Jan 21, 2022Anyone that loved the original will delight in playing Windjammers 2 (and that is unabashedly me). For those coming to this game for the first time would do well to look for good video tutorials.

Mar 15, 2022Windjammers 2 is a really great game. There’s a nice community of players still going strong online and this game could be a great controller passing time for local play. Sure, the tutorial is a bit rough, but just playing and experimenting with the game allowed me to get better and have a fun time with it. Anyone who is into arcadey sports titles and to a lesser extent, fighting games should give this one a try.

Feb 2, 2022I honestly expected Windjammers 2 to be quite a simple and bland experience, but there’s some depth to its gameplay for only using a couple of buttons. If you missed out on the original Windjammers, don’t sleep on this sequel. It may seem like an odd mashup of sports, but it works and becomes quite addicting once you become a badass Windjammer.

Jan 28, 2022Windjammers 2 manages to score with a great combination of nostalgia, chaos and tactics. The fresh 90s frisbee action still holds up in modern times. Unfortunately, the amount of content leaves a lot to be desired and new players should have been welcomed better.
-
Jan 24, 2022Windjammers 2 is more proof that simple ideas can take off when done effectively. What is essentially Pong sprinkled with a bit of table hockey and a dash of Street Fighter works because it is so simple to play.
-
Jan 20, 2022A cracking sequel to a cult arcade classic, Windjammers 2 ups the ante with sharp hand-drawn visuals and more than a modicum of pure arcade panache. The idea of Pong (with frisbees, mind you) turned up to 11 has never been so appealing.
-
Jan 20, 2022While there may not be much content on show, Windjammers 2 totally makes up for it with intense and unique gameplay that will have you asking "just one more match?".
-
Feb 1, 2022Windjammers is back with the same formula of the 90s, and the same absurd fun of the old days. A must play of 2022 to spend great moments with friends.

Jan 23, 2022Windjammers 2 is the logical continuation of the episode released in 1994: new characters, new mechanics and online ranked games, it comes out with all the advantages expected of such a title in 2022. in easy hand does not close the door to neophytes while the added moves constitute an additional strategic layer for amateurs of high level game. That said, it must be recognized that the title of Dotemu is sorely lacking in content and that it will hardly hook solo players in the long term.
-
Mar 21, 2022It may be several decades since the original was released, but the sportsmanship torch has been proudly passed onto Windjammers 2. It may lack a comprehensive offline arcade mode, but you can still get windswept into its addictive gameplay cycle and online competition.

Jan 26, 2022With a co-op mode more fun than a barrel of monkeys, Windjammers 2 ranks as one of the best party games on the console and it’s available in the GamePass. Dotemu has once again succeeded in capturing the feel of the original game while adding qualitative extra content. Unfortunately, the single-player aspect is less interesting due to a quite poor arcade mode and the absence of a training option. It will therefore be dedicated for evenings with friends.
