The graphics of the volleyball game are generally considered decent, with some users praising the models and overall visual style, while others note that they are dated and simplistic. Many reviews highlight the need for improvements in realism, collision detection, and motion dynamics, indicating that while the graphics are better than some alternatives, they still fall short of expectations. Overall, the game is seen as a viable option for volleyball fans, especially given the lack of quality competitors, but it requires further graphical enhancements and bug fixes.
- “If you are a volleyball fan/player, I think this is the only serious volleyball game out there you'd want to play because the graphics are okay, unlike those $10 budget games, and it has multiple courts and teams.”
- “Fantastic graphics but is lacking in quality of gameplay.”
- “The stylization of the graphics is simple, perfect for serving their purpose while not being overly flashy and taking away from the game.”
- “Wtf wrong with this game? I can't get the ball, I can't hit the ball, I can't serve. Fix everything, including the graphics!”
- “Improvements: the graphics can be more realistic, motion capture and dynamics are not precise enough; hope to be more accurate.”
- “Spike volleyball’s gameplay loop isn’t atrocious, but poor animations and ugly visuals demonstrate the low-budget nature of the project.”
