My newest APPdiction
Found this while looking for games during the XXX Olympiad.
Okay ill 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 dont make it easy either. Dont 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.
Ive been caught several times violently and fruitlessly gesticulating my iPhone while trying to dig out a save from a nasty spike.
Theres tournament play and a decent amount of teams to choose from.
Also a globes worth of locations to choose from, but you really wont 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, theyre 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.
