    I bought it, and was very disappointed. I read that the gameplay was supposed to be good. But you don't even get to control when your player jumps up for the spike (it auto auto jumps). Both the graphics and sound are sub par as well. I'm really surprised Sega is responsible (one of my fav game publishers).

    Easy to pick up and easy to play, a la "Virtua Tennis." [Feb 2003, p.96]

    As a multiplayer game though, Beach Spikers is exceptional – up there with "Virtua Tennis," "Soccer Slam" and "NBA 2K3" in Sega’s hall of fame.

    Excels in a superb multiplayer mode that will keep your friends glued (or gawking at the screen).
