    Sixteen years on and it's not so fast, or smooth, or fun. The controls are stiffer than cold porridge and the new HD graphics are no improvement. [Sept 2007, p.96]

    The poor animations, and more than anything, the lax controls, make this a game that few will play more than once.

    Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe used to be fun, but time has not been kind. Despite a variety of new gameplay options, this Xbox Live Arcade entry is not worth a second glance, due to poor controls, graphics, and sound.

    Just as I remember it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Excellent stuff.
