Slot Paradise Beach — Game Review

Paradise Reels Slot Review

Guns N Roses may want to go to the Paradise City, but Wink Bingo can only take you as far as the seaside for their Paradise Reels. This is 9 line, 5 reel slot from the Eyecon Games stable that takes you to sunnier climes, warm seas and sandy beaches! But will you be in paradise from spinning these reels or is this slot a holiday from hell?

As is typical with many of the older Eyecon Games, Paradise Reels slot has an «old school» on the pier slot feel to it. The graphics are colourful and blocky. There’s none of your Superheroes or fancy imagery either — just good old fashioned playing card and fruit symbols of fruit machines gone by. Throw in a couple of Wilds and Bonus Coconuts and it’s all good by the beach fun.

Coconut Bonus Round

There are the usual options too — stake anything from 1p to �5 per line (minimum play is 1p up to a maximum wager of �45 a spin). You can play 1 to 9 lines. There’s an Auto Spin feature just in case you’re too busy enjoying your Pina Colada to click a button every now and then. Top prize is x5000 your coin size. This comes surprisingly for getting five Aces across the reels! The fruit symbols of melon, orange and cherry are the lower paying icons for this particular game.

A bonus round is activated when three or more adjacent bonus symbols appear on the reel. You can spot the bonus symbols as they’re big cyan coloured squares with the word ‘Bonus’ on them. No expense was spared in the development of Paradise Reels. During the bonus section you are invited to click the coconuts and reveal winning cash values! To be fair the bonus round is the biggest disappointment of Paradise Reels. You only win the highest value coconut and not the value behind each one.

Our Verdict

It’s safe to say that Paradise Reels, is more Worthing seaside arcade (not the one that banned me back in the late 80s though) than a sunny paradise island or even Las Vegas. The game is incredibly basic and limited in depth. However that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy spinning the reels. It’s safely in the same stable as Fluffy and co so that means a lot of fun with minimum effort!

That said it does feel dated and although it’s available on mobile, tablet and desktop slot players may want to look elsewhere for «paradise». Paradise Reels has a RTP of 93.7%. You can find this game at all Dragonfish sites and Jumpman Slot brands.

Dead or Alive Paradise

Dead or Alive Paradise (Japanese: デッドオアアライブパラダイス , Hepburn: Deddo oa araibu paradaisu ) is a 2010 video game developed by Project Venus and published by Tecmo Koei for the PlayStation Portable as part of the Dead or Alive series. It is a PSP port of Dead or Alive Xtreme 2 for the Xbox 360, [1] expanding upon the activities available in the original which consisted of mainly beach-related minigames.

It was the first game in the series to be released for the portable game system, as well as the first release from the series since the departure of series’ creator Tomonobu Itagaki. The game was met with mostly mixed-to-negative critical reception.

Gameplay [ edit ]

Hitomi in the poolhopping minigame

Players start the game at the getaway resort, New Zack Island, as part of a two-week vacation. The island is inhabited mostly by the swimsuit-clad girls from the Dead or Alive series. [2] The game has several gameplay aspects, featured most prominently is the beach volleyball minigame similar to Dead or Alive Xtreme 2. The other minigames include pool games like swimming pool hopping and butt battles as well as casino games like poker, blackjack and slots. [3] The second aspect of the game consists of interacting with the girls by mingling with them, giving them presents such as new swimwear. [4] The third aspect is to purchase a camera from the Island Shop and take photographs of the girls which can then be assembled into an album. [4] Once the relationship with the girls is on an intimate level, the girls would then present the player with «venus clips» which can be viewed and edited by the player. [2] A code was also discovered in the game dubbed «Emperor’s New Clothes», which allowed the player to have the girls nude, although certain inappropriate parts are not shown. [5]

Characters [ edit ]

The game features mostly playable characters from the Dead or Alive series: Ayane, Christie, Helena, Hitomi, Kasumi, Kokoro, Leifang, Lisa, and Tina. The additional girl, Rio, is a guest character who appears from a series of pachislot titles by Tecmo, adapted from the Rakushou! Pachi-Slot Sengen series of video games and an anime series Rio: Rainbow Gate!, released after this game. [4]

Development and release [ edit ]

Dead or Alive Paradise promo booth at Tokyo Game Show 2006

The previous team leader of Team Ninja, Tomonobu Itagaki had previously expressed interest in bringing the Dead or Alive Xtreme series to handhelds such as the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable in 2004. The game was first revealed in Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu in December 2009. [4] A North American release was announced a month later in January 2010. [2] Paradise is the first game in the series not to be developed by Team Ninja. Regarding Dead or Alive Xtreme 3, when questioned about it, Team Ninja’s Yosuke Hayashi implied that he would consider making Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 if people stated their support for it on Team Ninja’s official Twitter account. [6]

On March 11, 2010, a DRM-free demo version was released on the Japanese PlayStation Store, and then distributed by Japanese website 4Gamer and other web sites. The demo features a sample of the game’s Gravure Mode, where the player chooses a character, a swimsuit and a situation to take photos. In the demo, Hitomi is the only available character, with two bikinis and three situations. Unlike in the full version, the pictures cannot be saved in the demo. [7] The demo can currently be downloaded on PSP demo specialized web sites, as well as in the game’s official Japanese website. [8]

The game was released in all regions during March and April 2010. [1] In Japan, Dead or Alive Paradise had on its release, other than the stand-alone game, two different bundles: one costing ¥7,329 and the other costing ¥15,729. The first comes with a secret photo album, a soundtrack CD, an original Kasumi box cover and the game. The second one is bundled with all that plus a Kasumi figurine, which wears two different swimsuits. [9]

Reception [ edit ]

Reception

Dead or Alive Paradise has received generally mixed-to-negative reviews, resulting in a Metacritic score of only 38/100. [10] Scott Jones and Victor Lucas from Reviews on the Run both gave the game a 0.0/10 rating saying the best word to describe the game is «pathetic». On the other hand, GamesRadar gave it a relatively high score of 7/10 saying on its verdict that it is «overall fun and deceptively deep.» [15]

Controversy [ edit ]

The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) classification has described Dead or Alive Paradise as filled with «creepy voyeurism» and «bizarre, misguided notions of what women really want.» [16] The original text was rewritten later and ESRB apologized saying the first post was posted «in error», considering it «improperly» and filled with «subjective language.» [16] Producer Yoshinori Ueda said that the game is not supposed to be softcore pornography, neither degrading towards women. [17] However, art director Yasushi Nakamura also implied that if fans did masturbate to the series, Team Ninja «could consider that a success». He also said that Paradise was an effort to restart making the Dead or Alive series, as well as to broaden its appeal. [18]
