Luckily for us gamers Winback 2's strong point is also the most important: gameplay. The team dynamic changes things up from other third-person offerings, and the advent of the report card and timed missions – while they do take some getting used to – help to set goals for players to strive.

Official Xbox Magazine UKAn old-fashioned shooter in both looks and gameplay, but done with enough conviction that you can be forgiving. [June 2006, p.58]

Had WinBack 2 been released in 2002/2003, it would have been far better received but as a full-priced game released in 2006 it has to be held to the same standards as other top notch software and it falls short.
-
The presentation of Project Poseidon also leaves much to be desired, with awkward and simplistic texturing, not to mention some downright asinine vocals.
-
The generic levels, poor audio, and sometimes downright confusing level objectives and bizarre CRT system become a little worse for wear.
-
For better or worse, there is a certain draw to this game, and I occasionally enjoyed myself, when I wasn't getting headaches from all the crate-ducking, getting killed again due to the excessively long reload animation, or exposing myself to enemy fire after a successful kill.

Winback 2: Project Poseidon seems like a game that started off with grand third-person shooter aspirations and then made a wrong turn and fell from the ranks of potentially good to merely average, at best. The storyline is predictable, and the missions bear a sameness after a bit.
