. If you have a partner and there are 2 characters found in that area, you will be given an additional option of having a volleyball game. You can pause the game by hit the Start button. If you choose to quit the game, it will be counted as you lose the beach volleyball game. ---------------- Beach Volleyball ---------------- The volleyball game is relatively simple as it involves moving the character around the field and using 2 buttons based on how hard you hit the button. Good serves, blocks and spikes can earn you nice points. The larger the point margins, the more points you will earn. Basic Rules: - Matches use the rally point system, where the serve goes to whoever team has mostly recently scored. The character will take turns in serving. The 1st player will have the chance to serve first. - The team that gets to 7 points first wins. Deuce may also be called when the score is 6 to 6. If the score reaches 9 - 9, the first team to reaches 10 points wins the game. - There are no sidelines and endline on the court. - Your team will always be on the left side of the court. The volleyball game consists of 5 basic phrases: Serving ``````` - Hit Down or Up on the D-Pad to change position before your character begin to serve. - To perform a serve, hit (A) to toss the ball up and hit (A) again while the ball is in mid-air. You can make use of D-Pad to determine the aim point of opposition's court. Basically, there are 3 types of serves:- 1) Overhand Serve - the default serve technique. View the instructions above. If you hit with good timing and a strong force, you will be award 1000 nice points for the serve. 2) Underhand Serve To execute the serve, hold left on D-Pad when your character is facing right and hit (A) to toss and followed by (A) to hit. This move does not possesses much power but it is very easy to time. 3) Jump Serve To execute the serve, hold right on D-Pad when your character is facing right and hit (A) to toss. While the ball reaches the peak, hit (A) to perform a Jump Serve. A great technique but hard to time. If you hit with good time and strong force - you will be awarded 2000 nice points for the serve. Receiving ````````` - Move your character towards the ball and lightly tap (B) to hit the incoming serve or spike. - To perform Two Attack, Hold down (B) firmly when your character are about to recieve the ball. For your character to perform Two Attack, hold down (B) when your partner receives the ball. Tossing ``````` - Short Toss: Tap (B) as your teammate receives the ball - Long Toss: Press (B) firmly as your teammate receives the ball. - You can determine the direction by pressing Up or Down on the D-Pad. If you lightly tap (B) when your teammate is at the backcourt, you can give her a quick toss for a back attack. Spiking ``````` - Position your character with D-Pad and while the ball is in mid-air, hit (A) to jump and (A) again to perform a spike. The power of spike depends on hard you tap (A). - When an opponent attempts to block, tap (A) again to perform a feint. - You will be awarded 1000 points for perform a nice spike. Blocking ```````` - Timing is important. Hit (A) when your character is at the net to perform a block. Controlling your teammate -------------------------- The computer will automatically control your partner, but you can direct them with the right thumbsticks Normal Shift R/ Down from Above Your teammate decides whether to block or receive based on the position Block Shift R/ towards the net Your teammate will try for a block near the net. Receive Shift R/ away from the net Your teammate will try to receive the ball in the backcourt. General Tips ------------ Generally, it is a game based on reflexes and you will need to a lot of practcie. I myself spend approximate 3 hours to perfect my volleyball skills. Remember: Practice makes perfect. - Make your receiving acts timely. Otherwise your character will be very vulnerable for incoming spike. - Spikes are great tools for attack but do not use them too often. Ocassionally, use (B) for a soft spike when your opponent is attempting to block you. - Toss the ball often and set up your teammate for a spike. - Plays the backcourt while your teammate is in front court and vice versa. - Do not hit <- + any button when receiving a spike at the back court, your character will throw the ball off court most of the times... - You can force to automatic replay instantly by tapping L trigger after a score is regristered. This does not work on the match point. You will ONLY be awarded nice points if you are on good terms with your partner. Scoresheet and Zack Dollars Earned ------------------------------------ 7-0 150,000 Z Any other scores such as 7-6 and tie breaker scores 7-1 90,000 Z such as 9-7, 9-8, 10-9 will give 40,000 Z. If you 7-2 80,000 Z lose, no Zack Dollars (Z) will be earned. However, 7-3 70,000 Z you still get nice points that you have accumulated 7-4 60,000 Z in the game. 7-5 50,000 Z Nice Points Listing ------------------------------- Nice overhead serve 1000 Z Nice block 1000 Z Nice jumping serve 2000 Z Knock opponent over with jump spike 1000 Z Score a point with jump spike 1000 Z Typically, these are conditions to attain nice points from your partner. Nice moves are indicated by shadow movement and they are