All in all, what Day of Reckoning 2 presents to us is a few tweaks to the original Day of Reckoning - some good, most bad.
-
Game InformerIf you're only a casual wrasslin' fan, is it worth checking out? Eh. Sorta. [Oct 2005, p.138]
-
The submission meter is the best new addition to gameplay, but the new stamina addition feels restrictive on fighting.
-
Unfortunately, this game, like most wrestling games, suffers from clipping issues, where chunks of people pass right through objects or even other people.
-
AceGamezIn more ways than ever, Reckoning 2 feels like an afterthought for the Yukes team to get one last Gamecube wrestler out there before they go out with what appears to be a real winner with "SmackDown vs. RAW 2006."
-
Yuke's has done a decent job of improving the GameCube franchise, but it is still playing catch-up with the "SmackDown" series.
-
The gorgeous graphics, broad character roster, large number of matches, and multiplayer action offer a ton of fun for players that can forgive technical flaws.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlySlightly better than last year's game, but it's still nothing special. [Oct 2005, p.119]
-
With minor gameplay upgrades and some significant graphical tweaks, Day of Reckoning 2 feels more like a patch than a true sequel. Then again, patches usually make games better. This one damages the gameplay and commits a huge oversight by failing to let players import their custom characters from the last game.
