Even if you loved the first game, you'll hate the second.

The Good
Nothing

The Bad
After playing the first Cyberstorm I was looking forward to it's sequel. However I was very disappointed! They went from a standard Hex type battlefield to a Square battle field. This of course plays havoc with movement, shields etc. It did NOT feel like the previous game. In fact it felt like a cheap rip off!

The Bottom Line
Don't Buy it! I feel like I wasted my money on it!

Very basic

The Good
Cyberstorm 2 has good graphics, though they scale down enough to run on my 233. The real-time more is useful for "sure-thing" battles. The difficulty level is adjusted through sliders.

The Bad
Formulaic ending setting up sequel. Fighting corporations instead of Cybirds. Ending is incredibly hard, unless you bend the rules.

The Bottom Line
Try using it to get others (or you) interested in BattleMech. The combination of real-time mode, easier to understand square based system, and slider based difficulty makes the game easy to get into.
