Reception

The PC version received "mixed" reviews, while the PlayStation version received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. 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."