more powerful than normal moves. To do this, you must achieve a good timing on your serves/blocks/spikes... Match points counts more than nice points. For example, a -1 score will result a cut of 10,000 Zack dollars or 60,000 if your score is 6-0. You will need to score a lot of nice points to compensate for the loss. Thus, I do not recommend you to go for jumping serve as there is a high tendency of the ball hitting the net... If your character is getting on bad terms with your partner (due to losing beach volleyball matches or giving "dislike" & "hate" items to her), your partner's performance on the court will be weakened. The partner becomes more unwilling. It is like have a weak partner on your team. Thus maintaining a relationship is crucial in order to win breakout games. In-game or story relationships could hurt the team's partnership... For example, it is very hard to have a partnership between Kasumi and Ayane as Ayane hates Kasumi... The only solution is give "love" items to the partner and hope the relationship works out well. This will thus affect the ethusiasm rating of your character and partner. That is why it is marked with a "????" on the manual. Character Types ---------------- Character types indicates the character's strengths. For example, a character with high power rating indicates that the character could dealt powerful spikes that could be hard for the opposition who will be receiving. Below is the listing:- Stats What it does? ````` `````````````` Power (P) Affects the power dealt in the character's serves/spikes Technique (T) Affects character's receiving of spikes and passing. Defense (D) Affects character's defense in block and receiving power spikes. Enthusiasm Affects the character's mood in playing beach volleyball. Character Ratings (listed from manual) ---------------------- Kasumi Hitomi Helena Leifang Lisa Christie Tina Ayane `````` `````` `````` ``````` ````` ```````` ```` `````` P * **** ** * *** *** ***** ** T ***** * *** **** **** *** ** ***** D *** *** **** **** *** **** * ** Points 9 8 9 9 10 10 8 9 Type A B C C D D B A Speciality Type A: Technique - Kasumi and Ayane Speciality Type B: Power - Hitomi and Tina Speciality Type C: Defense - Helena and Leifang Speciality Type D: Generic - Lisa and Christie Strategy --------- Not all strategies could guranttee 100% victory. It still depends on how you make your decisions while on the court... For playing as Weak Power characters (Kasumi, Ayane, Helena & Leifang) ------------------------------------ If you are playing as Kasumi/Ayane/Leifang/Helena (weak attackers), it would advisible to recruit a character with high power rating for your offense. In this case, I would opt for Hitomi (in my opinion, she is easier to befriend than Tina...) Lastly, whenever you are going for a spike and opponent is jumping to block, use a soft spike avoid being blocked... Stay in the backcourt to utilize the character's technique ratings. (Despite categorised as a "Defense" character, Leifang has pretty good technique ratings...) For playing with Weak Technique characters (Hitomi and Tina) ------------------------------------------- Hitomi and Tina will be likely to exprience in handling tough spikes and lobbing the ball to their partners. I would recommend you to have these characters stay at the front line for spiking. As for Tina, do not go for blocks! Get high technique characters such as Leifang, Ayane, Kasumi or Lisa as their partners. For playing with Weak Defense characters (Ayane and Tina) ----------------------------------------- Defense does not count a lot if you do not go for blocks very often. For Ayane, keep her at the back when opponents are attacking due to her technique. As for Tina, stick at the front bay for catch lobs but do not go for blocks. N I G H T A C T I V I T I E S There are only 2 places of interest: the hotel and the casino. More details regarding the casino will be found at Section 6. H o t e l _____________________________________________________________________ Your character will automatically returns back to the hotel. You will be able to view your items, your collection, watch movies (earned from Zack), give presents to girls (especially your partner), sleep, go down to the casino and gamble or quit the game. Sleep and Collection --------------------- Sleep will bring you to next day of the vacation. Collection section allows you to view the number of swimsuits, accessories and items you have gained. Note that it is IMPOSSIBLE to gain all swimsuits within one vacation. You need to replay the Zack Island mode again by using the same file. The items, accessories and swimsuits collected will be available for usage when you play a new vacation with that particular character. Collection allows you to store 1 kind of that item. Giving Gifts ------------- In order to boost relationship with other 7 girls on the island, you will need to give them gifts. Gifts helps to build affection. If you get along with the other girl, they might even give you gifts! (Most importantly, other girl's collection of swimsuits.) You cannot wrap a gift at the hotel. You can only obtain gifts by buying and choose wrap at any one of the stores. If you are intend to send a gift which is perishable such as drinks, food or flowers, so