Wing Commander 2 Articles Abound

To further commemorate this past week's WC2 anniversary, Music_Guru has unearthed a second trove of articles that explore the period just before and after the game's release. There's a whole lot of reading ahead, so let's get to it! First up is a a single page from the May 1991 issue of Zero based in the UK. It's a brief preview that showcases Thrakhath's Bloodfang from the WC2 demo from a head on angle. Once the game is released, the December 1991 issue of Zero gets the full review. It's full of polished screenshots and praise, but it gets a few points off for being skewed more towards being an interactive movie rather than a game (just wait until they see WC3/4!). In the middle of the pack is a German review of WC2 from the December 1991 issue of Aktueller Software Markt. The ratings are on a very interesting scale - to 12 points rather than a more conventional 5 or 10. Fortunately, Vengeance of the Kilrathi scores a 10 or 11 on every mark.
