So, I’ve been getting into this whole volleyball game thing on PlayStation, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a wild ride. I figured, why not share my little adventure with you all? Might save someone a headache or two.
First off, I started looking around to see what volleyball games were even out there for the PlayStation. I mean, you’d think there would be a ton, right? Turns out, it’s not as many as you’d expect. I read somewhere online that there are “plenty of notable volleyball video games,” but honestly, the pickings felt a bit slim when I really started digging.
Finding the Games
- I hit up a few websites that listed out the volleyball games available for PS4. The lists were decent enough. One even said, “Find the best Playstation 4 Volleyball games in our list,” which, you know, sounded promising.
- I noticed one game kept popping up called “Spike Volleyball.” Apparently, it’s one of the newer ones and has “solid graphics.” Sounded good to me, so I decided to give it a shot.
Giving It a Go
Downloading and setting it up was no big deal. Booted it up, and yeah, the graphics were pretty decent. I was getting excited to actually play, thinking about all the “fun bumping, setting” that those online articles talked about.
- Gameplay Time: I jumped into a quick match to get a feel for it. The controls took a bit of getting used to, not gonna lie. I was fumbling around, trying to figure out how to serve properly, how to set up a good spike, the whole nine yards.
- Getting the Hang of It: After a few matches, I started to get the hang of the basics. I won’t say I was great, but I was definitely improving. It was kinda cool seeing my little virtual team starting to work together.
The Not-So-Great Parts
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing. I ran into a few things that were kind of a bummer. One time, the game just froze up on me mid-match. Had to restart the whole thing. And then there were these weird graphical glitches, like players kinda disappearing for a second or the ball doing this weird teleport thing. It definitely took me out of the experience.
- Career Mode: I thought I’d try out the Career Mode to see if that was any better. Spoiler: it wasn’t. It felt pretty bare-bones, not a lot of depth to it. I was hoping for something a bit more, you know?
- AI Acting Up: Oh, and the AI? Don’t even get me started. Sometimes my teammates would just stand there, looking all confused, while the other team scored an easy point. Super frustrating.
So, yeah, that’s pretty much my experience diving into volleyball games on the PlayStation. I tried to keep things simple, focused on what I did, what happened, and how it all went down. It’s not exactly a glowing recommendation for “Spike Volleyball,” to be honest. But hey, it wasn’t all bad. I did have some fun with it, especially when things were working right. And I guess that’s what counts, right? If you’re a huge volleyball fan, maybe you’ll get a kick out of it. Just be ready for a few bumps along the way.
