If you liked the original you'll love this one! It is a much expanded and improved game. It's everything that the original was but so much more. If you are not familiar with the first one it is a first-person A-RPG that has you taking on the persona of a robot or A.I.M. The many new improvements start with the world. Not that the first world wasn't big, but This one is immense and has under ground caves that are very fun to explore. As with the first game this one has a cool sci-fi feel that is as good a novel. If you are into Asimov, or other like author and the game genre I would say get it!

It is like the first one, except in this one u can make ur own clan. If u have to choose between this one and the first one, its better to play this one because after playing the first one, this one doesnt feel much different despite its improvements

AIM 2 is a fairly well crafted sequel to AIM. Offering large expansive environments for the player to explore and make fairly meaningful choices in. The combat in AIM 2 feels a fair bit faster then it did in AIM, while not a detracting or favorable change it is noteworthy enough to mention. However the combat is still engaging enough to be fun, and complex enough for the player to develop a unique combat style to his/her liking.

What stops this from being a 5 out of 5 is that while the game engine has aged quite well. The game relies upon too many of its predecessors resources which feel dated and ignorant now.

Overall though this game series I heartily recommend to any game looking for an immersive singleplayer experience.

This game is a bit more complicated than A.I.M but you can feel that there is a lot more frredom in the way you play. the game is also more challenging and you can be destroyed very fast if you are not carefull. I love this game and i still play when i am bored with other games.

It's all a bit Alice in Wonderland to begin with....

But if you persist and invest some time this is actually a little (if slightly unpolished at time) gem of a game. Although 'little' is quite literally the wriong word. Loads to explore, loads of bits to find.... give it a go. 4/5

I thought long about to get this game and now im glad that i did it!

There are no informations aviable about the game, no english website, nothing and the manual is a joke, alot of important features are not explained well.

Visuals:

They are "ok", up to "good". The gliders look very well and the terrain textures are nice and sharp. There are also alot of different sectors = different terrains. Explosions could be better, they just look to simple.

Sound + Musik:

Nothing special on the sound, its fine but nothing special. Nice Weaponsounds, but no voice acting.

The best thing in the game for me :D. Its techno/trance and i just love it.

Gameplay:

You know the game "Elite"? Thats it, just at ground. There are several sectors 10+ and you need about 15 Minutes just to fly from west to east thought one(!) sector. You can do whatever you want... destroy gliders...collecting new mechminds (glider pilots) or destroying them (very difficult). You can also trade or just look around and do missions. There are ALOT of different gliders, there are combat gliders, trading ones and courier (fast ones). than there are mechanical and biologic gliders (they are able to regenerate).

Just one warning...the game is HARD and i mean freaking hard... i had to switch to easy difficult or its just to hard. With the first combat glider, you are destroyed in about 4-5 seconds if the enemy glider hits you fully. You need alot of skill to aim right and to evade the enemy attacks.

The flightfeeling is similar to the game "Battlezone 2" its actually fun to fly around, because the gliders act very realistic.

Hope i could help

I was on the fence about this game, simply because I really had a tough time finding any information about it. After making the purchase, I've decided it was indeed well worth the money.

IMPORTANT TIP FOR VISTA USERS: If you run Windows Vista, you'll probably encounter an issue with the game hanging at a certain point (after the training is completed). To get around this, use program compatitbility mode set for Win 98 / ME. No other mode made a difference for me.

Is it fun? Oh yes. I had to lower the mouse sensitivity a bit, but the action is fast and furious. There are tons of weapons (dozens of radically different guns, bombs, mines) and lots of ways to upgrade the many gliders you can buy.

You can create your own powerful army of gliders, take over bases, convince other mechmind pilots to join you and more. Great fun.

So is it an RPG? Sure. There is an interesting story to follow, the chance to build up your very own clan (if you want), order your clan-mates to follow you around in battle, do some trading, and a lot more.

HINT: Use the "`" (tilde) key to give orders to the glider you have targeted, including your own clan gliders. You can convince other gliders this way as well if you have enough energy (money). Also, the F3 key will put you in third-person mode.

THE CONS: There is zero English support for this game that I've found. The official English support forum is flooded with spambots and no one asking or answering questions. Yet. Maybe one of us could create a forum ...
