Critic Reviews for Windjammers 2
Dotemu delivers an exquisite extension of Data East's 1994 masterpiece.
A stylish arcade throwback that delights while it lasts but has little to offer.
Windjammers 2 is a tightly balanced, addictive game of combat air hockey that will have you screaming at your friends.
Dotemu has created a nostalgic slice of competitive sporting excellence with Windjammers 2. It might only offer a handful of modes, but its wide roster of characters, tight controls, and admirable dedication to what came before it meant I was entranced the moment I picked up a disc and hurled it into the air. This is one of the finest local multiplayer games in recent memory that is easy to learn yet devilishly hard to master. It’s also very sexy.
Windjammers 2 gives existing fans more of the wacky disc hockey they love but not much else.
Windjammers 2 offers fast-paced and intensely fun online and offline versus play, but there's little to keep your interest if you're flying solo.
Windjammers 2 is far from a revolutionary new take on the original game, but it's a great sequel and terrific arcade sports game in its own right, continuing to establish Dotemu as masters of the retro throwback scene.
With Windjammers 2, Dotemu has taken the fiendishly addictive core formula of the Neo Geo classic and improved upon it in every way. The core gameplay here remains as immediately endearing as ever whilst being enhanced and given a real strategic kick by a bevvy of new moves and skills that add to the fun without detracting from or overcomplicating proceedings. Yes, there's not much in the way of modes, and we've yet to see how online fares here, but this is another banger from Dotemu, an all-time classic improved upon, an arcade classic refined for a new generation.
