Over The Net Beach Volleyball

Plays just like the old "Kings of the Beach" game from the 80's--but the touch response doesn't always work. In addition the players sometimes run into one another and lock up your function so you can't play. Fix those two minor issues and its a great game. It would also be nice to customize your player, not just your team (to better tell which player is you).

Fun game overall...

The jump button does not work consistently. Please fix. I love this app! It's one of my faves and now it's going down... ;-(

Found this while looking for games during the XXX Olympiad. Okay i'll admit, i first got hooked on beach volleyball during the Beijing Olympics because of the teeny weenie bikinis worn by the female teams ;-) Much better than the other app offerings for making me feel like i was competing in the real games. No medals to be had for winning and quite frustrating in the beginning to get the timing right for serves and spikes. The tiny graphics don't make it easy either. Don't have any iPad so not sure how the graphics translate to a larger screen. Even though there is no tilt screen function required as part of the controls, this is one of those games that people will notice u r playing. I've been caught several times violently and fruitlessly gesticulating my iPhone while trying to dig out a save from a nasty spike. There's tournament play and a decent amount of teams to choose from. Also a globe's worth of locations to choose from, but you really won't notice the difference during gameplay. Minuses, the virtual pad joy stick is not really sensitive enough to adequately move u around the tiny playing field, but you can disable it (that function may work better on the iPad). BIGGEST PLUS, the female teams wear bikinis :-) BIGGEST MINUS, they're NOT TEENY WEENY :-( The hallmark of any great app, once get the hang of what ur doing and the timing, you may find the challenging nature of this game more than slightly addicting.

A decent volleyball game. In fact right now its probably the best one available in the store mainly because there aren't that many. The game is fun to play and kind of addicting once you get used to the controls. You can choose to manually move your player(s) with a joystick or choose an automatic movement option where the computer moves the player to the ball for you. I prefer the manual option. The player movement is pretty good overall, your player can move in any direction. In the game there is a ball indicator and shadow to track the ball movement which is useful for positioning your player right. The game has a decent amount of gameplay/setup options and 3 modes... practice, single game, and world tour. So the content is there and its fun enough to play. If I had any complaints I would say the animations could be a little better and the size of the graphics could be made slightly bigger. But overall its a worthwhile volleyball game for $2.
