    One of the best videogames ever created, something that should forever be remembered.

    Version 2 is essentially the same game with new material scattered along the outskirts. [Nov 2001, p.124]

    For all these great additions, there's that black cloud of worry when the concerns of lag, timing out, and cheating come into the equation.

    A good game, and it does offer new online gameplay, unfortunately you'll have to pay a monthly fee to access any of it.
  6. Core Magazine

    The hardcore will find this game irresistable, once again foregoing sleep and a social life in the never-ending quest for peace, love, and a +99 Red Pistol.

    With its better balance, new features, and addictive gameplay, PSO Version 2 stands out as one of the last great games for the system.
  8. GamePro

    The whole experience feels more like a dedicated group of fans got hold of a level editor rather than a fully equipped second effort.

    If you haven’t tried this series yet, you are really missing out on the nicotine/booze/sugar/sex of video gaming. [Nov 2001, p.214]
