Seeing as neither team will avoid having at least one player dramatically subbed - by a group of floating ambulances no less - during the course of a match, awarding points for this element of the game feels pointless and uneven.
The point allocation is odd, with ten points awarded for a goal and an additional ten for taking out an opponent. Why not just aim for the goal as opposed to lighting up stars and hitting ramps? There is also a ramp to the right of the pitch which allows the team to multiply their potential points tally at the threat of losing possession. There are stars on the side of the playing field that can be lit for additional points during the game, as well as bumpers that dish out a couple of points each time they are hit. Unfortunately the game falls into the overcomplicated trap from there. The ball can be lobbed upwards using the Circle button, and curved by switching direction of the analogue stick immediately after release. You can move with the ball in any direction and pass forwards or backwards. The objective of the game is to use your team to hold back the threat of an opposing nine players, and put the ball into the back of their futuristic, electronic net thing. Each player has a unique set of statistics which can be upgraded in the gym or transfer market. You control a team of nine players - three defenders, mid-fielders and attackers. The sport itself is quite simplistic, if a little cluttered with too many rules. The game's cyber-punk presentation has a cynical edge, with brutality being rewarded as you're encouraged to take down opponents as nastily as possible. Sort of.ĭeveloped as a collaboration between Tower Studios (comprising of former Bitmap Brothers employees) and Vivid Games, Speedball 2 Evolution is a futuristic sports game based on pinball, football, rugby and ice-hockey. Turns out it was the game we wanted all along. Thing is, contrary to our opening paragraph, we'd never actually played Speedball.

We'd heard of The Bitmap Brothers' Speedball series of course. But until recently our desire for experimental sports remained unfulfilled. Thankfully we managed to avoid the regrettable deed.

Numerous publishers do a great job replicating the on pitch action of the real-life sports we love year-after-year, but never dare to push their wares into uncharted sporting territory.
