Outlaw Volleyball (Xbox) Reviews
From Joe Doe, the Japanese Elvis Fan, to the hot Russian babe with the machine gun, there are a lot of laughs and plenty of eye candy. He is hilarious. I've only had this game for two days, but already I can tell it is hard to put down once you start. She's sassy, trashy, and has a REAL bad attitude. Even the ladies have El Suave, a Mexican beefcake who looks a lot like Jesus. I am not a 'gamer', but this game is as addictive as it is fun.
My favorite character is Lizzy, the punk rocker from London. All of the charatcers I have seen so far are fun, imaginative, and enjoyable. AWESOME. Maybe the unofficial star of this whole game is the anouncer. To give the females BIGGER breasts, the code is hold the left trigger while executing B, up, up, B, Y. If you continue to get frustrated at a player, simply hit the white button before a serve and beat them mercilessly stealing some mojo while you are at it.
I bought this game at a pawn shop and it was the best money I've spent in weeks. I even learned an insane code. The game is taking me a while to learn and at times can become frustrating. Do this before the ball is served. But when you have exploding volleyballs and dynamite placed in the playing area, you are bound lose some points that normally you would have won, but then again this is OUTLAW volleyball.
Probably shouldn't be played by your kids because some of the gestures but a mature adult will love what is shown. This is an extremely fun game to own. It's well worth it. I was torn between "Dead or Alive, Extreme Beach Volleyball" but i decided to go with this one because it has more volleyball orientation rather then eye candy. If you're a volleyball fan or just want a game to have around so you and your friends can play, this is the one. One of the girls said in the game "you can blink now" and i know i was caught. There's enough eye candy in this one to satisfy a persons needs, plus the game play is awesome and you contantly learn new technique's.
There's one where you have to bunt the ball and hit targets of "bad guys" (thugs or muggers) while not hitting innocent ones (moms holding their babies, nuns, a boy scout). Asses shake like a Bill Cosby Jell-o Jiggler commercial. All of the characters have nice designs though. So if you keep running back and forth, it looks like she's gone bottomless.as I realize that a few people will buy this for that reason alone. It's that simple. As for actual content, there isn't that much dirty language, but there are pleanty of suggestive themes.
It's terrible. If you just hit the ball over the net and expect to win, it ain't gonna happen. Don't think that this is easy though, because the AI is very accurate. It'll make things much easier. Some of the things he says are pretty funny though. There were times when I go "oh there's no way they're going to make that shot", and they somehow pull off a shot and beat me 12-3.
This is especially apparent during matches with "Hot Potato" rules. You'll get the hang of it though. OV has some of the worst music I've ever heard in my life. Though I had read a lot of good things about it, I figured it'd be nice to have a sports game in my Xbox library for once.
So passing the ball over to your partner could give you more time with the ball and raise your chance of bunting it over just in time so it explodes on them. Fortunately the character voices are good. I got my ass handed to me for 3 games when I first started, then I saw the tutorial and started winning. Heck, I've never played a volleyball game in my life and I'm loving every minute of this. And I like rap and all, but that's just silly. But they're all based on the same model.
And there's even some ass-rap. Plus you can give them different outfits as you complete the drills. I'll admit- I'm a sucker for animals and get upset when I see them mistreated, but it's used for the sake of comedy here. The game isn't -that- hickish when you read the back of the box. And no, there isn't mass blood during the bat part. Those were completely unexpected but nothing too bad. It's fun, challenging, and has a good amount of replay. These games have a bomb set in the ball, and it explodes once the meter in the upper left hand corner goes up.
A big tip I can give you though is that teamwork is essential. And if he starts to annoy you, just turn the "Announcer" down on the audio options menu. If you're getting this game for your kid or something and are worried about the Mature rating for some reason, well, there's more than you should expect. That irked me so bad.oh well. Tour is the main game- going through different locations with your own 2-person team and winning tournaments. It doesn't look like it could only run on the Xbox, but it has smooth character models that would look jaggy on the ps2. Graphically, OV is pretty good. Plus his Elvis impression isn't so bad.
