Outlaw Volleyball
Overall: Arcade/Simulation Volleyball with the most outrageous characters to play the game! Hypnotix is quickly becoming a force in the game industry by creating unique sports games that will appeal to hardcore, moderate, and occasional gamers.Gameplay: Gameplay is solid. Takes a few to get used to. The ability to control bumps and spikes is great. You can decide exactly where do aim the bump or spike. Turbo and Turbo moves are well implemented and actual become very vital to your success on the tour (single player mode) and on XBL (OHH YEAH). Of course beating your opponent and stealing their composure is much fun. The humor is awesome, they manage to push the humor found in Outlaw Golf to the next level. I had to watch the tutorials several times as they are extremely comical.
You can build your characters by running thru drills. It also helps to improve your skills. The game features several game modes, Exhibition, Tour, and Random play. Random play is good for practicing without messing up your tour stats.
XBL rules baby.. On XBL you can play best of 3, single games and many more. You can also choose to play rally rules or side out rules (must serve to score point). The usual goodies are included, stats, friends, match making, etc.
Graphics: Note: I play in HDTV with a 17 inch LCD Display using a HDTV to VGA adapter. Graphics quality is better than TV (NON HDTV). I only say this so their is no argument about comments regarding graphics.
Graphics are much improved from Outlaw Golf. The use of bump mapping on characters models is astounding. For instance Shawnee tan skin looks very real, displaying texture. Leon's skin texture and muscle definition is very good. AA is used in most in-game cut scenes and Gameplay. Everything from the sand (which can be kicked up when running) to the details in all environments is very up to XBOX standards. Job well done.
Audio: Sound is nothing great, the usual 5.1 support plus the game features awesome commentary from Steve Carell from the Daily Show. His game commentary is now legendary. Bringing hours of enjoyment to the game. As expected, soundtracks are supported, YES!
Suggestions: I am not going to nag.. This game is very good. I will think later on improvements. For the meantime, I am going to enjoy the game.
Overall Score: 10.0 / 10
