Gameplay

Unlike its predecessor, AeroWings 2 deals with air combat training (being, in that sense, a simulation of a simulation), rather than aerial stunts.

Reception

The game received "average" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] Jeff Lundrigan of NextGen said that the game "succeeds on its own terms. It's just a matter of whether those terms appeal to you or not."[12] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 32 out of 40 for the original game,[5] and 30 out of 40 for the updated Dreamcast version.[6]
