Reviews for Gazza II (#1996)

Review by Raphie on 05 Jan 2013 (Rating: 4)

Dear god! It's the sequel to the absolutely awful Gazza's Super Soccer...and what do you know? It's actually really good!!!

This is so much better than the predecessor in every aspect! The graphics are better, the gameplay is better, the controls are better, everything is so much better! And there's music from David Whittaker as well! It's a dramatic transformation!!!

And in actual fact Gazza II is one of the more playable and enjoyable soccer games on the ZX Spectrum! Nowhere near the likes of the Match Days and Emlyn Hughes but it's ahead of so many of the rubbish soccer games I have had to endure, in particular Gazza I!

Everything that was so much wrong in the first Gazza game Empire have put right in this sequel. My I'm chuffed!

By all accounts this is a vastly superior sequel to the appalling Gazza's Super Soccer with so many improvements to the gameplay, even though they appear to be playing with a cricket ball rather than a soccer ball. Also what is with the opposing players' sprites? It's like are we playing against humans? But graphical grumbling aside, it is so much better than the previous Gazza game in so many ways.
