    A beautiful but flawed game, with easy controls and imaginative design marred by a surplus of platform hopping puzzles and a disappointing finale. It's also rather short.

    The puzzles are utterly simple, the gameplay is too linear, and we finished it in about 10 hours.

    Some good, some bad and no ugly, "FAKK2" is fun in parts and frustrating in others, and ultimately disappoints only because it could have been great -- more creative level design, more missions and a few weeks of bug testing could have made this a winner.

    "Heavy Metal" magazine is known, well known in fact, for way-over-the-top action, violence, and gore... There is none of that here.

    There certainly is potential in the game, but too many things about the game make it feel unfinished: the lack of distinct monsters, the degeneration of the level design as the game progressed, and the small amount of gameplay in the box.

    These technical problems, in addition to its short length and inconsistent quality, make Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2 the most frustrating kind of game: It's only decent, when it could have been great.

    An underrated gem.
    Cool gameplay, bad platforming. and a bunch of annoying enemies that drive you insane.

    Before there was a push for female main protagonists, this was entirely new territory at the time. Yes you're a bikini-clad protagonist, but still. They also include a pregnant ally as well, which is seen somehow as even more nonexistent even by modern games.    … Full Review »

    Definitely good title. Game may be old, but still good to play. Big point for Julie Strain as game character.
