    Windjammers is an arcade-sports game that plays like a cross between volley ball and ice hockey. It was a cult classic on the NEO GEO. Unfortunately, the PS4 port (while sturdy) is only a must-have for hardcore fans. Besides the base game, there are just a few bonus extras.

Unfortunately, the PS4 port (while sturdy) is only a must-have for hardcore fans. Besides the base game, there are just a few bonus extras. A few mini-games have been added along with the option to play online. Visually, you can choose between two ratio aspects, add scanlines, use a CCR monitor filter or borders. Also, there are two musical soundtracks, the original arcade version or an upgraded remix. Gameplay is simple, but strategic and lots of fun. If you absolutely loved Windjammers back in the day, this is the best way to play it. Overall, I would rate it with a 7.6 out of 10.… Expand

    Windjammers is a good example of how solid gameplay can remain enticing, even if only a few additions are made to the overall package. It lacks some meaningful modes for the solo player, but it makes up for it with a good enough multiplayer component for both online and offline play. The best part is that the core gameplay elements and the presentation are left virtually untouched, which is perfect since any changes would ruin the game's spirit. It remains a quirky game that local multiplayer fans need to have if they want a fighting game experience without necessarily having to learn a bunch of complicated maneuvers.

    Despite the inconsistent online mode, this is an instantly satisfying slice of arcade sports, and the most fun you can have with a Frisbee without heading to the beach. [Nov 2017, p.93]

    Forget the internet, then - Windjammers' arena is the living room, and there it shines just as brightly as it did in 1994. [Nov 2017, p.79]
