Unlike its predecessor which received some decent reviews, Fighting Force 2 was not very successful, and received very low ratings from most well known gaming publications. Due to its lackluster sales and a less-than-pleased fanbase, the series eventually ended. A third game was in development, but was cancelled when Core Design closed down.
