In Computer Gaming World, Jim Cobb wrote, "The most realistic WWII tactical game on the market gets even better with improved AI and interface." However, he criticized its visuals and audio, and wrote that its high difficulty and limited accessibility make it "very intimidating, even for veteran gamers."[1] Computer Games Strategy Plus's Rex Whitfield called it "a must-buy" for experienced wargame players, but noted that "novices may find themselves overwhelmed". He praised its interface for being easier to use than its predecessor's.[2]

The editors of Computer Game Entertainment awarded Tigers on the Prowl 2 their 1996 "Best War Game" prize. A writer for the magazine concluded, "Though sometimes the pace is glacial, and on occasion the game seems more work than play, Tigers 2 is so good at what it does that I can't really see any other choice for the best wargame [of 1996]."[3]

gollark: I remember it being weirdly inconsistent, similarly to how Docker's was.
gollark: Git's command line interface is evil. How is Fossil's?
gollark: Just cheat and bring it with you.
gollark: And I can *exit* vim.
