Resources:

• Action Trip   [rate] [review]
  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."

• Computer Games Online   [rate] [review]
  Review by Benjamin E. Sones, 3.5/5. "The most frustrating space sim you'll ever love."

• Firing Squad   [rate] [review]
  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."

• Game Club Central   [rate] [review]
  Review by David Washington, 4/5. "Edge of Chaos has achieved what all sequels attempt to do: become better than the first."

• Game Raiders   [rate] [review]
  Review by Darth Binky, 85%. "Overall, Independence War 2 is a cool looking, entertaining, and fairly realistic space sim."

• Gameplanet   [rate] [review]
  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."

• Games Domain   [rate] [review]
  Review by James Kay, 4/5. "If you're a hardcore space simmer, you won't find better out there - it really is as simple as that. On the other hand if you're new to this flying spaceships malarkey, I-War 2 is going to bite."

• Games First   [rate] [review]
  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."

• GameSpot   [rate] [review]
  Review, 82%. "IW2 may not have you addicted to an extreme, but it's something you can go back to and get really immersed in."

• GameSpot   [rate] [review]
  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."

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

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

• IGN   [rate] [review]
  Review by Steve Butts, 82%. "For those who have the patience for it, IW2 delivers a truly epic experience."

• Invisible Dream   [rate] [review]
  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."

• PC Gamer   [rate] [review]
  Review by Gary Whitta, 80%. "Seasoned space pilots will be in heaven, but newbies will get smoked."

• Tech TV   [rate] [review]
  Review by Andrew Bub, 4/5. "With Independence War 2 the space shooter is back and in a big way."

• The Adrenaline Vault   [rate] [review]
  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."

• The Armchair Empire   [rate] [review]
  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."

• The Electric Playground   [rate] [review]
  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."
