Speedball 2 HD Critic Reviews

Fast paced and hard hitting, Speedball 2 HD combines full contact sports with association football and comes out pretty well. Since this title has some flaws and lacks online multiplayer, it isn't going to win the top division, but it holds its own and is certainly fun to play.

The remake of Speedball 2 is a good one. It still offers a great and addicting gameplay, with magnificent graphics. Speedball 2 HD is, however, too easy to be really challenging, which makes it boring really fast.

Speedball 2 HD is another HD remake of an old classic... but we don't have that kind of violent sport game these days, so it's kind of fresh and really nice to play. Forget it if you're a solo player, though.

Speedball teaches you how to play and sets you loose, but leaves you with only a handful of avenues to explore the possibilities.

If you have a lot of nostalgia for Speedball 2, you’ll probably enjoy this HD remake for what it is, but those looking for a new arcade sports game should look elsewhere.

Speedball 2 HD is a purchase for those who want to rekindle the early 90s, the glory days of gaming, the Amiga, the Master System, the Atari… however the resultant fire will barely light the soul, sizzling out all too quickly.

Ice cream was just so much sweeter in the nineties. Sometimes it hurts seeing your old favorites not having aged that well at all.

Speedball 2 HD has a lot of minor quirks that could be forgiven if only the game had some multiplayer mode to make it up for them. As it is, this remake is not better than the original in any way.

Speedball 2 HD is an atrocious tribute to a great Amiga game. Rest in peace.

Speedball 2 HD plays worse, looks worse and is far, far easier than the Amiga version from almost 23 years ago.
