The original Kick Off was expanded on in many ways for this sequel. The game now features full tournament modes (although the players on the teams are fictitious) and four different pitches (including an implementation of plastic pitches, whose uneven bounce cause controversy when several British clubs tried them in the 1980s).

Viewed top-down, the controls involve trapping the ball under your foot, giving you time to prepare passes. Running with the ball is tricky at first, as it doesn't stick to your foot the way it did in contemporary football games. Complex moves such as overhead kicks, back-heels and long-range through-ball passes can be completed with practice.

Trivia

Anco Software released Kick Off 2002 (obviously in 2002). Surprisingly the cover art of Kick Off 2002 is exactly the same with Kick Off 2. But, with only one difference: the '2' in the front cover art is replaced with '02'.
