A brand new entry into the legendary Bitmap Brothers series! Venture into the grim future of 2138 where mega-corporations use Speedball to distract the downtrodden masses from their miserable lives.
150% recommend this game.
I didn't have high hopes for another speedball as the previous pc versions have been a let down.
I used to play the amiga version and loved it.
This version surprised me that it actually improved a lot more than the original.
The only thing i prefer from the original was the graphical theme or look. but in terms of playability...
I bought in promotion as I used to love it on Atari back in the days . Unfortunately the sensation and the initial fun of the original are not there . You get bored very quickly as it gets very repetitive even when you try for a solo league. It misses all the bell and whistle the original had with changing gears , the dark atmosphere of the original...
I tried the free weekend of this, and as expected, it's garbage. To top it off, it also has denuvo, for a game with about 10 players that's quite the choice. Rebellion clearly don't understand what made Speedball 2 so special, they should sell the IP to someone else because clearly they don't have what it takes. All they needed to do was port Speedball...
