Daisenryaku Exceed 2 is the direct successor to Dai Senryaku VII: Modern Military Tactics which came out on the original Xbox in 2005 and Dai Senryaku VII Exceed which arrived a few years later as a PS2 game. So far as the countries go, Exceed 2 introduces 7 new ones. Thus in addition to the Base 8 of the US, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Israel, China and Russia; Exceed 2 adds Italy, Spain, Turkey, India, Sweden, South and North Korea. Most of the units carry forward from DS VII but there are some new ones. All told, there are at least 500. And more countries get air intercept capability this time out.

The previous basic game modes are back: Mission, Campaign, Free Play, Map Editor and with a more extensive Campaign selection this time out. There's also a Tutorial and a new feature, the Medal Shop where you can use the points accumulated for winning medals to purchase special versions of certain units. And through the Playstation Network (Japanese), DLC in the form of new units and Campaigns is now in the mix as well as game updates. Exceed 2 is already patched to v1.01, thus I think it's reasonable to expect continued support of this title from SystemSoft. Unfortunately, still no Multiplayer.
