Diehard GameFAN Review
Improved AI, a turn replay feature, and the inclusion of economic and social statistics adds even more depth to the already impressive historical emulation the original BoA game offered.

Review on Armchair General
Birth of America 2 engages the player thoroughly... for the player interested in strategy this is a good choice.

8/10 - [Translated from Hungarian] It's a very nice game. Good to just watch the map and units...