make sure you bought these items during in the evening phrase. Gifts obtained from other girls and Zack will be unknown until you have opened the packaging. Note that you can give a gift from Zack to another girl! Gift boxes will give you a general idea of what the item will be like. Please take note that this is only way to built up affection with your partner as she no longer appears on the island. You cannot give video tapes, gold and silver volleyball and special swimsuits as gifts to other characters. Relationships also carries on from previous vacations. If you messed up the relationship with your current partner previously, most of the time, your partner will be unhappy thus breaking up the partnership eventually. Watch Videos ------------- There are a total of 7 video tapes, each earned from Zack. They are demos and creator's view about the series "Dead or Alive". DOA 1 Demo 1997 DOA 2 Realtime Demo 990217 DOA 2 Realtime Demo 990909 DOA 3 CF For Japan DOA 3 CF For UK DOA 3 CF For US DOA 3 Opening Movie Ninja Gaiden Trailer You will get them as you win more beach volleyball games. Some of tapes can only be obtained in your subsequent vacation with that character. You can view the video by selecting "Watch Video" option. C a s i n o ____________________________________________________________________ This is the place where you get to spend your money by playing poker, blackjack, slot machines, etc. More details will be covered under Section 6. ===== 4. Characters ------------ The cast of characters feature a total of 8 female characters from the Dead or Alive series. Each girls have her own set of swimsuits, hobbies, favorite color and interests. - Affection and Friendship - Personally, the character profiles includes swimsuits listing and tips on building up affection with the character. If you need a complete help on affection building, please refer to Robert Goode's Collectable Checklist FAQ, which is available at GameFAQs It is important to build up friendship as your partner will be more motivated to team up with your character, thus it is winning beach volleyball. Besides this, it also allows your teammate to accept certain swimsuits as gifts. For example, not all characters likes the Venus swimsuit. - Gift Giving - Please note that if the character is angry with your character, they will also DISCARD away the LOVED items. Thus it is not advisible to give a loved item to an angry character. If you want, wait for a day or so to give the gift. If you given a gift that the character has already have in their inventory, they will return the gift if you are good terms or discarded the item. - Phrases - The character's phrases are obtained once you are in good relationship with the character (i.e. you will find music notes on the character's icon). They will open the gift and give the phrase as their comments. - Gravure Movies - Every character has their own set of unique Gravure movies. Some of the movies can be locked when you are visiting that particular place at even or odd days. The gravure movie controls are stated in your manual.

Beware of items such as drinks, flowers and food. They will go spoilt after a period of time (around 1/2 to 3/4 of a day). Thus if you are buy them for a person who is not found, I recommend you to buy it in evening and sent them via Hotel's "Give a Gift" option. Items sold at Zack of All Trades can be only be bought once for that particular vacation. 2. As you give likeable accessories, the girls will wear it as you see them playing beach volleyball or during gurave mode. There is an important note regarding this. Make sure you did not give them the same gifts that they are currently wearing. I have tried once by giving Ayane a denim casquette which she is wearing. However, it got discarded despite her mood is good... 3. It is possible to give swimsuits as gifts. However, I supposed most people attempt to collect all swimsuits and would rather spend the money on rarer swimsuits and items for gifts. 4. On receiving a gift, make sure that you do NOT discard the item on that night. It will have a great impact on the giver's mood. If you want to discard, do it on the next day. 5. Gifts that is not opened on 13th night will be available for viewing on the next vacation you begin with the same character. However, the chances of perishable items get spoil is relatively high... 6. Get as many friends as possible so that you can finish the swimsuit collection fast! They will help by giving you swimsuits as presents... Specific swimsuits can also be obtained via this method. These swimsuits will be available only if you have played with the gift giving character. For example, I have played with both Hitomi and Kasumi. I got a gift from Kasumi that features the Gentian. 7. Playing volleyball does not affecting your character's relationship with the opposition team. Instead, it will affect the opposition team's relationship! It does have an impact on your character and her partner though... Thus the best solution is to WIN beach volleyball games. 8. This matter concerns Ayane and Kasumi. It seems that if you get along well with either one of them, you will get a negative effect with other due their personal hates. Well, I managed to get more information about relationships...

