The second game in the Metal Max series. Originally released in 1993 for SNES, it was later ported to the Game Boy Advance in 2003. Then, in 2011, it received more substantial Updated Re Release in the form of Metal Max 2: Reloaded for Nintendo DS, which utilizes the refined gameplay of Metal Max 3 and adds far more contents.Just like the first entry in the series, the game is mostly open-ended and non-linear, with the player given much freedom to decide where to go and what missions to do in whichever order.The player takes on the role of a young protege under the guidance of a famous soldier called Maria. Maria's team was hired to protect the village of Modo from the Grapplers who regularly kidnap people for their cruel experiments. Unfortunately, the commander of the Grapplers, Ted Broiler, wipes out Maria and her group and the protagonist is the sole survivor. Nursed back to health by the girl named Irit, the protege embarks on the journey to destroy the Grapplers.

Darker and Edgier: This game starts out with a Hopeless Boss Fight against The Dragon. It goes bad and Maria, the protagonist's Parental Substitute gets killed in action. It's definitely darker than the original Metal Max, where your parents are always alive and you can even talk with them in the home. Also, you will see more suffering and oppressed citizens throughout the game.

Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: While you can create companions of your choice in the remake, the potential teammates in the original game (and still available in the remake) were an incompetent female soldier whom you have to revive twice before she realizes she needs help, a punky mechanic who is jailed for tinkering with one of the Grapplers' tanks, and an intelligent dog with a bazooka mount.

No Cure for Evil: Averted for the actual winnable fight against Ted Broiler. He will use a healing item that completely restores the health when his HP is depleted to less than half. It gets even worse in the DS remake where he will do this twice. Also, Bias Brad regains pretty much all of his health each turn unless you find the way to turn off his Cyclotron.

Anti-Frustration Features
 Metal Max 2 (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3
comment
Anti-Frustration Features: While the DS remake uses the same engine as Metal Max 3, it refines the gameplay elements from that game to make the overall experience smoother for players. Examples include: Your characters can move in a diagonal direction. Hunter Magic skill is passive instead of active so hunters can fire their human weapons inside the vehicle as much as they want. Most skills for soldiers are usable on bikes as well as on foot so soldiers do not need to get off from their vehicles to use their skills if they are riding bikes. Each character can select a subclass and learn skills from other classes to augment his/her strengths further or cover his/her weaknesses. If you pick the same class for your subclass as your main, you get more usages for each active skill before having to rest at the inn. Camo Shield, which decreases the encounter rate while your party is in their vehicles, does not turn off when you exit them and get back in. Depending on a ride, multiple characters can ride it at the same time, meaning you can make use of multiple armaments of one ride each turn without having to rely on the C-unit or skills.
