Graphics are nice and big so you can see what's going on, but the trouble is the speed the game is played at: it's terribly slow, probably due to the number of large sprites moving at the same time. Still, it doesn't spoil the game when you're used to it and it's great fun trashing your opponents.

Match Day II is one of the best football games around for the Spectrum and an old favourite.
