Even the humor and motley crew of heroes and villains makes Gunbird 2 a fun, but short-lived experience.

GamerWeb Sega
I haven't had this much fun with a game in a long, long time. It may be short, but it offers more challenge in those seven stages than most games do in 20 hours.

Planet Dreamcast
It's fun and replayable -- what more could anyone want?

Game Fan
Sometimes, you just need to blow stuff up. You'll have a hard time finding a better game on the Dreamcast to satisfy those brutal urges than the delightfully cartoony, but fiercely addictive Gunbird 2.

IGN
Other than playing to improve your score and having a friend who wants to play with you, Gunbird 2's replay value is definitely on the short side.

GamePro
The game can be really difficult, but, thankfully, you can choose from seven ratings, ranging from "Very Hard" to "Baby."

Hot Games
A Pile of Shoot. The control is almost flawless. Maneuvering your ship isn't the problem -- the crowded action is the problem.

Happy Puppy
GunBird's the word, standing out as one of the best finger-crampin' exercises since the Rubik's Cube.
67
Game Revolution
The game is really, really hard, but that's the nature of this genre. I just wish that there were more rewards for my efforts; it feels almost pointless to try so hard.

CNET Gamecenter
Because Gunbird 2 is such an insanely hard game, casual gaming fans are warned to stay away. Only hard-core fans of the genre need apply.

If a good 16-bit shooter is what you're looking for, you could do a lot better elsewhere.

Gaming Age
We are left with a mediocre title that only keeps shooter fans mildly entertained till we can get our hands on "Gradius III" for the PS2.

Maxim Online
Sometimes the visual assault becomes so chaotic, you may lose track of your on-screen location. Our advice: Fly blind and keep on shooting.

DC Swirl
Too short, too hard and not packed with the replayable goodies one expects a home port to deliver these days.

Daily Radar
All flash and no substance, Gunbird 2 is too hard, too short and too boring to even bother looking at.
