Reception

The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings.^[2] Next Generation, however, said, "Will the new M.A.X. satisfy die-hard fans of the original? Probably not. Some players may be hoping for more than the new game delivers. But with or without die-hards, M.A.X. 2 is a solid combat/strategy game that is bound to make numerous new friends."^[10]
