Official Nintendo Magazine UK
Good old-fashioned strategic action. [Mar 2008, p.68]
NZGamer
Its presentation is some of the best on the Wii and will silence those who feel that Nintendo doesn't know modern production values. However, at the same time the gameplay remains the simple and accessible stuff that has sold the console to the masses.

This is a game born for the Wiimote and Nunchuck and Kuju makes the best of it. [Dec 2007, p.76]
Cheat Code Central
The quality of the presentation, action-oriented battles, and solid multiplayer mode all add up to a game that is worth a recommendation. With little on the Wii these days aside from ports and mini-games, Battalion Wars 2 is a breath of fresh air.
Read Full Review >Da Gameboyz
With some pretty innovative and solid graphics, great sound and the inclusion of online support, this game is pretty much a must buy, especially for strategy fans looking for their fix on the Wii.
Read Full Review >GameDaily
The lack of off-line multiplayer is a shame. The presentation isn't perfect either but holds together just fine, with lots of explosive pandemonium.
Read Full Review >IGN
I really think that in terms of overall storyline, not to mention the variety of missions, soldiers, weapons and vehicles, this sequel has really one- upped its predecessor. When you additionally consider the mostly- intuitive controls, sleek presentation and fun online modes, you have the recipe for a great new installment to the sleeper franchise.
Read Full Review >GameSpy
Battalion Wars 2 boasts enjoyable storylines and presentation along with killer weapons and a dose of strategy. That gets a gold star in our book. Four, even.
Read Full Review >GameTap
Everything gels when I approach Battalion Wars 2 the way it’s meant to be played--slowly and methodically, like a real-time strategy game.
Read Full Review >Nintendojo
The game could stand to be fleshed out in the areas of multiplayer and including something for single players to do after the campaign is through, but what Battalion Wars includes out of the box is still quite fun to play.
Read Full Review >Gameplayer
Despite such tactical bugbears, this really is a fun game to play, and the lively atmosphere will keep you coming back for more.
Read Full Review >Gamer.nl
Battalion Wars 2 is, just like its predecessor, a decent game which has good online functionality next to its single player mode. The controls are smooth and the developer has made its own graphic uniqueness. The largest disadvantage about the game is that everything could be a bit more challenging.
Read Full Review >Zentendo
Wii controls do nothing to improve the game, but it's still classic Battalion Wars gameplay. A bit more depth in the strategy department, but overall the game is a bit easier and shorter than the original.
Read Full Review >PTGamers
Battalion Wars 2 is basically a straightforward action and strategy game, for those who intend to begin exploring the genre.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
Fan of the first? You'll probably have a blast online. [Jan 2008, p.38]
GameTrailers
Fans of the original can expect a bit more depth and look forward to testing their skills online, but it’s a shame that the single-player campaign amounts to skirmish, and not a war.
Read Full Review >Play.tm
Sure there's frustration and flaws to be found if you go looking for them, and they're definitely enough to stop me slapping a huge score at the end and recommending it to everyone, but if you can accept it for what it is and don't look too hard at the ropy bits there's a hell of a lot of fun to be had here if you give it a chance.
Read Full Review >n-Revolution Magazine UK
An improvement, but not quite enough. [Issue#17, p.78]
Games Master UK
There's an awful lot wrong here, so respect to the good bits for being so enjoyable. [Feb 2008, p.61]
Maxi Consolas (Portugal)
The simplicity of all its elements is kind of a trademark for this Battalion Wars. But that can also be held against the game, because it could use a little more depth. But if you think of it for what it is and not for what it could have been you can enjoy it properly. [Jan 2008]
The Wiire
A solid offering that requires both reflexes and strategy skills. If you're a a strategy enthusiast looking for something of faster pace, or a trigger-happy gamer looking for a bit more depth and humor, do consider this game.
Read Full Review >PALGN
While the game does suffer from a few niggling issues, there is nothing else really like it on the Wii, and is a big improvement over the original. If you're into stategic warfare, give Battalion Wars 2 a go.
