Want to know something that’s always fascinated us? The second-tier sports games. Every console has its blockbusters like FIFA and NBA, but what about those sports that aren’t necessarily household names? We’re talking about rugby, cricket, and, yes, volleyball.

The production values are very poor, but we’ve been playing this one for review and the gameplay loop isn’t awful. Check back for our verdict.
