J.League Pro Striker 2

Vast improvement


Genre: sports - soccer

Publisher: Sega

Year: 1994

System: MD


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

The dribble, dribble, dribble mechanic barely remains. Had I not played the first game I don't think I'd be able to identify what makes this game feel every so slightly off. Thankfully, you can at least move down the field and even put shots on the goal, but passing is virtually impossible, so it's not all sunshine and roses.


Level Design Score: 3

Level Design Notes:


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

The language barrier persists but the menus are patterned after EA Sports' to give far better understandability.


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

The graphics take a step back, with small, uninteresting sprites.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

Normal crowd noises take the place of that abominable fire alarm from the first game. Voices are gone, but that's a small price to pay for an end to the suffering of my poor ears.


Overall Score: 34

Review ID: 6033
