Beach Spikers

Thanks to the Olympic legacy many will be introduced to the delight of beach volleyball. Appropriately 'Benny Hill' music accompanies the raking of the sand back into a playable court by the ball attendants. It fits them charging around with rakes and it also fits to highlight the more lecherous element of the sport. Still those caught starring at the odd derrière can blame the fact that is where the signal on what serve is given to your team mate.
Beach volleyball was given a highly accessible, arcade version which still takes time to master in Beach Spikers on the GameCube. Plenty of beautiful, bronzed flesh on show in this fine  translation of the glamorous, Olympic sport alas without the Benny Hill theme tune. Character design also possible for the dedicated fan. Happy Olympic Gaming.
