    Unfortunately this is kinda boring. It’s not the kind of game you can pick up and play with friends because the controls take too much getting used to. It might have been a classic in the 90s but times move on and it gets old quick.

    Windjammers 2 is an addictive 1v1 arcade game that is perfect for esports or your own little rivalries. The tight gameplay and controls expand on the original, and if you find an opponent close to your own level, you'll experience a ton of great matches. There isn't much that you can do outside of some bot matches and local play. Online features are available, but during our testing period, it was almost impossible to find an opponent, much less one who wouldn't immediately obliterate us. That doesn't make Windjammers 2 less good, but it does limit how much of that goodness you can experience. If you have a few capable friends or want to try it on another console, Windjammers 2 is the perfect 1v1 game to play and obsess over in a friendly rivalry.

    All the new bells and whistles are great, but I lost interest fairly quickly. [Issue #58 – March/April 2022, p. 21]

    Windjammers 2 is a playable ode to the original arcade game that relies on its multiplayer and renewed artwork to offer us a truly addictive proposal. Unfortunately, its lack of ambition, by not betting on including new game modes, prevents the game from taking advantage of its full potential.
