A thrilling and beautiful RTS that sucks you into its world of war and carnage, shakes you up with its intensity, plot-twists and booming aural assaults, then spits you back out into reality as the end credits roll. It's by no means a masterpiece, but it is one of the most tactical, rewarding and entertaining RTS games money can currently buy.

Extremely visually appealing and mentally stimulating.

One of the most underrated strategic games. I finished its campaign five times at minimum. This game is definitely not perfect, but it has exellent story . It will take you few minutes to get used to camera in this game, gameplay is excelent and best part of this game is story for sure. 8/10

Графика на момент выхода была передовая. В то время все стратегии более или менее удачно перебирались в 3D.

While the graphics and gameplay are nice, the game's true strength is in its emotionally moving story, something that so many strategy games lack. Highly recommended even 8 years later.

This game will become the benchmark by which all such titles will be measured. The game’s AI is strong enough to present a challenge and the lack of base and harvest management is wonderfully refreshing.

A brilliant game. Even though at no point is the Terran Empire playable, the Virons and their unique melding technology (two units can be ‘melded’ together to create a different unit) makes up for this loss by adding a new level to the strategy.

Best graphics strategy series. Always in my memory. I don't think about gameplay because of its really stunning graphics (good optimised either). Graphic measure. Iconic. I regret this game series died. (same as GC1)

The game is perfect, exellent story, good characters, lots of units and shooting, just perfect. Camera is great when you used to it, gameplay is 100% pure fun and best part of this game is story ....I will say no more, play it...

One of the best Real-time strategy games that I have played this year. Though it does not resemble it in any way, it’s the best since "Rise of Nations," and it’s the most entertaining, adrenal gland-blasting strategy game I’ve played since "Starcraft."

A giant leap ahead in the series offering players realistic terrain and well balanced units without the need to micromanage every aspect of the game system.

Although I personally prefer to have myself a nice little base I can call home, with turret defenses tracking the moves of all my enemies before they even see my base, this was a nice step away from the norm.

Ground Control II isn’t going to redefine the genre, but it’s a solid entry with a few interesting tweaks and innovations, making it good enough for any gamer looking for a fast-paced, story-driven, real-time strategy title.

The real missed opportunity in Ground Control II is that such great visuals are built into a game design that smothers you in too much busy work to enjoy them. [Sept 2004, p.64]
