Review by Dusan Katilovic, 81%. "The Edge of Chaos is a very demanding game, which will provide sufficient fun only to the most consistent players. It will take you quite some time and nerves to finish it."

Review by Jakub Wojnarowicz, 79%. "It is an entertaining and worthwhile game, especially for fans of the series or space sims in general. Its linear campaign sticks out, unfortunately, and makes it feel unfinished."

Review by Andrew Bub, 4/5. "With Independence War 2 the space shooter is back and in a big way."

Review by David Washington, 4/5. "Edge of Chaos has achieved what all sequels attempt to do: become better than the first."

Review by Darth Binky, 85%. "Overall, Independence War 2 is a cool looking, entertaining, and fairly realistic space sim."

Review by snark, 5/5. "Just plain stunning and delivers on looks, action, plot, playability, and sheer size - it can feel like you're throwing yourself into an absolute ocean of a game."

Review by Aaron Stanton, 3/5. "The lack of adjustability simply means that the game will have limited replay value, but the campaign missions are well built, nicely crafted, and make it a worthy game."

Review by Desslock, 89%. "Particle Systems has successfully created the type of game that fans of the genre have been waiting for years to play."

Review by Tim McConnaughy, 81%. "The game is very hit and miss at times, but all things considered, I enjoyed it."

Review by Rgerbino, 85%. "Overall a solid visually striking title with an involving storyline and a whole lotta game to battle through."

Review by Steve Butts, 82%. "For those who have the patience for it, IW2 delivers a truly epic experience."

Review by David VanDyk, 85%. "It's got a few quirks here and there, but overall I think it to be a very solid game that the average space-simmer will thoroughly enjoy going through."

Review by Gary Whitta, 80%. "Seasoned space pilots will be in heaven, but newbies will get smoked."

Review by Josh Horowitz, 4/5. "While I found the learning curve a bit too steep, the controls somewhat cumbersome, and the save-game system annoying, overall Independence War 2 shines in many places and certainly deserves a look."

Review by Lee Cieniawa, 89%. "The long timeframes of learning to be a top-flight space pirating pilot will reward you in the end as you complete the storyline and prove a proficient adversary to all those who dare challenge you for online gaming superiority."

Review by Marc Saltzman, 9/10. "One of those rare computer games I'll keep on my hard drive long after I've submitted this review. But ... forget about picking up this two-disc set if you don't have patience and a solid flight stick."
