Easy to pick up, fun to play, and highly addictive anyway you cut, slice and dice it.

Armchair Empire
Looks great, tactics work, easy interface and camera, and the ability to easily customize your Mech load-out all add up to a solid game.

Gamers' Temple
An excellent and enjoyable tactical combat game for those who don't enjoy base building or resource gathering.

84
GameSpy
Universally better than the original game while adding enough stuff to keep it from being just an interface upgrade.

Gamezilla!
Anyone who has an interest in Military strategy with a whole lot of sci-fi thrown in should definitely go buy a copy of MechCommander 2, youll get your money's worth from the amount of playing time youll invest.

Voodoo Extreme
A polished product that improves, in almost every respect, on its predecessor.

Game Revolution
A very solid game. What it isn't is a very innovative game. It does everything it has to and does it well, but it doesn't do anything new.

Gamer's Pulse
The graphics may be a bit lacking, and it may run a bit slow (I'd really hate to imagine a machine near the system reqs), but it's a blast.

IGN
The game is buggy as all hell... (but) I had a blast playing it and it's one of the few games I've played recently that I genuinely want to go back and finish.

GamePen
A fun game that has no serious flaws except for horrendously long loading times.

Next Generation Magazine
The eye-catching graphics, solid sound effects, easy interface, and some nice multiplayer options more than make up for missing skirmishes. [Nov 2002, p.113]

Adrenaline Vault
Its graphics, sound, and interface are excellent, but sadly deficiencies still exist in its artificial intelligence and its linear gameplay which is devoid of a skirmish mode or of a precise system of attack control.

GamePro
Handsome and smoothly executed.

GameSpot
Those simply looking for a visually impressive, enjoyable real-time strategy game set in the BattleTech universe should find that MC 2 fits that description well.

Electric Playground
While some details such as heat management and precise targeting have been glossed over a mite heavily for BattleTech fans' tastes, overall Mech Commander 2 bestows a new lease on life upon the esteemed franchise.

71
ActionTrip
A technically polished title which made amends for all of the flaws the original game had, yet which is still far from appealing or capable of holding gamers' attention, and I'm speaking even of the hard-core BattleTech fans.

70
Yahoo! Games
It may seem like a minor gripe, but I still would have liked to see a skirmish mode.

Computer Games Magazine
Good, and worth the time of BattleTech fans, but unless Microsoft fixes the performance issues it will never be a great game.
