[1] The game's manual says that "Arnie has been chosen to perform four missions that require stealth, skill and extreme violence."

Most of the opponents are stationary and stolidly fire in a single direction; however, foxholes release cannon-fodder at a constant rate.

Some dead foes drop more powerful weapons as well as invaluable first aid kits and extra lives.

Although the game's name alludes to Arnold Schwarzenegger,[citation needed] Arnie II is not a licensed title and is not based on any movie.

Commodore Force thought this was a disappointing sequel, criticising the poorly implemented isometric perspective and weak enemy AI.
