    Windjammers 2 is a more than worthy successor to the classic, which knows how to keep the experience intact 25 years later. Much like what Dotemu did with Streets of Rage 4, Windjammers 2 takes the great gameplay of the original and improves it, with more possibilities and depth, but in a way that still feels classic.

    Windjammers 2 is both a homage to arcade games of old times and a great follow-up, modern and still as demanding as its predecessor.

    If you enjoyed the original game, then you’re going to like what DotEmu delivers in the Windjammers 2. While I’m not a fan of taming the power-ups, I am a fan of competitive disc games that remind me how cool TRON was back in the 80s. Windjammers 2 is an easy-to-pick-up arcade experience that has far more positives than negatives.

    DotEmu does it again with Windjammers 2, an arcade experience in his purest form. While the game is dynamic and works great online thanks to rollback netcode, the lack of content, modes to play or progression can discourage newer players that expect modern elements.

    Windjammers 2 is shallow, but it’s fun – unless you’re playing alone, then things get old fast. Stick to human opponents though, and you’ll definitely give a disc toss. [Issue#11, p.84]

    Existing fans of the Windjammers series will absolutely love Windjammers 2 – no doubt about it. Newcomers willing to put the effort in to learn its mechanics will find a lot to enjoy, too. It’s just a shame that its single-player offerings are so slight, and the AI isn’t much fun to go up against. Multiplayer is the highlight here, and if you do plan on playing against friends, family and/or strangers, you’ll get way more than your money’s worth.

    Windjammers 2 is an enjoyable throwback that proves its unique sport is still a blast, but the thrill is fleeting. I’m happy to see it return; I just wish it gave me more reasons to step on its court more often.

    The French publisher and developer Dotemu have really outdone themselves with "Windjammers 2" and it's really fun. The rather small scope andThe French publisher and developer Dotemu have really outdone themselves with "Windjammers 2" and it's really fun. The rather small scope and the price-performance ratio can be criticized. But it's simply fun to hit the frisbee around our opponents' ears again. The flair of the 90s is also really fun and with a lot of practice you can achieve a lot. If you would like to experience a classic in an improved form, you should have a look at "Windjammers 2".
