"Fans of the BattleTech table top game were undoubtedly salivating in anticipation at this game's 1995 release, but the title garnered more widespread tittering with its visuals which, at the time, looked fantastic. But the game was much more than that. It was complex, requiring management of various mechanized subsystems, allowed for tons of customization, and featured an epic storyline as you smashed through challenges as a Wolf or Jade Falcon Clan member. MechWarrior 2 gave players a real sense of power, rewarded digit dexterity across the keyboard, stood as a towering example of what a PC game could be, and how a dense game can still be sophisticated enough to appeal to a wide audience." - IGN
