SpeedBall 2100


 
 
 
 
Graphics [5/10]

Very average, some ugly polygonal models. Sad to say, but the Amiga/Mega Drive versions looked better!

 
Sound [6/10]

Some okay music, decent effects let down by low sample rates.

 
Gameplay [8/10]

Here's where it redeems itself, once the player gets used to the sloppy controls, the game becomes addictive very quickly.

 
Replay Value [High]

Knockout, Player Manager, Manager and Practice modes available in a variety of difficulty settings.

 
PAL Conversion [Very Good]

Only small borders on this one, most TVs won't show this much of the screen anyway!

 
Pros

Good, solid, retro fun. Variety of play modes.

 
Cons

Bit of a missed opportunity, poor graphics and sound.
