"AI WAR 2 is the type of game that would normally be very good. The concept and guerrilla warfare are both interesting ideas. However, this just doesn't really click or feel that interesting. Given players have access to so much stuff from the beginning, there is no sense of progression which might be the largest killer, if not the steep learning curve. Some might really enjoy it, but general strategy players won't want to hop through all the hoops."

About

Airwolf 2 is a fast-paced side-scrolling shooter where you control a futuristic helicopter battling alien forces. You fly through dense environments collecting power-ups like laser beams and missiles to upgrade your weapon loadout. The game supports two players locally, making it a rare co-op option for 8-bit systems. Combat is twitchy and direct with simple controls focused on rapid movement and firepower management. Despite its 1987 release, the game remains a cult favorite for its aggressive pacing and chaotic dogfights. It runs on a mix of Commodore and Amstrad systems, showcasing the era's hardware capabilities. The lack of story depth doesn't hurt its replayability, players often compare it to a chaotic arcade cabinet brought to home consoles. Its multiplayer option was ahead of its time, though modern play sessions usually end in mutual missile spam.
