Tower Studios and Vivid Games in association with The Bitmap Brothers have announced that the iOS port of Speedball 2 - this time with added Evolution - will be released this month.

Now normally upon hearing the news of an imminent release like this I'd begin frantically counting down the days, and gobbling up every bit of info I could find. But, and as much as I'm on the verge of unleashing a Bitmap Broner, I'm slightly apprehensive about the forthcoming release of Speedball 2: Evolution on iOS. You see, so many times now we've been burned by lackluster ports, by shoe-horned conversions and by shonky controls. And as much as I want this to help me re-live those past glories, I'm worried that like so many iOS ports before it, it'll get played for 20 minutes before being callously passed off as yet another missed opportunity.

But then, when you consider detailed list of features, it's hard not to get excited.

• 336 individual players
• 22 achievements
• 20 power-ups and pick-ups
• 16 classic Speedball teams
• 12 new intergalactic teams
• 10 season career mode
• 10 single player modes
• 6 arenas on four different planets
• Player transfer market and upgrades

And it'll only take one rendition of the classic "ICE-CREAM" line to get my blood flowing again. See the trailer for yourself and make your own mind up.
