Ultimate Dodgeball

Ultimate Dodgeball is an implementation of the dodgeball sport. Shortly summarized, there are two teams (confined to their own half) and three balls on the field. The goal is to hit the other team members with the ball to remove them from the game. Each team consists of eight members, four are on the field simultaneously and a substitute moves in when another team member is out. The round is lost when a team loses all athletes and a match is best of three. Besides the standard movement options (moving, throwing, sprinting, jumping), the player can also hold a button to enter dodge state. Then - if possible - the athlete automatically dodges a ball thrown in his/her direction or, when it comes in the correct angle, catches it which results in the thrower being removed from the field. There are also four special attacks available: charge attack (holding the throw button), jump attack (throwing while jumping), cartwheel (throwing while sprinting) and spike (a combination of jump attack and cartwheel). Charged attacks and cartwheel can't be caught. The game features three playing modes (tournament, death match and elimination) and eight teams. The teams' athletes are of mixed genders and are pre-built Xbox Live avatars with a theme, e.g. militia or disco. There are two camera perspectives to choose from.
