Game Revolution writes: "If game design had rules etched on a tablet, and if that tablet was placed on top of a high, high mountain, and if in those rules it said sequels had to avoid repeating the same mistakes as their predecessors, then Taito better starting looking for some rope and hiking shoes. Because Exit 2 is practically the same as the original."
+ Beautiful visual presentation
+ Lots of levels
+ Strong variety of puzzles
- Rocks are smarter than AI characters
- Really annoying sound effects and voices
- Stiff controls, circa 1989
Exit 2 has a problem. Released on the back of the original's console and handheld success, it's clear that the initial idea is beginning to burn itself out. As a sequel, this title serves as a perfect portion of extra helpings for diehard fans of the formula. For everyone else, Exit 2 shows itself to be a frustratingly sloppy addition that opts for a tastier visual feast rather than any new gameplay ideas.

I have a dream job for you; become an "Escape Expert". You see, you don't have to be a weight-lifter or a sprinter to do be an escapologist (it just sounds fun, doesn't it?). Exit 2 puts you in the shoes of Mr. ESC, and charges you with various "situations" that require the rescuing of incompetent civilians."
Evolved Gaming's Cory Grimes writes, "Overall, I think this game is good on a person-to-person basis. Some people love this game, while I was mildly amused by it. It's a definite change from all the fast paced shooter games and people who seek something slow will love this. I recommend getting the demo and deciding for yourself."