The character's hobbies and activates (in-game) can also easily related to their preferred gifts.

If you intend to give a swimsuit gift to a girl, make sure that the girl is not your partner (you have more opportunities in giving gift to her) and win games against that particular girl. Give her the swimsuit in evening (Ayane is a gift-thrower in the morning ^_^:). ===== 5. Exhibition Mode ----------------- I recommend you to play this mode first before starting to play Zack's Island mode. This mode could give you the feel of how the beach volleyball game is being played and it is an ideal training ground. You will be able to choose your characters and given 10 places for stage select. You will be able to use the acquired swimsuits from Zack's Island Mode for these friendly games. You can have a 2-player versus game. (Too bad, Tecmo did not add a 2 tag-mode for what it has did for DOA 3...). When selecting your party, you find the following options appear underneath the character. The swimsuit selectable comprises of every single swimsuit that you obtained in each of the 3 save files. Partner Level Mood ````````````` ```` Unwilling Weak Bad Usual Normal Neutral Confident Strong Good These three status indicates your partner's ability. Confident will bring in a strong teammate for the game. Under level select, you can set your skill level and that of the computer-controlled players. Choose from "Weak", "Normal" and "Strong". You can also set the total points from 7, 10 and 15. The Exhibition mode is also a useful mode for determining the character's mood. If you observe carefully, the character icon has some minor changes as her mood changes. Recognise the icons and use it to help you in determine moods of your companions while in Zack Island's Mode. You can find a detailed FAQ featuring this at GameFAQs. That's all for the Exhibition Mode! ===== 6. Bestiary ----------------- Legend Kasumi - Ka Helena - He Christie - Ch Tina - Ti Hitomi - Hi Leifang - Le Lisa - Li Ayane - Ay 6.a. Swimsuits ______________________________________________________________________ Swimsuits are classified by characters. Character's swimsuit names carries an individual group of names. For example, Kasumi's swimsuits are named after flowers while Leifang's swimsuits are named after birds. Swimsuits can be bought at the Sports Shop at any point of day (morning, daytime or evening). However you can only purchase character-specific swimsuits. Certain swimsuits can only be obtained from Zack as gifts. In order to get swimsuits other than the character's own, you need to get it from gifts with the following 2 methods:- 1) Get into good relationship with the target character. She will give you a swimsuit gift eventually. 2) Play as the target character on a vacation and give the swimsuit to your playing character. Choose "Leave tomorrow" and play as the playing character. You will find the swimsuit at your inventory! There is a problem with method 2 is that there is a possibility of the receiving character throwing away the swimsuit. The best solution is to build on good relationship with the character and give her the gift later. It is highly advisible not partner with the girl as you have more chances of giving gifts to the girl than night. Certain swimsuits upon equipped will give your character's additional features. For example, equipping the Black Cat swimsuit on Christie will features cat's ears on Christie. Zack will give 3 non-purchasable swimsuits to every character. These special swimsuits can only obtained for other character via gift giving. To collect all swimsuits, you may need to play for more than 3 vacations. These swimsuits cannot be discarded. You cannot discard a swimsuit while the character is wearing it. There are a total of 304 buyable swimsuits. The swimsuit listing can be found each individual character's profile. 6.b. Accessories ______________________________________________________________________ Accessories are items that can be bought from Accessory Shop & can be equipped on the character. Unlike swimsuits, you can purchase any of accessories listed below with any characters. The "Favorites" refers the character listing that you should give the gift to. Favorites that are marked with ? are unknown and will be updated when I got the character's positive reactions about it. The favorites listing may be subjected to errors. ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Watches/ Ribbons/ Bangles Item Cost Favorites ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Analog Wristwatch 27500 Ti, Li, Ay Black Bangle 1500 Ch Black Wristwatch 27500 Ti, Ch, Li Blue Wristwatch 20000 Ti, Hi Gold Ribbon 1000 Le Marble Bangle 1500 He Navy Ribbon 1000 Ti, Ch Navy Wristband 1500 Ti, Hi, Ch Pink Bangle 1500 Ka Pink Ribbon 1000 Ka Pink Wristband 1500 Ka Purple Ribbon 1000 Ay Red Bangle 1500 Ch Ribbon Bracelet (Blue) 1500 Ti Ribbon Bracelet (Orange) 1500 Le Ribbon Bracelet (Pink) 1500 Ka Ribbon Bracelet (Purple) 1500 Ay Ribbon Bracelet (Red) 1500 Li Ribbon Bracelet (Sky Blue) 1500 Hi Ribbon Bracelet (White) 1500 He Ribbon Bracelet (Yellow) 1500 Le White Ribbon 1500 He White Wristband 1500 He Wristband (Leopard) 1500 Li Wristband (Panther) 1500 Ch ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Sunglasses Item Cost Favorites ``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Black Framed Glasses 10000 Ch Blue Sunglasses 10000 Hi Brown Framed Glasses 10000 ?

