No se puede juzgar un juego y mucho menos su jugabilidad sin haberlo probado antes.... a mi tampoco me gustaba mucho la cámara pero tras ver docenas de videos me ha convencido.

"Yeah, but how does it play?
The short answer is: better than you'd think.

The volleyball in DOAX is simple to control and difficult to master. One button of your choosing is to "receive" the ball as in bump it or set it to your teammate and another button is for "attack", that is, getting the ball over the net to your opponent. The situation and how hard you mash the analog buttons determines exactly what kind of hit you'll make. The game is fairly generous in its character/ball collision detection so that you'll be able to make plays on the ball even when you're not in correct position, but you won't always make the best bump or set that you would've had you gotten in perfect position. So while you can make great diving digs and lunge for saves, you're sacrificing accuracy so that your partner may not be able to do much with the ball. "
