If you haven't played MA, then grab this one for all the bonus items. If you already have the first MA, then you'll only need this if you want 6 extra characters.
-
The actual gameplay has changed imperceptibly in Mutant Academy 2, but six new characters and six new stages make it feel like a much more complete fighting game.

Official U.S. Playstation MagazineThe game just lacks the depth to keep hardcore fighting-game fans interested. [Nov 2001, p.167]
-
Die hard X-Men fans should enjoy the game, if only because the characters remain faithful to their comic book origins...As a fighting game, though, MA2 is nothing special, as all the features have been done before and in fact better in other games.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyThe AI is so completely non-existent that the old "whack one button and win" strategy still works wonders. [Nov 2001, p.220]
-
The controls are still the most frustrating part of the game: They’re sloppy, inexact, and derivative of Street Fighter's with a dash of Tekken's thrown in.
