Reception
David M. Redding reviewed War of the Worlds II in The Space Gamer No. 3.[1] Redding commented that "I unloaded the game at a small fraction of its cost to a rather dense, now ex-acquaintance and he surely got less than he bargained for."[1]
Tony Watson reviewed War of the Worlds II in The Space Gamer No. 6.[2] Watson commented that "War of the Worlds II was a good try. There was obviously a strong effort to get that sci-fi 'feel' into the game, which I feel the designer accomplished. It is unfortunate that he had to deal with a weak game."[2]
