Gameplay
Gameplay
Super Volleyball is a realistic rendition of volleyball, where players control individual volleyball players to cooperate properly and hit the ball. As the player receives the ball, they must pass it to their teammates until one hits the ball, scoring points when timed right and disallowing the opponents from deflecting the ball. Likewise, the players in the front can also deflect the ball with well-timed button presses. Eight countries' national teams are available.
