"X2", sometimes known as "Project X-2" is a simple but technically impressive, arcade-style side scrolling shoot 'em up released during the Team17-Ocean collaboration era of video games that created the Worms series. It is the sequel to the Amiga 16-bit shooter "Project-X".

Unlike many other games of the era, it was never released to a home computer audience and was fairly poorly receivedFact|date=March 2007: this was mainly due to 2D scrolling shooters losing appeal in general public eye at the end of the Nineties, in favor of 3D games. The game is not related to "", despite similar names and settings.

The game was released in Eastern territories by Capcom, who handle such releases for many Western games including "Grand Theft Auto III". Capcom and Team17 worked together to make the game more palatable for the Eastern market.
