Gameplay
This simulator improved on virtually every level of the first game, and it is 3Dfx-compatible from the start. New helicopters were added in the shape of the AH-64D Apache Longbow (without radar), OH-58D Kiowa and UH-60L Black Hawk.
A fully dynamic campaign engine is used to create challenging missions and a random mission generator can be used to create a wide variety of missions. Gameplay is dynamic in the sense that new missions are generated automatically. The game features a command structure, allowing the player to command other helicopters, including OH-58 Kiowa scouts and UH-60 Black Hawk transports.
Longbow Anthology
Longbow Anthology was released in 1998 and is a compilation of Jane's AH-64D Longbow, the mission disk Flash Point: Korea (basically, Longbow Gold), and Longbow 2 in one box, with an abbreviated manual. Although compiled into one box, the games are still played as separate games; unlike Fighters Anthology which is all games of that series compiled into one playable game. All included simulators are fully patched to the latest versions.
Reception
Jane's Longbow 2 was nominated in the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' first annual Interactive Achievement Awards in the category "Computer Simulation Game of the Year".