This game supports custom soundtrack where you can use saved soundtracks from your Xbox for the in-game as background music. Some of the soundtracks will be available after you have completed a vacation and they will be selectable only at the Radio Station. I have discovered a total of 18 soundtracks.

Casino ----------------- Gambling is not always a sure-win thing. But you can use it to maximize your earnings in order to purchase those expensive swimsuits for Lisa, Christie and Tina. Before you start to gamble, it is highly advisable to gain some cash. If you lose all your money, you will be forced to return to the Hotel. The casino is only accessible at night from the Hotel menu. Under the casino, it feature the following playable games: - Roulette - Blackjack - Poker - Slot Machine You can switch your chips from 100 Zack Dollars to 10,000 Zack Dollars. You can only bet once for Poker. Bet multiple times to top-up your bettings. Press Cancel (B button) that number of times to quit. Roulette ______________________________________________________________________ The roulette is most toughest to play. You will find your other companions betting on roulette where every character is represented by her own color chip. The color chip is as follows: Kasumi - Pink Leifang - Yellow Tina - Blue Hitomi - Sky Blue Christie - Black Ayane - Purple Helena - White Lisa - Red Only 4 players can play the roulette at one time. You can bet at multiple squares within a time limit. You can view the scoreboard by hitting the (Y) button. Hit (A) and use D-Pad to place your bets. Hit (X) to commence the game. Your objective is guess where the ball will land on the roulette. The roulette is marked with black, red and green. You can choose to bet on odds or evens, columns or evens or even the individual numbers. It is possible to bet on all 38 spots but you will still lose as the odds are at most 36:1... I still need to more research. I would be happy if someone could help me to explain this... Blackjack ______________________________________________________________________ Blackjack is probably the most famous poker related game. Your objective is to draw a set of cards to reach 21 points as close as possible. Rules: - If you get more than 21 points, you will lose your bet. - Banker must draw a card if its total is less than 16 and must stay at 17 and above. - The game will end automatically if the banker gets Blackjack (21) - Aces can be considered as 11 or 1 points. - K, Q, J and 10 are considered as 10-points card Blackjack situations: - Insurance will be prompted when a banker's card shows an Ace and a covered card. If you choose "Yes" 1) Banker's card is 21 - you will not lose any money 2) Banker's card is not 21 - you will lose 1.5x of your bet. If you choose "No" 1) Banker's card is 21 - you lose 1.5x of your bet 2) Banker's card is not 21 - the game resumes - You will get 1.5x of your bet if you hit Blackjack (i.e. a 10-pts card and an ace) Controls (A) Hit - Take another card (B) Stand - Keep the cards that you currently held. (X) Double Down - take an additional card to double your initial bet. Split - if your cards are of the same value. You can have 2 "hands". If the split cards are Aces, you can get only an additional card per Ace. (Y) Surrender - take back half of your bet and give up the game. Mathetically, you can manipulate your winnings with some calcuations. A deck of cards consists of 52 cards. Thus calcuating... Chances of obtaining a card's value is... = 7 or > 7 (4x 7p + 4x 8p + 4x 9p + 4x 10p + 4x J + 4x Q + 4x K) / 52 x 100% = 53.8% 10-value card (4x 10p + 4x J + 4x Q + 4x K)/52 x 100% = 30.7% < 5 (include Aces) (4x 5p + 4x 4p + 4x 3p + 4x 2p + 4x A)/52 x 100% = 30.7% Ace = (4x A )/52 * 100% = 7.69% Calculations < 7 28/52 x 100% = 53.8% < 6 24/52 x 100% = 46.1% < 5 20/52 x 100% = 38.4% < 4 16/52 x 100% = 30.7% < 3 12/52 x 100% = 23.1% < 2 08/52 x 100% = 15.4% The reason for the high probability of drawing a 10-pt card is because of K, Q and J cards considered as 10-pt cards. Thus, there are sixteen 10-pt card as compared to 4 cards of other numbers. It sounds logical that if you get 20, you should not hit as due to low percentage