Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe

About

Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe is a 2007 Xbox 360 remake of The Bitmap Brothers' 1991 Amiga classic. It’s a fast-paced shooter where you play a team sport with guns and explosions. Compete in single-player leagues or challenge others in local or online multiplayer. Choose between the original pixelated look or an enhanced HD 3D version. The game adds leaderboards and achievements to track progress. Though the developer closed in 2009 and the title was delisted from XBLA, it’s remembered for quirky humor and frantic action. With 32 teams and multiple match types, it’s brief but intense, great for short bursts. Some praise its charm, others find it rough around the edges, but it’s a throwback worth trying if you’re into retro shooters.
