Title: What a mess
Product review: "Speedball 2100" is a remake being offered by Empire as part of it's value priced catalog. While 3-D has been added, the makers wanted to keep the spirit of the original. After playing the game, I ask: "Why?". In a half-baked effort to "upgrade" to 3-D, the players look like road kill. The graphics are dark and dull, and so is the sound.Even worse, SB is UNforgivably unplayable, and for a game called "Speed" ball, the players are so slow. There is a GM function, but this game is so bad, who cares?What a shame. With a little effort this game could be great. Instead, the makers figured at the low price, you could regurgitate it and land a few nostalgia gamers and cheapskate curiosity seekers.With 4 next generation systems to be on the market in a few months, marketing a game like "Speedball 2100" as a stand alone product at this point in time has to be called into question. At any price. -Dan Morelan
