Reviews

The game ends up feeling like one of those really impressive interactive simulators in a museum that’s been ported over to PC rather than something fully-fledged that takes advantage of the platform. It’s tough to recommend Carrier Command 2 to anyone unless they can regularly organize teams of 4-8 players, as the single-player simply isn’t enough to carry the game through a multitude of frustrations.
