Volley Ball

Introduction

Sometimes a 350 pounds gamer like me some exercise and often ponder about the ramification if I don’t exercise. I thought, well, it would still count if I played a game that is sport oriented. This lead me to the quest of playing this game called Volley. Simple name yet it leaves a profound ring to the tone of the name. Volley, this game for the NES console is considered a pioneer and classic for its genre.

Hey, don’t make fun of volley ball games, now. Because we all know that volley isn’t just for sissy; and you can conclude that this game isn’t for die hard fans of volley ball everyone because everyone - despite of your age or gender - can equally enjoy this game to a vas extend because its so fun and addictive that it leaves me yawning for me. Am I catching your interest here? Read on.

Game Play

The game play for this game is so simple yet so addictive and fun that … you know, keeps me yawning for me because I love its simple ness. In the menu, you get to select one or two player. Select a team that comprise of males or females. Not only that, but you can get to choose the country you want to play against or for. Now this means the game developers put some thoughts into this because you can play as your favorite volley ball team instead of just playing with human beings in plain clothes …..

The team is mart; you’re set in a normal volley ball formation and you play the game. As the ball comes and land on your part of the square, you have the ability to control the team mates and they come and they can either go and bump the ball to the other side or they have the option of bumping the ball in the air and let another team mate bump the ball … to the other partition. Interesting? Yes it is! Even if its not rocket science. You can also serve the ball in the game which is fun because you have to throw it into the air and then spike it.

Conclusion

There are many instances when you want to play this game because it is relaxing game to play in the afternoon with your grand parents or something or even your baby sister because this game is deadly simple and yet so deadly addictive that makes you want to come back for more.
