Nostalgic fun
This is an old-school "strategy" game and one of those niche products that sometimes came as a free addition glued to the cover of a gaming magazine. (The nostalgia is definitely strong with this one.) The arguably best piece is the humor delivered during the intermissions, which do have a great entertainment factor. While the unit graphics and voices were already dated by the time the game was released, the soundtrack, on the other hand, is a masterpiece you are certain to enjoy. It alone might be worth shelling out 2 bucks if you can get the game on a sale. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for the actual gameplay. Your enemy in KKND2 will simply continue to produce the same units and send them down the same scripted paths until it runs out of resources. Meaning, to call anything that happens a "strategy" is a bit of a stretch. The way to beat a mission is thus usually rather obvious and the only thing that might stop you from doing just that is the insane number of units the enemy has right from the start, thus forcing you to advance slowly. While it may be true that other titles of the time had similar short comings, KKND2 is one of those games that often enough feels like it isn't even trying. Last but not least, since this is an "old-school" game, there are ye good olde cheat codes available, adding to the already great nostalgia factor (and reducing potential frustration).
