Power Spike: Pro Beach Volleyball, known in Europe as Beach 'n Ball (Game Boy Color) or Beach Volleyball (PlayStation), is a video game developed by French[3] studio Carapace Game Development and Spark, and published by Infogrames for Game Boy Color, PlayStation and Microsoft Windows in 2000-2001.

Reception

The PC version received "mixed" reviews, while the PlayStation version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[7][8] Kathryn Renta of NextGen said, "There's only one volleyball game available on the PlayStation – and apparently, it's one too many. That's the sad truth about Power Spike. It could have been enjoyable, but the graphics are ugly, the music repetitive, and it's a chore to play."[21]
