The chaos engine crashes on start up, and speedball crashes a few seconds into the unskippable intro.. I don't understand how you can, take a great game, make the IA worst than original 20 years later.no add something great like a 2nd button...No effort were made to this game.i'm ♥♥♥♥ing disapointed.not to mention bug like trying to shoot forward but the ball goes down left when you're in front of the goal alone.seriously guys.... Got this as part of a Humble Bundle, and it was the sole reason I bought it.Well, needless to say it's a complete mess. After playing through the tutorial (which is hidden in the options menu, by the way), I got the jist of the scoring system. While constantly trying to put my newfound training to use, I quickly realized that running diagonaly makes the player or AI carrying the ball virtually invincible to most tackles. The AI on the player side seems to know nothing about offense or defense and bumbleclucks its way around the arena while the AI throws the ball at bumpers, stars, and somehow teleports the ball around the arena at unpredictable intervals. (And at one time, right into my goal. Hooray for cheating!)The power-ups system is nice, except for the part where it's practically useless. I can run faster... Until I get sacked 2 seconds later by a tackle spanning about 10 feet. There also seems to be a complete lack explanation as to what in the apple sauce they do. A purple negative sign? Armor on the ground? A can of... Something with an S on it?This game had a lot of promise - and I'm sure 23 or so years ago the original was fantastic - but this one isn't.. Some people say that video games cause violent behaviour. Well Speedball 2 did with me as I wanted to punch my monitor right in its flat wide-screen face as it trampled over my memories of a great game.All the fun of the original seems to have been lost and replaced with a ton of frustration. The controls and ball physics are terrible and the one thing they could have updated from the original: online play, they haven't.If you remember the original, avoid it. If you don't, avoid it.. I played the Amiga version many years ago so I had great hopes for this game.But it fell flat because of bugs and all sorts of odd things which shouldn't be in a re-make to modern standards.Don't buy!
