Top down two player sports title that is an update of the 94' Neo Geo classic, this sequel adding new characters, stage options, and gameplay mechanics. Each player takes one half of a court and must throw a frisbee into their opponents goals or cause them to miss a dropped shot on their side. Points can be earned from one to eight based on the arena and scoring location and most matches are played with the winner needing to win two sets and a set being won at 15 points.

Fun, fast paced, and good looking game with more strategy than you might originally think. You can rotate your movement stick to curve your throws, jump to slam down shots, perform drop shots, flip the frisbee up to allow for charged shots if you hit the throw button right before you would have caught it, do a melee like attack to hit the frisbee back quickly, and you can perform quick short range dashes. When the frisbee is up in the air getting under it allows you to charge up shots with the effects being different for each character or you can perform a charged drop shot that lands the frisbee on its side quickly propelling it forward to the goal. Frisbees bounce of the arena's walls and as you throw you build up a meter for a super shot that can be used offensively or defensively as using it when you aren't shooting can cause the frisbee to bounce up into the air saving you from missing opponents shots.

You have 11 characters to choose from with each having a different amount of speed and power and each with their own special charged throws. 10 different stages are available with each having a different look, zones worth different amounts of points, size, or possibly obstacles in the center that can give your frisbee more to bounce off of gives you more options for more interesting matches.

The only problems are that there really isn't much to the arcade mode, you are just playing one on one vs the computer or one on one vs friends or online opponents. There's no team games, story mode with a plot or interesting mechanics, there is a tutorial you can read that does a poor job getting you ready to play the game, and the only modifiers are just changing the number of sets to win or the number of points to win a set.

What is there is well worth it if you have friends to play with or a desire to play online.
