As the title says, this isn't the best turn-based strategy I played, but it's not bottom of the bucket either. The second game doesn't feel right, it feels like it was included as an afterthought. That is no problem though because I paid $6 for the original M.A.X. I read about it on another site and was shocked a game this old wasn't abandonware yet, then I found it for sale and bought it. Don't regret that buy, the first game is 4-stars but just including the second game left a bad taste in my mouth and knocked the review down to 3, I wouldn't pay for M.A.X. 2 if I could help it.