Read Full Review >GamePro
Battalion Wars 2 is a solid title with a hearty single player mode, a decent amount of unlockable content and a fun online component.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Power
The series' transition to the Wii has produced mixed results. [Dec 2007, p.82]
Kombo
In the end, the formula is shallow and the experience marred by too many small problems. That said, it is a likable and fun Wii title that merges qualities from the action and RTS genres into a one hybrid genre.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
This sequel to Nintendo's console wargame wages a much more successful campaign on free time.
Read Full Review >Armchair Empire
Once one gets past the controls and somewhat cold, distant storytelling, what remains makes for a pretty good time.
Read Full Review >Games Radar (in-house)
Allowing the Wii remote to more closely simulate a computer mouse would have increased the game's fun factor even more, but after spending enough time on the game's campaign, gamers are encouraged to delve into multiplayer, where the price tag pays for itself over and over again.
Read Full Review >Cubed3
The sheer variety of playable units combined with a lightweight, paper-rock-scissors-esque strategy component allows for simple fun without the intense learning-curve of a more sophisticated strategy title.
Read Full Review >VideoGamer
As an action game spin-off from the highly tactical Advance Wars series, Battalion Wars II does its job, but a number of issues with the depth of the command system and the ability to rely on brute force over tactics let the game down.
Read Full Review >Video Game Talk
Fortunately the sequel is just as good, if not slightly better than, the original game. It finds a home on the Wii and fans of the strategy genre should definitely give a spin to see how Kuju Entertainment developed it.
Read Full Review >NTSC-uk
Battalion Wars 2 is a good game with some minor issues that do not detract from its overall quality or enjoyment.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
A substantial improvement on the original: better-paced, a bit funnier and with the much-needed addition of online multiplayer.
Read Full Review >1UP
Battalion Wars 2 flounders because it lacks both the comic mischief that make cartoons like Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner so much fun and the tactical depth to be taken as a serious war game. The no-man's land in between isn't a place where you want to hang around too long.
Read Full Review >games(TM)
Few games offer such an entertaining mix of action and strategy, and we’d recommend Battalion Wars 2 to all Nintendo Wii owners looking for a quick fix between the really big first-party releases. [Jan 2008, p.116]
Edge Magazine
BW2 is a strategy game that doesn't demand much strategy. That doesn't mean it's not sometimes enjoyable, but it's nothing more than an occasional diversion. [Jan 2008, p.84]

Benjamin B. gave it an8:
Funny game. Quite entertaining. I like the visuals, sounds and gameplay. but the campaign has too many mission with a lack of choice. most of the mission have to be accomplished in a certain way. I also miss some more coop-missions.
Josiah H. gave it a9:
I liked the game, but you couldn't skip those frieking tacky CUTSCENES! also, durring Wi-Fi play, some cheaters would shut their power off and cut the connection 3 seconds before they lost.Cheaters. By the way if you happen to play against me on wi-fi, my screen name is "war-pig"
DJ T. gave it a3:
Horrible Horrible game... It's one of those siituations where you think this game could be really cool. But a terrible camera combined with the sense that you're playing a tutorial for the whole game makes this one of the worst games ever. Don't waste your time with this one.
David R. gave it a9:
Campaign is sorta dull,but still fun,tons of classes,and online play wil keep me entertained for a long time to come.Unlockables are just the icing on the cake.
Jeremy G. gave it a9:
Excellent. Easilly one of the best Wii games out there. The only real bad thing about this is that it lacks offline multiplayer. But since nearly everyone has internet support for their wii, or at least can get a wi-fi adapter, It's pretty inconsequential. Solid single player. Solid multiplayer. Solid game.
Samuel M. gave it a9:
Great Game! My only problem with is is the lack of multi player levels.
J gave it an8:
My first time playing a Battalion Wars game and I find it super fun. Multiplayer is the best. Awesome missions to complete that aren't just "capture the flag" or Deathmatch. Co-op multiplay is my favorite. The game overall is pretty easy to control with a large arsenal of soldiers and vehicles. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for something different. I would agree that they should of had more Mouse-like controls. Single-player mode is fun too but should be longer. Multiplayer is Awesome!