of getting an Ace. Do not hit if you get 17-pts or more as the chances of getting a card higher than 4 is definitely more than 30.7%. If you want to know more about DOAX: Blackjack check out Agent Pliksen's Gamble FAQ, which is also available at GameFAQs Poker ______________________________________________________________________ Poker is a fun game but you can only bet once. You will be issued 5 cards where you need to draw a second time. You are allowed to hold your cards with the (X) button and cards that are not under hold will be swapped with new cards. You will earn money if your cards matches any one of the odds: Hands and Pay Rates ------------------------ Five Cards 50x Flush 5x Royal Straight Flush 30x Straight 4x Straight Flush 20x Three Cards 3x Four Cards 10x Two Pairs 2x Full House 6x Joker 1x If you match any of the above combinations, you will win back your bet amount along with the pay rates. If your cards are combination of the Hands (listed in the chart above), you will be allowed to play a "Double Up" Game. If you got a Joker (Zack), you will be allowed to play the "Joker" Game. Getting the correct match -------------------------- The chances of obtaining good hand such as Royal Straight Flush is *extremely* slim. Your chances are higher if you discarded 3 cards, instead of 2 cards. The chances of getting a better set of cards is higher... Note: If you fail the "double up" or selecting the Joker, you will lose only the original bet. "Double Up" Game If you hit the hands listed on the chart above, you will be given an option whether to "double up" your odds. This is probably best way to earn quick money. "Double Up" will result you to earn the winnings with the odds double. There are a total of 5 cards and open card will be shown with it facing up. Your objective is to choose a card that is higher than the facing card. For example, if the card is 5 of Spades, you need to get 6 and above. Spade of Ace is considered the largest and Joker beats any card on the list. There are at least 1 Joker among the 4 choices and this means the chances of winning the "Double Up" is high. It is 50-50 chance of getting a card higher than the initial card. However, the chances will be lower, as you goes on... "Joker" Game The Joker card game is a simple draw-a-Joker game. Initially, 2 cards will be laid on the table. You need to draw a Joker. Subsequently, there will be 4 cards if you have drawn the Joker in the previous draw. The odds are pretty good as draw the Joker once will double your bet money, twice will win you 2x of your bet money up to a total of 5 wins. It is basically based on your guessing and luck... Slot Machine ______________________________________________________________________ There are total of 8 slot machines (one for each character ^_^:) in the game. The payout rate is different and some them could give you heavy losses if you are unlucky. You can also identify the character's likes from the machines, for example you see butterflies theme in Ayane's slots machine and dolphins in Helena's slots machine Controls: (A) Bet Left Analog Stick - move the camera view. (X) Starts You can view odds on the upper part of the (B) Cancel slot machine. In my opinion, these is the "hardiest to win" form of gambling. All of these based on luck. You need to match three slots according to the score chart to earn money. The odds ranges from 5x to 500x! For example, you bet 100 zack dollars and matches a selection that pays you of odds of 100, you will get 100 x 100 = 100,000 Zack Dollars! But in some of slot machines, there are negative values that could cost you a fortune in losing a lot of money. If no match is made, you will not earned any cash... Slot Machines and their Payout Rates --------------------------------------- (reading from the left...) Legend 3x All slots show this icon Any 2 2 of the slot shows this icon Any 1 1 of the slot shows this icon or The slots show 2 of these icons. (For example: Dagger or Bar. You win if the slots shows 2 daggers and bar or 2 bars and a dagger) * PS: I need help in confirming these names... __________________________________________________________________ | Kasumi Chan | Go!

