Outlaw Volleyball: The wildest volleyball game ever
Outlaw Volleyball is the second game in Simon & Schuster’s growing Outlaw franchise, following Outlaw Golf. As the title suggests, you play various games of volleyball with shady and dirty characters, from a slutty biker to an ex con to a pair of strippers. There are sixteen players in total, each with his or her own unique personality, strengths, and weaknesses.
The game features four different modes: Exhibition, Tour, Drills, and Xbox Live. Exhibition is a standard volleyball game, while Tour is the career mode that spans fifty different events. Drills are practice games that award points you can use to improve your player’s abilities. Xbox Live allows you to play with people over the Xbox Live service.
There are ten different courts to play on, each with its own unique backgrounds and animations. You can play on a beach, at a carnival, or even in a prison.
One of the things that makes Outlaw Volleyball so unique is its “momentum” feature. This allows you to earn “beating tokens” that you can spend on beating up the other team. If you are doing lousy, beating up a member of the other team refills your momentum meter, allowing you to come back and possibly win.
Outlaw Volleyball was released on Xbox in 2003 and was met with positive reviews. Critics praised the game’s unique characters, over-the-top gameplay, and excellent graphics. The game was also a commercial success, selling over 1 million copies worldwide.
Gameplay
Outlaw Volleyball is played like a standard game of volleyball, with two teams of six players facing off on a court. The object of the game is to score points by hitting the ball over the net and into the other team’s court. Players can use a variety of moves to hit the ball, including spikes, blocks, and digs.
The game’s momentum feature adds an extra layer of strategy to the gameplay. Players can earn beating tokens by performing well, and these tokens can be spent on a variety of power-ups, such as increased speed, power, or accuracy. Players can also use their tokens to beat up members of the other team, which can temporarily disable them or even knock them out of the game.
