The casual pace of real volleyball has been replaced by intense action featuring play techniques and maneuvers that bring together a tremendous amount of strategy and timing! A highly involving entry that requires some patience, but delivers a nice payoff! Rhon Manlapaz of Glendale, California, has sent us a way to perform some serves not mentioned in the instruction manual. These can be performed on both versions of the game. Thanks for the great Easter eggs, Rhon.
To perform a lightning serve, press and hold U and II, then press I to toss the ball in the air. Now press and hold D and II, then press I to hit the ball when it turns red. To serve the ball to the baseline, press and hold L and II, then press I to toss the ball in the air.
Now press and hold both R and II, then press I to hit the ball when it turns red. To serve the ball just off the ten-foot line, press and hold L and II, then press I to toss the ball in the air. Continue to hold the buttons down, and then press I again to hit the ball when it turns red.
To perform the same serves except the lightning serve as jump serves, press and hold R and II instead of pressing and holding L and II. To get the super spike, press and hold U, I and II as your player is about to receive the ball. Then press and hold D, I and II as your setter is about to touch the ball. If this is done correctly, the spiker will be glowing when he spikes the ball. The opposing player that is hit will be rendered helpless for a few seconds. The codes are for the U. Thanks for the eggs, Lynn.
The latest version of this old Genesis title will soon be re-released. Use your sets, spikes, bunts, and other moves to trash the other players so that you can take the title. Jumping, diving, setting, and spiking their way through the smoke filled haze of a packed auditorium, the world's finest volleyball players push both mind and body to the limit as they vie for the number one position -- world champions.
This compelling and realistic side-view game for one a two players comes complete with a generous list of play-options and 16 international teams. If you prefer, design your own team and assign each player a specialty, such as a powerful serve or spike.
Choose between the Watch Mode, a Normal game, or a World League game, the latter being the most difficult. Don't worry if you're a volleyball novice. Simply head to the option screen and take advantage of the Ball Speed and Handicap features. Use the Handicap feature to start either one or both teams off with a lead 10 points max. The Ball Speed feature slow, normal, or fast is a handy option when you need to tone down the action during warm-up.
During a game you have six players on the court you only actually see five and two players on the bench. To substitute a stronger player into the game simply press Button C. Don't hit the ball until it turns pink or you'll miss it and lose the serve to your opponents. A net-player will automatically set the ball up for a return play, but you make the return spikes. As in real life competitive volleyball, the winning score is set at In order to win a game you must win three of the five Match-Sets.
In the Normal setting you can play in single game rounds. Win and you go on to play another team. In the World League you complete seven games and, game-play stats determine the champions. Fortunately in the World League setting you can earn passwords.
Super Volleyball is a highly accurate simulation of top-notch, competitive volleyball, and the action is fast and furious. It would, however, be even better if the Center player moved faster and, also, if the entire court could be seen during service rather than just one side at a time. Overall these are two minor glitches which shouldn't dissuade you from getting your hands on this game -- it's worth it!
The latest and improved version of the hit cart Super Volleyball will soon be back on the Genesis. Use your spikes, sets, bumps, and other agile movements to work your way through the championships and end up with the trophy. Choose your team out of a number of different foreign teams that have many different strengths and weaknesses.
Have a friend over and compete with them for more added fun. This game gets a couple of strikes right out of the game. First, the theme is not exactly at the top of anyone's list. Secondly, the game play is entirely two-dimensional, an incredibly bad trait for any "sports" simulation.
It's topped off with control that leave much to be desired. Certainly not one of the best games I have ever seen on this system. The graphics are flat and game play isn't fun. It's far too easy, and lacks It looks more like a Game Gear cart than one for the Genesis. Nuff said. I wasn't impressed at all with this volleyball game.
I know that this is the first volleyball game for the Genesis but they could have done a better job. The game is fun when you first start playing it but it gets old really fast because the game play is repetitive and easy to master.
Play either a single game or take on the seven other teams, one after the other, in the appropriately named World League. Each team supposedly consists of six players, with two additional players ready to rotate in when needed.
One player in the middle, three in the front, and the server in the rear. After you serve, your control is limited to the man in the middle and the three front court players. Am I wrong? Let me know in the comments. Like so many Genesis games, Super Volleyball began its life in the arcade.
Sets are the same basic back-and-forth, hit, lob, serve, spike. Some teams looking at you, China fell for the same moves over and over. In the moment, I was grateful for their inability to know what I was going to do next.
As the sets continued, however, I just stopped caring. If you enjoy retro volleyball of any kind, Super Volleyball might just dink you where it counts. It seems like people would rather play games based on the more glamorous beach volleyball rather than the Olympic-style six-man game. And how does a volleyball game work with a side-view, anyway? Usually they use a slightly overhead view.
In my experience, when it comes to the earlier generations of console games, the less realistic the sports games are, the better. Blades of Steel, various Dodge Ball games etc. Fair review!
