I don't normally make impulse purchases, especially when the word on the street is a cautious 'hmmm', but S2 has such happy memories for me I went ahead anyway:
Speedball 2 Tournament is out on Steam... I fear I'm about to be disappointed

I played Speedball 2 to death when I was younger. Brilliant game. I might get this remake depending on the reviews. I'd hate to see such a classic game mauled by a crud remake.

I loved speedball, I even have the intro tune set as my mobile phone ringtone :). Think I'll wait for the verdict though. Dont want to stain my rose tinted glasses with a shoddy remake.

I remember playing speedbal 2 on the good old amiga 500 with my friends or solo.
Was a great game for its time, but as such things, when you've tried something better (like eve for instance) going back to the old games for too long tends to take away their glow.
that being said i do hope you have fun with the speedbal revamp on steam :)

Cheers for that, just when I decide to stop getting more games cos I haven't finished several of the ones I've got and I don't need to go spending more money, someone brings up something like this!! Git :P

Very tempted to get this as it was one of my favorites on the old 500.

Don't bother guys.
had a quick go, however i've had
1.) BAD AI, most of the team stand there doing jack, or they run away from the ze ball 2.) Some players on your team will not do anything with the ball.... apart from run around until someone ***** slaps them 3.) Even after turning all teh "specials" off, the opp force can still use them, inc (and this is my fave) s**** ball+best player to 1 foot behind defence and score" teleport trick.
Bad options...
Can't change the AI level, Locked to OMFGBBQWTF did you do to my team. Graphics options are ok (Game does look sweet) Control's don't work when there remapped. (most don't work when there set to normal) No Player nor team mangement screens like the org (might be on a diffrent game type, not 100% sure) No information on what player is good at what, just some nice color's around the base of them. Attacking is limited to, punch or kick, only AI team members can attack in midair. They can solo knockout any member of your team with 1 punch.. In knock out, you can't set more then 1 Ai player.... That makes the knock out 4 player option a 1v1 with the computer. Can't turn off the goal replays..
End result, I'll try some more game types tomorrow night after work, but tbfh stay away from this, go on ebay, buy a Amiga 500 and a copy of the ORG and play that.

Fairly sure I can attribute some RSI to Speedball :)

Yeah, it's pretty buggy, the UI is not working that well and it lacks options. That said, there's something about it that makes me want to give it the benefit of the doubt.
Tempted to get a 360 to play the original on Live Arcade. What with SWOS about to be released there, it seems the best place for retro-sports nostalgia at the moment.
(Getting a next-gen console to play old-gen games FTW!!!)
