    Unless you’re performing some mad experiment to actually bore someone to death, I’d definitely stay away from this one.

    Warship Gunner 2 is definitely a step up from OG Warship Gunner in content, and the aiming system has been massively simplified so its less ofWarship Gunner 2 is definitely a step up from OG Warship Gunner in content, and the aiming system has been massively simplified so its less of a pain. Good warship games are hard to find, and if you still have a working PS2 (or buy it off PSN on a PS3), this game is definitely worth picking up.

    Think Ace Combat (except you know, you're in warships) style gameplay of hordes of enemies, and you have lots of bullets, but you get to build your own ship from a pretty solid selection of parts and variety. You can spend hours building a single ship.

    Technology in this game is pretty cool but energy/futuristic main weapons are quite underwhelming for what they bring to the table (except the super weapons and laser AA). Also one shortcoming is, in the late game, you will be shoehorned into playing a Battleship or Frigate. Carriers in this game for some reason are absolute trash, planes do no damage, and then immediately go get blown up. The only aircraft you'll find yourself using in this game most of the time are cargo helicopters to pick up secret mission loot hidden on the map.

    You like boats? You like shooting **** You like shooting **** with boats? Check out the game and don't forget emulators are worth a try if you don't like the price point. The original game last time I checked (Naval Ops: Warship Gunner) also goes for much cheaper than WG2 if you'd rather try that. Still a good game.    … Full Review »

    One of the best gems on the PS2, it's surprising that a 3rd game has yet to be announced for the PS3 (or even the Wii).

    While not a    One of the best gems on the PS2, it's surprising that a 3rd game has yet to be announced for the PS3 (or even the Wii).

    While not a graphical feat like "Front Mission 4" or "Ace Combat", only a fool would think that graphics make the game.

    Sure, the learning curve is high for new players, but given this is the closet navel version of "Morrowind" I've ever played, it's well worth the schooling.

    I just wish there was some kind of painting aspect to the ships, blowing the crap out of my enemies in a lavender battleship with red trim would be a kick.    … Full Review »
