The rest of the things you can do from tug-of-war to gambling are like dumbed-down versions of volleyball and water-skiing, which I didn’t think was really possible. Essentially unless you’re a big fan of randomly picking options and hoping they’re better than your computer opponent’s then you’re better of never touching any of them. Thankfully though, none of these travesties to gaming can be played online.


If only it controlled like Waverace...

Although the two main staples can and all I can say is wow. Wow at the lag, wow at the lack of bringing your characters online, and wow how crappy these two mini-games truly are. Isn’t it kind of ridiculous that the entire offline game is about collecting stuff and then you can’t show it off online? Well at least you can play some broken volleyball or crash into a beach on a jet ski without knowing it for a couple seconds. Next-gen is here!


Hey, I know lets make volleyball frustrating and hard!
From the reused animations and gameplay mechanics, to the god-awful gameplay changes, and finally to the worthless new mini-games, DOAX2 is a steaming pile of Team Ninja excrement. Do not buy this game or recommend it to anyone unless you really hate them.

• Decent graphics

• Everything else
