Editorial Review: Similar to Syphon Filter for the PlayStation, Fighting Force 2 puts players in the role of a cyber-enhanced cop of the future that is trained to infiltrate evil research and development facilities, destroy their work, and clear out any and all opposition.
Fighting Force 2 has some of the biggest levels around, giving main character Hawk Manson the opportunity to explore multiple floors, smash through walls, and break almost anything in search of keys to new areas. Levels are filled with enemies whom Hawk can defeat with one of 20 weapons including rifles, knives, and sledgehammers. Weapons can be attained through the destruction of cabinets, soda machines, and crates.
Originally a PlayStation game, the transition to the Dreamcast hasn't exactly been a smooth one. Frankly, Fighting Force 2 has been transformed from a good game into an average one due to this version's poor player controls. Improved graphics are welcome, but now it's harder to position Hawk for a fight. The PlayStation version is definitely the more desirable of the two. --Robb Guido
Pros:
Improved graphics over the PlayStation version
Cons:
Mucky controls take away from what was a good game

Rating: - Good Idea, Very Flawed Game
To start off, I'll say the first Fighting Force is a decent beat 'em up game for PS and N64 and it was a fun game with a friend. But this FF is a different story. Eidos/Core tried to change FF into a more story oriented game and kind of mimic other games a bit with a mastermind one man army. So they threw away the idea of a team of a "Fighting Force" and along with it the fun co-op gameplay.
Fighting Force 2 has very good ideas, decent graphics on the DC version and an OK plot, but it suffers really bad on just about everything from bad controls, horrid sound, frustration, repetitiveness, unclear objectives and etc. These bad things will really tick you off and you may wanna smash your controller on the ground.
The concepts are cool though. You can use lots of cool weapons like in the original and you can smash everything, which is always a good thing in my book. But it gets repetitive and you'll grow tired halfway through the levels.
All in all. This game can be fun, but you may grow tired after ten minutes of playing it and it will tick you off quite a bit. If you like Eidos/Core stuff, you may enjoy this...a little bit. I did(a little bit).

I have played this game with the playstation one and this game to me is more of an adult game due to the nature of the game

Rating: - Worst game I have ever played.
Eidos has the Unique label of making the BEST game I have ever played, Deus Ex, and the WORST BY FAR game I have ever touched, this Fighting Force 2. Camera angles are horrible, gameplay is boring and horrible, story is horrible, sound is horrible, graphics are horrible, do you see a pattern here? Most EIDOS games are not worth buying, and I DID RETURN this game. It insults my position as a buyer looking for a good game. (If I was only a tester for this before they released it!!)
