For gearheads and RPG freaks, this is absolutely worth a look, and for everyone else, the creativity and holy-hell-they-make-a-game-about-that-stuff aspect might just make it worth the purchase price.

I don't think I've ever been as bored as I was playing Warship Gunner 2. [Apr 2006, p.124]
The major drawback of WG2 is that the game could have been accomplished on a PlayStation. Being a PS2 game, the detail on ships and overall graphics are not up to scratch. I would have liked to have seen more varied missions, maybe even some little men running around decks.

Warship Gunner 2 is definitely a step up from OG Warship Gunner in content, and the aiming system has been massively simplified so its less of a pain. Good warship games are hard to find, and if you still have a working PS2 (or buy it off PSN on a PS3), this game is definitely worth picking up. Think Ace Combat (except you know, you're in warships) style gameplay of hordes of enemies, and you have lots of bullets, but you get to build your own ship from a pretty solid selection of parts and variety. You can spend hours building a single ship. Technology in this game is pretty cool but energy/futuristic main weapons are quite underwhelming for what they bring to the table (except the super weapons and laser AA). Also one shortcoming is, in the late game, you will be shoehorned into playing a Battleship or Frigate. Carriers in this game for some reason are absolute trash, planes do no damage, and then immediately go get blown up. The only aircraft you'll find yourself using in this game most of the time are cargo helicopters to pick up secret mission loot hidden on the map. You like boats? You like shooting **** You like shooting **** with boats? Check out the game and don't forget emulators are worth a try if you don't like the price point. The original game last time I checked (Naval Ops: Warship Gunner) also goes for much cheaper than WG2 if you'd rather try that. Still a good game.

A lengthy strategy game with a fair learning curve. It’ll take you an hour to understand the controls and combat system; it could take twice as long to grasp the massive ship-building system.

It does, however, provide a completely unique mix of strategic planning, design optimization, and cathartic release, held together by an enjoyably loony mix of World War II aesthetics and high-tech, sci-fi tomfoolery.

GameShark
If you like arcade style combat games against hundreds of enemies at a time, and the ability to design your own ships then Warship Gunner 2 is a worthy edition to your PlayStation 2 library.

I was frustrated by the drawbacks in the title, especially the tiny text on the in-game radar as well as some of the differences in the tutorials between what was being described and what actually was on screen.

Unless you’re performing some mad experiment to actually bore someone to death, I’d definitely stay away from this one.
