Joe Montana II: Sportstalk Football
released on May 01, 1991
Joe's back - now with simultaneous non-stop play-by-play announcing. Control the action on the field and listen to the running commentary from the broadcast booth. It's a whole new game of sound and sight! The field zooms to a dazzling 6X close-up when the players cross the scrimmage line. You see every slamming interception, flying tackle and smash through the defensive wall! Up close and personal! Team up with another guy - you're the quarterback, he's the wide receiver. Call your strategy with over 50 plays in rain/snow, on grass/artificial field. Wide view shows all your receivers at once.

Second of the series doomed forever to languish in the shadow of the demi-god Madden. The sideways perspective is still used, but now the addition of synthesised speech tries to elevate it above its contemporaries. The play zooms in upon receiving which can be a BIT jarring, the plays aren't as extensive as others, and while the graphics are nice (Sonic cameo!) the animation is a trifle jerky. It's also quite easy to exploit gaps in the opponent's defence, the AI is as basic as they come.
