Reception
MechWarrior 2 was critically well received. GameSpot praised the game for its high resolution graphics and its requirement of strategy and planning from the player. The control complexity was likened to that of a flight simulator. GameRevolution also noted that the controls were not overly complex for a simulation, and a throttle-control joystick was particularly intuitive. NetMech had some problems with stability and smoothness. PC Gamer US awarded it a score of 93/100. In 1996, Computer Gaming World ranked it as the 27th best game of all time, calling it "an amazingly immersive experience."
