If you like in court (6 vs 6) volleyball you will definitively enjoy this game. There is no doubt that there are lots of room for improvement but the truth is that there aren't many other volleyball video games in the market (if there is another) and this game brings most of the sport into the modern consoles. I haven't play any tournaments or championships yet so I can't judge anything about that mode and my review will be focus on game play. You can create new players but I haven't try that either. At first you will struggle a bit getting used to the controls but after a short while you will get over them and use the decent variation of attacking combinations. Offensively, the game does a good job of resembling the sport but in the defensive side it falls a little short. Unfortunately, there aren't any deepening tutorials or manuals explaining the different combination so you will have to figure out by trying all of them. There are different service styles you can use.

There are only a few defensive alternatives for the blockers but none for the placing of back court players. Players do dive for the ball but they lack alternatives to defend any play after the ball is touched by blockers. The game camera play some tricks from time to time by not shifting quick enough from the service camera to the selected camera but this is not an every play pattern. I recommend using the second camera angle which is at intermediate distance and allows good offensive playing and attacking angles. The sound is very disappointing, the commentary lines are few, dull, boring and repetitive but this isn't a music game. Net physics are lost here, the net acts like a still wood fence. There are many options in terms of # of sets, points and even the old sideout rules. Graphics are ok considering this is a PS2 game but this title is not for the graphics. In the end, if you are a volleyball fan you will find enough elements here to keep you interested, if you don't like volleyball or you are to obsessed with graphics the chances are you will hate this game. Unfortunately, the reviews around the net are very low (most reviewers seem to be obsessed with graphs and guns of the nauseating repetitive first person shooters) and it seems like no newer version will be coming. A sequel would have been great given that the title has most of the sport elements covered.

It was a game I expected more of it. Hte graphics are cool but the game itself did not pass my approval. It was hard to control the players, and It was always doing the same thing . You Bump and Pass it, and then you try to control who kill it and sometimes it goes so quick that you press one player it goes to another one.

This is the worst game I have ever played. You get two players that move in unison, so you can't set them up individually. Also, the controls are very difficult...you may get lucky if you continuously press the control, but then you are so busy pressing the controls, that you can't move your players. Also, picture quality is terrible. We had to stand right up to the TV to see the players.

This is a wonderful game for those who love to play volleyball. This game was ordered for my niece whose team became champion in an area of Puerto Rico.

I am a volleyball player. Although the game is fun, it is easier to play the real game than the PS2 game! I think the controls are kind of hard to deal with; it is easier to play basketball or soccer. The designers should do a better job next time!

it is a pretty cool game... its great. just sometimes the players run to slow... and you can hit. and tip the 2nd ball as a setter but i mean there isnt much variation that can be played... when hitting i dont know how to aim to different spots.. if u can... and when trying to get loose balls they do a one hand thing to get it back..

so there's passers who run to slow, try to get shanked balls with one hand, dive, and dive after the ball hits the floor

of course not soo accurate

but its alright .. once in a while.
not tooo addicting...

I brought this game and couldn't even play it in my system. I didn't understand why because the game was brand new with no scratches whatsoever. The game looks like it might be fun, but I won't ever be able to tell because I can't even play it. There are variety of languages on it which makes it a little confusing and may be the cause why it didn't play. I felt terrible because I paid 3.75 on this game pluse 3.99 for shipping. It's wasn't fair. I am recently now trying to return it to get a refund. Just for safe purposes, I suggest nobody buy it because you just might spend money for nothing.Womens Volleyball Championship
