Gameplay

The immediate pull of Milestone Shooting Collection 2 is choice. Rather than asking you to commit to one shooter, it puts the games from Ultimate Shooting Collection alongside Illvelo Wii and Radirgy Noa. That makes it a better fit for a session where you want to explore than for someone hoping for a single, tightly focused new release.

Start by treating the compilation as a rotation. Spend enough time with each included game to find the one that matches your mood, then come back to the others later. The added Illvelo Wii and Radirgy Noa matter because they give the collection more reasons to stay in the console after you have worked through the games carried over from Ultimate Shooting Collection.

Frustration can set in if you wanted a sequel with one unified progression or a single game polished around one idea. This is a compilation, and its value comes from having a group of distinct games together. For a shooter fan who values variety and repeat visits, that trade is favorable.

Graphics

Because this is a multi-game collection, the look changes with the game you choose rather than holding to one consistent set of characters, stages, and menus. That variety suits the anthology format: switching games also means switching the picture in front of you.

Story

Milestone Shooting Collection 2 does not present itself as one continuous adventure. The central thread is the collection itself: games already included in Ultimate Shooting Collection sit beside Illvelo Wii and Radirgy Noa.

That framing matters if you like a package with a clear through-line. You are not buying into one newly named campaign; you are moving among several games under the Milestone banner.

As a result, the collection’s sense of journey comes from trying its different entries and returning to the ones that grab you. It is an anthology purchase, and it works best when you enjoy making your own route through a library of shooters.

Overall Experience

Milestone Shooting Collection 2 earns its place through generosity of lineup. Bringing back the contents of Ultimate Shooting Collection while adding Illvelo Wii and Radirgy Noa makes this feel like the fuller version of that idea, not a minor repackaging.

The payoff is strongest for someone who already knows they enjoy shooters and wants several of them in one Wii release. You get more mileage from it when you are happy to sample, replay, and switch games according to your mood rather than demand that every session stay with the same title.

If you want one shooter to master from beginning to end, choose the individual game that speaks to you most. If you want a Milestone-centered shooter library on Wii, this collection is the more compelling proposition, because its extra two games give the package real weight.