However, some of the slot machines offer negative odds. If you bet 100 Zack Dollars, you hit an odd that gives -100, you will lose 100,000 Zack Dollars! The most profitable and risky slot machine is Christie's - The Target. It is advisible to set your chips to 100 Z dollars instead of 10,000 Z. If you hit -500 (3 Sixes on Christie's jackpot with 10,000 Z), you will lose 5 million! Recommended machines: All except for Christie, Tina & Ayane ===== 8. Secrets & Hints ----------------- Skip to the Ending ------------------- Once you have completed a 14-day vacation with any character, you will find an additional option appearing at the Hotel menu that says "Leave Tomorrow". By selecting this, it will end the current character's vacation and proceed to the ending. It will applies on Day 2 of that character's current vacation. Complete Ending ---------------- Complete the 14-day vacation with any one of 8 gals. You will be able to view the ending. Wait for the credits to view the aftermath of Zack's Island. Additional Soundtracks ----------------------- Practically, some of the soundtracks are available at various parts of the day. Some of the soundtrack are available in morning while some are only available in evening. You need to enable them with (A) button by visiting the Radio Station. Visor Trick ------------ To have this trick work, you need a transparent visor for the character. The character needs to wear a swimsuit has some sort-of-see through. Go to the Poolside. The character should be lying on the bench. Change the camera view with the L trigger and you should get a view that you will be view through the visor. You will see the character's skin & some stars covering those sensitive parts. Tested Swimsuits: Gimlet, Emu ===== 9.

E-mail Policy / Q & A ------------------------------ E-mail policy -------------- Before you consider e-mailing the author about further questions, please kindly include DOAX or DOAXVB or Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball as your subject than inputing the question as subject line. Q & A ------ 1) Where do I get more information about DOAXVB? Official links for Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball http://www.doaxvb.com (Official website) [flash website] http://www.tecmoinc.com (Tecmo's official website) Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball Game Data - 1 ~ 2 players - Custom Soundtracks - In-game Dolby(R) Control - Exclusive for Xbox - 14 blocks 2) How I get quick money? The best way is win beach volleyball games with large winning margins. Play the hopping game for last 4 days could get you at least 30,000 Z dollars per day if you have mastered that mini- game. Gambling helps but it is rather risky. 3) How do I give the Venus swimsuit to ? You need to play as Lisa as only you can purchase the Venus swimsuit while using her. First of all, you need to pamper the girl with a lot of love gifts. Next get Lisa to partner with that girl. Continue and improve the relationship with a series of "likes" and "love" gifts. Win beach volleyball games and give the swimsuit on the 13th day of the vacation. 4) Is there NUDE or NAKED mode in the game? Absolutely no. This game is rated as Matured. 5) Does the rumoured TOPLESS CODE by Electronic's Gaming Monthly works? It DOES NOT WORK! Practically, it was another joke by the creators of the magazine. I have tested the code out. I have received e-mails regarding this code. According to my readers, the code is said to be done in the following steps:- In order to activate "Topless Mode", you need to finish a vacation with a new saved file under 0:13 by using any other girl except for Lisa. 1) Choose to partner with Lisa. 2) Visit accessory shop as told and exit. 3) Visit unoccupied places where you can view gravure movies. As soon as you enter the gravure movie, choose to exit immediately. 4) In the evening, you will be forced to play a beach volleyball game. Hit START to pause the game and choose to give up. 5) Do not visit the Casino at night and choose "Go to Bed" ASAP. 6) For the remaining days of the vacation, visit unoccupied places to view gravure movies and quickly exit them. Go to bed when your character is back at the hotel during night time. 7) Do this and view the ending credits. View your saved file and it must be under 0:13 to activate the mode. 8) To activate, play a vacation with any character. Hit (Y) on the current swimsuit that the character is wearing. The "W" (wear) symbol will be replaced with "T" (topless). [Thanks to Ryoichi Toraneko & Joe Smith ] To do it under 13 minutes, you can go to the poolside and choose "Take a rest" for a gravure movie. I have did that and get it under 12 minutes for the entire vacation. The (Y) button does not have any impact on the swimsuit inventory screen. I have seen from the message boards at GameFAQs that you need to do it twice and save the second time on a memory card. Thus apparently is FALSE as you cannot save the file on the memory card. All saves have to be done in the console itself! Once again, I would like to repeat the code does not work and it is NOT A REAL CODE! By the way, do not trust the screenshots too much as they can be edited. I believe it is another APRIL'S FOOLS JOKE from Electronic's Gaming Monthly (EGM) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Last Updated: 2 March 2003 Current Version: 1.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Copyright of Scott Ong 2003
