V2000, also known as Virus 2000, is a 1998 video game developed by David Braben.[1] The game was released on Playstation and PC.[2] It is a sequel to Zarch (also called Virus), and was intended to be less challenging than the original game.[3]

Reception

[edit]

Ed Ricketts of PC Gamer praised its gameplay, range of weaponry, and animation.[4] PC Zone wrote that "The clever thing about V2000 is that it works on two levels: shoot 'em up fans will get short-term satisfaction from the blasting action, while strategists will enjoy exercising their grey matter."[5] Njal Sand of Gamers Haven called it "a very odd game with a fun concept but a very flawed execution."[2]
