Savage 2 combines first/third person multiplayer action and real-time strategy and does it very well. The learning curve is quite steep, because the tutorial and the manual are lacking but that's the only major problem with game. [Mar 2008]
-
83In combining the team-based action of games like Tribes and Battlefield with an original fantasy setting and a ground-level RTS mechanic, they've come up with something that's unlike anything else on the market right now...except the original Savage, of course.
-
Predictably Savage 2 has its detractors as well as its supporters, but there's no denying that there's absolutely no other game series out there that does what it does.
-
82If you can, buy this with four friends, make a team and watch in awe as an excellent RPSRPGRTS unfolds around you. [Apr 2008, p.74]
-
As a whole, Savage 2 follows very closely to the formula laid out by the original title. And despite the overall lack of players, those who enjoy both a challenge and strategic teamplay will find a lot to like in Savage 2.
-
80The game offers a ton of quality action for a low price.
-
80Savage 2 is a good game, fairly original, focused on team play. The organization of clans where everybody knows their role adds to the excitement.
-
To sum things up, Savage 2 is an enjoyable experience, and even though the mix of genres brings nothing new to any of them, it is still well-implemented and fun to play.
-
While it isn't a next-generation title, the game will provide all the exciting gameplay, depth of strategy, and replay value that gamers expect in today's multiplayer-only titles.
-
Savage 2 is something of an anomaly in the current lineup of PC games, borrowing elements from Natural Selection, Planetside, Hellgate: London and others. Whether you're a RTS fan, a FPS junkie, or you're looking for the next great competitive action RPG, you'll find something to like in Savage 2.

73If you can get past the steep learning curve, Savage 2 can be a lot of fun, whether you want to hack and slash or work with teammates on coordinating tactics. [May 2008, p.68]
-
70Huge, bold, but not particularly savage. [Apr 2008, p.68]
-
67Savage 2 isn't perfect -- squads are semirandomized smatterings of players unable to communicate or coordinate fluidly as of this writing, and the game can be overwhelming to new players -- but its ambition is matched only by the amount of fun you'll have playing.
-
60If anything, Savage 2 leaves us with the distinct impression that perhaps the gaming world just isn't ready for these two popular genres to join together in holy matrimony.
-
The commander of the troops can enjoy this unique game much more than one of the hapless folks bleeding on the field of battle. And amongst them being a mage beats being a grunt in almost every respect. The hand to hand combat is so fast and random that it's hard to feel satisfaction even when you are winning. [March 2008]
-
60The glitches and lag, however, are quite annoying, and the individual aspects of the title – FPS and RTS – just don't compare to other standalone games.
