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. I bought this game at a pawn shop and it was the best money I've spent in weeks. I am not a 'gamer', but this game is as addictive as it is fun. The game is taking me a while to learn and at times can become frustrating. My favorite character is Lizzy, the punk rocker from London. He is hilarious. AWESOME.
Even the ladies have El Suave, a Mexican beefcake who looks a lot like Jesus. 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. 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.
All of the charatcers I have seen so far are fun, imaginative, and enjoyable. To give the females BIGGER breasts, the code is hold the left trigger while executing B, up, up, B, Y. She's sassy, trashy, and has a REAL bad attitude.
Do this before the ball is served. I've only had this game for two days, but already I can tell it is hard to put down once you start. I even learned an insane code.
Maybe the unofficial star of this whole game is the anouncer.
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. 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. It's well worth it. 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. 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. One of the girls said in the game "you can blink now" and i know i was caught.
But then there's what I wasn't expecting- a few bits of animal abuse. Yes, Jenny Jones- it's that bad. And I like rap and all, but that's just silly. The game isn't -that- hickish when you read the back of the box. ie- all the girls will do the same moves during player reactions. In fact, there's only 2 hicks in the whole game and they're kinda tame. Fortunately the character voices are good. It's that simple.
They play differently though, it's just the animations. But that's what the Drill mode is for. 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). 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. And you can clearly see the renderings of nipples through bikinis here and there. 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.
If you just hit the ball over the net and expect to win, it ain't gonna happen. 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. Even worse if said band sounds better than you. That's what the "retry" feature's for. I always laugh when Doe Joe goes "MOICHIRO." when hitting the ball. 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). Graphically, OV is pretty good.
Not game music, music in general. 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. And if he starts to annoy you, just turn the "Announcer" down on the audio options menu. Women constantly bounce around, even if they're just talking. It's terrible.
It's a solid sport game, and you don't have to be into the sport to enjoy it. Some of the bands sound like wanan-be New Found Glory, which is already shameful if you sound like them. A big tip I can give you though is that teamwork is essential. 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. There's one line in a rap that goes "Gangstas bangin' in tha streets".
As for the sound.I hope you have a few custom soundtracks saved on your Xbox, because you'll be using them, a lot. 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). 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. 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. Some of the things he says are pretty funny though. 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. 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 there's even some ass-rap.
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). Heck, I've never played a volleyball game in my life and I'm loving every minute of this. The main reason I purchased Outlaw Volleyball was because it's now out of print and getting harder to find. 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. Tour is the main game- going through different locations with your own 2-person team and winning tournaments. All of the characters have nice designs though.
Plus his Elvis impression isn't so bad. Most of it is ponk (my own word I use for "pop/punk"), only heavily rejected. That irked me so bad.oh well. The timer often slows down or speeds up when it feels like it. One of the players bites the head off a bat ala Ozzy, then chokes on it. 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.
Don't think that this is easy though, because the AI is very accurate. It has an amazing amount of depth for "just a volleyball game". She sounds like a rejected Jenny Jones guest. But they're all based on the same model.
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 sexual content never gets too out of control. It'll make things much easier. This is especially apparent during matches with "Hot Potato" rules. And no, there isn't mass blood during the bat part. Upon playing just one match of Outlaw Volleyball, I was hooked. As for actual content, there isn't that much dirty language, but there are pleanty of suggestive themes.
It's fun, challenging, and has a good amount of replay. You'll get the hang of it though. Plus you can give them different outfits as you complete the drills. Those were completely unexpected but nothing too bad. Get this while you can. You can pick from a few different play modes- tour, exhibition, random, and online. I'm glad I got Outlaw Volleyball.
The drills are usually a little challenging. If you run forward or back, it kinda goes through her, reavealing her lower rear. And I highly reccomend you view the first tutorial for the game before any actual gameplay. I got my ass handed to me for 3 games when I first started, then I saw the tutorial and started winning. 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. These games have a bomb set in the ball, and it explodes once the meter in the upper left hand corner goes up. OV has some of the worst music I've ever heard in my life.
Asses shake like a Bill Cosby Jell-o Jiggler commercial.
This is a great sports game to play by yourself or with others. BUY THIS GAME. Two words that sum up this game- HELL YEAH. If you don't like i'll buy it from you. Controls took about an hour or so to really master but the game play is extermely smooth. Quite possibly the best looking computer animation on the face of gaming planet. The drills to boost stats get really frustrating butimprove you skills dramaticaly. And then there is Summer.
In conclusion this is a great game and despite the fact that Live doesnt really work all that well the game stands alone great. By the way my game never froze up on me and I have no idea what the other reviewer is talking about. (You constantly learn new techniques throughout the game). 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. I think it is a great game that focuses alot more on volleyball than DOA did. The mini games are a nice touch to get your skills up and trying to get new characters keeps you wanting to play on. In fact after learning the basics of DOA you could just look at the actual gameplay as a needless show to get more items. Graphics-5 stars.
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. Fun-4 stars. Replayability- 4stars. I think this is a great game and I may be partial because I loved Outlaw Golf as well.
learning curve about 2 hours. I personally think this was a great game. I judge a game by how many times I curse at it. The game flows well and I havent tried to use any cheats because that would ruin all of the fun.
It is challenging from the beginning and continually becomes more challenging.
