Windjammers 2 Review (Xbox Series S)

by Jim Smale · January 31, 2022

Windjammers yeah! It’s time to go back to the beach and throw discs at each other in the name of entertainment. Join us in our Windjammers 2 Review as we apply the sunscreen, adjust our Budgies and go all-in with discs flying all over the place! We take it to the beaches, we take it to the casinos but wherever we go the Lady empire will be in a bikini? Wooo this is Windjammers!

Windjammers 2 Review Pros:

Bright detailed cartoon graphics.
702.6MB download size.
1000 Gamerscore.
Classic Windjammers gameplay.
The game is you throwing a disc around, it bounces off the walls/environment and depending on where you score (get it past the other player) depends on how much you score.
How to play section.
A lot of different moves like tosses, slams, special moves, and lobs.
Three modes – online, arcade, and versus.
The online mode shows online players count, ranked match, quick match, play with friends, online stats, and leaderboards.
Versus allows a player or computer opponents.
Arcade mode has three difficulties – Easy, medium, and hard.
Ten characters each with unique stats for power and speed.
The Arcade mode is round-based and each round you pick from two opponents to face off against.
Very pick up and play to it all.
The controls are both deep and basic meaning players of all abilities can battle.
Mini-games happen in between every other round in the arcade mode.
Each environment you play in is unique like extra obstacles or a spin on how the points are scored.

Windjammers 2 Review Cons:

The difficulties feel all over the place.
Generally sliding around feels weird and makes it hard to catch the disc.
It’s pick-up amd play against other players but arcade mode is a big ask initially.
Cannot rebind the controls.
There are so many button combos to remember.
More a social game than a solo game.

Summary

Windjammers is back baby! After so many years of playing the original on emulators and finally getting it legit on Consoles, to get a sequel felt almost impossible of you told me years ago. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect here but what you get is basically the same game as before except you get environments to play in that really mix up the way the game plays or the way in which you score. It’s no longer just bouncing discs off walls, it’s a case of obstacles appearing in the middle, or crazy over-the-top special moves. I honestly don’t care it’s more of the same as the first was near perfection.
