Windjammers 2 

 

Thanks to Xbox Game Pass I was able to play Windjammers 2 on the Xbox One for no additional cost above the monthly fee. Windjammers 2 is one of those disposable downloadable video games. Windjammers 2 is just over seven hundred megs in terms of memory size. There are ten characters families can pick from in Windjammers 2. There is a speed/power gauge that each player has. That means family members can pick which they want more of - speed? or power?

Two family members can enjoy Windjammers 2 at the same time. I tried to play Windjammers 2 without the tutorial. I got beat and badly. To the tune of 16-0, and 17-0. I then took the tutorial, which is mainly a lot of screens explaining the complex and confusing controls. Trying to remember all of the controls in Windjammers 2 made my head hurt. To make matters worse they did not always work in the heat of the moment. Which is highly obnoxious.

The arcade sounds in Windjammers 2 are fantastic. Much of the music is pleasant to listen to. Some of the music in Windjammers 2 is obnoxious. The overhead view works really well in this frisbee sport video game. We try to throw the frisbee into the goal the other player is protecting. We can power up, toss it up, and more. If the frisbee hits the ground on your side then the other player earns points. At times I would catch the frisbee but it would still knock me into the goal because of the power. I also never understood why I missed the frisbee at times.

The cel shaded graphics are hit or miss. I am not a fan of them in Windjammers 2 personally. We have a bikini babe that tosses us the frisbees in Windjammers 2. There are also barely dressed men and women bouncing around in the background in Windjammers 2. The ESRB was not capable of finding any words to describe the enticement to lust, and objectification of women in Windjammers 2.

The modes within Windjammers 2 are Online, Arcade, Versus, How to Play and Settings. Windjammers 2 is hard. I got beat over and over again. I did eventually win one match after a lot of attempts. I genuinely had no fun playing Windjammers 2. The controls are too complex and confusing. To make matters worse they do not always work. I never want to play Windjammers 2 ever again. Could we get some good games on Xbox Game Pass please?
