Launch Window“Spike Volleyball is a great game when it comes to playing volleyball on your pc or console, but generally it's a bug fest that oversimplifies quite good sport.”

Launch Window“Spike volleyball has a solid core and some great gameplay mechanics but the whole thing is let down by poor animation and lacklustre presentation.”

Launch Window“So this is game that had some lofty ideas of what it could have been and delivered a broken slodge of a simulator, devoid of anything that can be considered worthy of its utterly disgraceful price-tag. It’s clear the developers did what they could with a seemingly small budget and little time but this just isn’t good enough.”

Launch Window“Spike Volleyball has serious problems. We've experienced bugs, graphical glitches and poor AI every single time we played. It also lacks in options, with a really poor Career Mode.”

Launch Window“If Spike Volleyball is not a very realistic simulation of volleyball, we can not say that the bet is completely missed. A game that could please the true fans of this sport...”

Launch Window“Spike Volleyball's gameplay loop isn't atrocious, but poor animations and ugly visuals demonstrate the low-budget nature of the project. With glitchy online play and a rudimentary career mode, it's extremely difficult to recommend this release – especially when you consider that it's retailing at a price point five times greater than what it realistically deserves.”

Launch Window“I’ve heard the term ‘floater’ used in Volleyball before and well I could quite easily see that term fitting adequately here (although I’m sure in the sport it has a different meaning). There is very little here that deserves praising and the whole package feels like a rush job. For a full price title I’ve come to expect a certain level of quality and they seem to have left it in the locker room with Spike Volleyball. I’m sure it will have its fans, and after enough beer with a few friends it may be something to put on for a laugh, but other than that, my recommendation is ‘STAY AWAY’”
