Kick Off 2 Overview
Kick Off 2 is a top-down football simulation for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Its control scheme emphasizes deliberate ball handling, requiring players to trap the ball with a player's foot before executing a pass, which contrasts with other contemporary titles where the ball adhered more closely to a player.
The game includes comprehensive tournament options, though it does not feature real player names. Match conditions can vary across four distinct pitch types, one of which is a plastic surface known for creating an unpredictable bounce, a feature referencing real-world 1980s football controversies.
Mastering the gameplay is challenging, as dribbling is not intuitive initially. However, with practice, players can perform advanced techniques like overhead kicks, back-heels, and precise long-range through passes.
