Divekick: Addition Edition +

Divekick is a comedic parody of fighting game motifs and contains many humorous references to games (especially those in the Street Fighter franchise) as well as inside jokes from within the competitive fighting game community. Unlike most fighting games, which are played using many buttons for many different kinds of movement and attacks, Divekick is played using only two buttons, Dive and Kick. Pressing Dive causes the character to perform a vertical jump, with each character having different jump height and speed. After Diving, the player can press the Kick button to perform a diving kick, with each character kicking at a different speed and angle.

Pressing Kick while standing performs a backward evasive hop for most characters called a "kickback". Using these moves is the only way to move, evade, attack, and dodge. Performing a divekick will partly fill a Kick Meter displayed at the bottom of the screen. This meter can be partially expended to perform a special move, activated by pressing both buttons at once.

Official PlayStation Magazine Benelux said it was "A fighting game with subpar graphics and just one attack should not get more than 10/100, but it actually is pretty fun. When playing multiplayer." IGN said "It is unfortunate that there's not a better single-player mode, and more unfortunate that Divekick's cultural insensitivity can be downright cringe-worthy, but it's still a successful experiment in simplified fighting." GameSpot said "Divekick's single-player game is lacking, but this two-button brawler turns into feet-flying fun with friends."

Game Informer said "In the right environment and with the right people, Divekick offers some fun. But the lack of online lobbies drastically limits those opportunities. Like most novelties, the fun of Divekick is short-lived." Edge said "What had the potential to showcase to the uninitiated what makes fighting games so special has become a game aimed too squarely at those who already know."
