    Makes me wish more games featured adult-themed language and situations, because in this case, they actually add to the gritty feel and setting we've been delivered. [Dec 2003, p.107]
  2. The graphics are beautiful and along with the sound effects and musical score really immerse you in the game.
  3. What with graphics that are no longer state-of-the-art, no multiplayer component, a less-than-totally compelling story, and combat that is sometimes frustrating, there is a lot missing here.

    The action is still highly distinctive fun, though, and for those in search of a challenge, Aquanox 2 definitely comes through. [Jan 2004, p.85]

    A beautiful game. Much like its predecessor, AquaNox 2 sets a new high water mark (heh, heh) in graphics. High end PC gamers are in for a real treat. It doesn't hurt that the game plays well too. Yet the single player campaign just isn't all that long.

    Unless you were a diehard fan of the original, I'd say give this one a pass.

    A lobotomized first-person shooter. Invisible walls and glass ceilings abound throughout the briny deep, ensnaring players in a boring series of follow-the-leader and circle-strafing style stages. [Dec 2003, p.144]

I really don't get it ...when this game came out I played it all the way through - twice, because it was so much fun. ;)
    And until today I have finished it probably another 10 times.
    It really is a timeless classic for me that never grows old and I am really hoping for part 3. There is still so much potential in that universe.

    This game is very underrated. The story, characters and dialogues are clearly adult-themed and dark. Like Aquanox 1 it shows well the madnessThis game is very underrated. The story, characters and dialogues are clearly adult-themed and dark. Like Aquanox 1 it shows well the madness of a post apocalyptic underwater society. The dialogues are very hilarious too (at least in the German Original version)

    The gameplay is solid, fast and furious. But there are not many ships too choose from. However you get plenty of weapons.

    The graphics are nice and fit well the dark atmosphere. Sound is superb too.

    The only real cons for this game are the linearity (altough it does not disturb me that much, it is a story-driven game) and the presentation. The story is told via pictures of the speaking characters and dialogue. It is not that great. However sometimes a render video plays.

    Overall it is a great, adult game which small flaws.

But in this sequel is everything even bigger. Sadly it's doing that game boring. Story is so predictable and so unnecessarily long. Full of strange characters with one main who successfully supplementing all stupid conversations. At least there are still some good fights. 61/100 Expand

    A little better graphics than its predecessor but even shorter missions and more awkward combat system.
    Again you'll spend your time waiting
    A little better graphics than its predecessor but even shorter missions and more awkward combat system.
    Again you'll spend your time waiting for a mission to load or reading the lengthy explanations.
    The computer voice that should help you in finding your next target speaks only during combat, you will never be able to understand what happens, begin concentrated on the fight while the voice is covered by the explosions.
