Gamezilla!

It isn't necessarily a bad game, it’s not exactly the kind of game that’ll keep you riveted for hours on end, either.

PSX Nation

They have the right idea with the Virtua Tennis approach but failed to come even close with the graphics to match. Shoddy graphics ruin this game ultimately.

IGN

Normally, graphics follow gameplay in our list of priorities, but better animation, better character models, a decent frame rate, and well, a lot of other things, could have made this a more complete volleyball experience.

Sports Gaming Network

A bad frame-rate, severely choppy animation, and a hard-to-spot aiming cursor are just a few things that seriously hinder Power Spike's promising but flawed gameplay.

GameZone

Although the game is somewhat entertaining, the graphics make it almost unplayable.

A real waste of the attractive Gabrielle Reece license.

GameSpot

Makes a good attempt, but its inconsistencies and shoddy control detract from the overall experience. It has the benefit of being instantly playable, but on the flip side, the game is also instantly forgettable.

Gaming Age

While it fits the sport very well, this is one sport meant for playing in the sun and not on a console.

Happy Puppy

Credit should be given to Infogrames for even producing a volleyball game, but Power Spike's a bit like getting sand in your shorts -- not much fun at all.

Want to play volleyball? Go to the beach and stick to the real thing; this game sucks.
