The game received "generally favorable reviews" according to the [[Review aggregator|review aggregation]] website [[Metacritic]].<ref name=MC/> Jim Preston of ''[[Next Generation (magazine)|NextGen]]'' said of the game and its protagonist, "While beautiful to look at and fun to play with, she's not ready for a serious commitment."<ref name=NGen/>

''[[GamePro]]'' said that the game "will give you a good dose of fun while you're playing, although it is a bit short and there isn't any multiplayer to extend the game value. Still, the graphics and level design make for some satisfying eye candy, and the gameplay strikes a sweet balance between the typical run and gun shooters, 3D platformers, and action adventures."<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Marrin |first=John |date=August 8, 2000 |url=http://www.gamepro.com/computer/pc/games/reviews/6320.shtml |title=Heavy Metal FAKK 2 Review for PC on GamePro.com |magazine=[[GamePro]] |publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG Entertainment]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050115145135/http://www.gamepro.com/computer/pc/games/reviews/6320.shtml |archive-date=January 15, 2005 |access-date=October 26, 2020}}</ref>{{efn|''[[GamePro]]'' gave the game two 4.5/5 scores for graphics and fun factor, 3/5 for sound, and 4/5 for control.}} ''GameZone'' gave the game nine out of ten, saying, "In-game cinematics, challenging puzzles, plenty of weapons, hordes of bad guys, sprawling landscapes, and beautiful women, what more could you want?"<ref>{{cite web |last=Giacobbi |first=Kevin "BIFF" |date=August 11, 2000 |url=http://www.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r13043.htm |title=Heavy Metal F.A.K.K. 2 |website=GameZone |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040304155304/http://www.gamezone.com/gzreviews/r13043.htm |archive-date=March 4, 2004 |access-date=October 26, 2020}}</ref>
