Rude is probably the best way to describe the
Outlaw games, and
Volleyball: Remixed is no exception. All aspects of the game cry "rude," from the annoying announcer to the characters' taunts and next-to-nothing bikinis.
Remixed offers new modes of play (Baseball and Ping Pong) and a couple of new volleyball courts.
I'm a HUGE fan of 4-player arcade-style games of this type (volleyball, hockey, basketball, etc.), where you and three of your buds can hook it up and party the night away. The great thing about Outlaw Volleyball: Remixed is the ease of controlling your characters. Unfortunately, the worst thing about the game happens to be the same thing. As you jump into the fray, you may have a hard time learning to get to the right spots on defense. As you practice, however, you'll soon learn that the artificial intelligence will actually help you control your character, making it much easier to be in the right spot at the right time. Remember this, and Outlaw Volleyball: Remixed will become a very entertaining game.
All of the usuals of sand volleyball are here, and even though the actions of the characters are pretty over-the-top, the basic gameplay will please many types of fans. The rules of the game are authentic, but you'll have plenty of power-moves too. Also, you'll be able to go on tour and compete in a variety of events with different rules and guidelines before crowning yourself king of the court.
