The best thing I saw in issue 131 of CVG (Oct 1992) was that KO2 was no1 in the sports game right above Sensible Soccer. Here's what it says:
"Anco's superlative footy sim gets the CVG vote as one of the All Time Greats. It's jam packed with just about everything you could want from a footy game and features fast action gameplaywhich is just about out of this world! OK, so the graphics are titchy and the sound a bit poor, but who gives a twopenny about that with gameplay that good? The real beauty of Kick Off 2 is that you can never become too good, and there's always going to be someone out there who's better than you! The game is just the business, and if it's not in your collection, you might as well go and hide at the bottom of your garden right now!
Paul Rand who used to write for CVG was one of the most obsessed KO2 players at the time. He used to beat his opponents with scores like 6-0 back in 1990-1991 when the majority were struggling to score a single goal. I always wanted to have a few matches with him, but unfortunately, I was not in the UK back then.
