Introduction

Kings of the Beach is a two on two beach volleyball game. The players move their teams around on the sand performing quick moves like serves, thumps and spikes. The player has to outsmart and outplay the opposing team to win.

Gameplay

The game has three different modes to play: Practice, Match Play and Tournament. In Tournament mode the player competes across five different beaches: San Diego, Chicago, Waikiki, Rio de Janeiro and Australia. As they progress, each stage gets increasingly more difficult. There is a feature in the game where the player can choose to argue calls with the referee, which sometimes allows the player to overturn a point. However, if the player argues too much, the referee may penalize them with a red card and deduct a point.

Trivia

Lester from and Hard Hat Mack teams up in this game. Tim Hovland and Mike Dodd are real life volleyball players that are featured in the game.