One of the female players- Summer, is also a stripper (though she does no actual stripping in the game) and tends to give the referee lap dances in between plays. Unlocking all the characters, beating each tour match, and getting maximum stats should last you a while, and when you're done- there's always online play to take care of. Women constantly bounce around, even if they're just talking. The drills are usually a little challenging. The only voice that they screwed up on was Chica- a latina with "an attitude" (c'mon, you saw that one coming 5 miles away). In fact, there's only 2 hicks in the whole game and they're kinda tame.
Not game music, music in general. You'd think that it'd be easy to ignore, and you can time it just right to pass over to the other side so it explodes on them (earning you a point), but it's not. And one of the girls seems to love kicking a baby seal if she loses a point (how the seal follows her into a sewer stage is beyond me). Most of it is ponk (my own word I use for "pop/punk"), only heavily rejected. As for the sound.I hope you have a few custom soundtracks saved on your Xbox, because you'll be using them, a lot.
But then there's what I wasn't expecting- a few bits of animal abuse. I always laugh when Doe Joe goes "MOICHIRO." when hitting the ball. It has an amazing amount of depth for "just a volleyball game". The timer often slows down or speeds up when it feels like it. And I highly reccomend you view the first tutorial for the game before any actual gameplay.
It's a solid sport game, and you don't have to be into the sport to enjoy it. The sexual content never gets too out of control. But that's what the Drill mode is for. You can pick from a few different play modes- tour, exhibition, random, and online.
Some of the bands sound like wanan-be New Found Glory, which is already shameful if you sound like them. Upon playing just one match of Outlaw Volleyball, I was hooked. They play differently though, it's just the animations. That's what the "retry" feature's for. The announcer is Steve Carell from The Daily Show, and like a few other review sites said- he would've been funnier had he provided his own lines and not what he was reading.
If you run forward or back, it kinda goes through her, reavealing her lower rear. There's one line in a rap that goes "Gangstas bangin' in tha streets". And so help you god if you hit one of the bad guy targets and the ball bounces off it and hits an innocent one. She sounds like a rejected Jenny Jones guest. One of the players bites the head off a bat ala Ozzy, then chokes on it. Even worse if said band sounds better than you. Yes, Jenny Jones- it's that bad.
Get this while you can. I'm glad I got Outlaw Volleyball. ie- all the girls will do the same moves during player reactions. The only time I noticed any slowdown was during character intros and when you win a match- when tons of action is going on in the background.There is a funny little graphic "mistake" though- when playing as Shawnee (a native American girl), there's a slight problem with her loincloth. And you can clearly see the renderings of nipples through bikinis here and there. The main reason I purchased Outlaw Volleyball was because it's now out of print and getting harder to find. I thought I'd mention that.
This is where you practice aiming, serving, blocking, everything, and earn points to raise the stats of your characters (offense, defense, power and speed).
Quite possibly the best looking computer animation on the face of gaming planet. Controls took about an hour or so to really master but the game play is extermely smooth. BUY THIS GAME. Two words that sum up this game- HELL YEAH. And then there is Summer. If you don't like i'll buy it from you. The drills to boost stats get really frustrating butimprove you skills dramaticaly. This is a great sports game to play by yourself or with others.
I think it is a great game that focuses alot more on volleyball than DOA did. (You constantly learn new techniques throughout the game). In fact after learning the basics of DOA you could just look at the actual gameplay as a needless show to get more items. learning curve about 2 hours. By the way my game never froze up on me and I have no idea what the other reviewer is talking about. The game flows well and I havent tried to use any cheats because that would ruin all of the fun. I judge a game by how many times I curse at it.
Replayability- 4stars. I personally think this was a great game.
I cursed a lot trying to master the moves and you must account for the fact that your team mate is not as good as the AI for the other team. The mini games are a nice touch to get your skills up and trying to get new characters keeps you wanting to play on.
I think this is a great game and I may be partial because I loved Outlaw Golf as well. It is challenging from the beginning and continually becomes more challenging.
In conclusion this is a great game and despite the fact that Live doesnt really work all that well the game stands alone great. Your team mate will constantly make you mad until you realize you dont have to set her you can hit all the time on the second shot.
Fun-4 stars. Graphics-5 stars.
