Mega Man 2

Get the game at Amazon.com!

Reviewed by Kyle Mauhl The Mega Man Series has always been one of my favorites. If it says "Mega Man" on the box, you can bet that it will be an awesome game. This game, Mega Man 2, was the first Mega Man game I ever played, and it's a great one! The story line goes like this: In the year 20XX, after being defeated by Mega Man in Mega Man 1, Dr. Wily has come back to wipe out Mega Man and his creator, Dr. Light. He has sent out 8 new robots, Wood Man, Metal Man, Flash Man, Bubble Man, Heat Man, Quick Man, Crash Man, and Air Man. This time the odds are really stacked against Mega Man, but with the help of Dr. Light and his new weapons, Mega Man can defeat Dr. Wily once again, or can he?

Graphics 9 out of 10

For a game made in 1989, Mega Man had some awesome graphics! These are some of the best graphics on the NES ever! Great graphics have always been a Mega Man trademark. Every thing from the waterfall in Bubble Man's stage, to the cloudy sky in Air Man's stage, to the gray sky in Dr. Wily's first stage look great and fit the stage perfectly. The animation on Mega Man, the bosses, and the enemies is good, too.

Music and Sound 10 out of 10

Now here is some great music! Another staple of the Mega Man games, Mega Man 2's music is also some of the best on the NES. I love all the themes, but I'd have to say that Bubble Man's, Wood Man's, and Dr. Wily's first and second stage themes are my favorites. Like the graphics, the music fits the stages perfectly. The sound effects are good, but you won't be paying much attention to them since the music is so great!

Game Challenge 6 out of 10

This is not a very hard game. There are 2 difficulty levels: normal and difficult. Even on difficult, the game isn't well, difficult. I can beat it in about an hour on normal. There are a total of 14 stages, 8 stages where you choose a stage go through it, beat the boss, repeat, and 6 Dr. Wily stages. There are some hard parts, like Quick Man's stage (hint, use Flash Man's weapon during the laser beam portions) and Dr. Wily's third stage (spikes everywhere! I hate spikes!) If you have never played a Mega Man game, this is a good place to start.

Game Play-Fun 10 out of 10

This is an extremely fun game! Sometimes, I just like to cruise right through the game and it will still be a hell of a lot of fun, even though I've played through it about 50 times! The control is perfect, although I wish there was I slide move, which was added in Mega Man 3. I don't know what else to say about the fun factor, other than it's just awesome!

Frustration

Like I said before, there are some hard parts, but there is little frustration. When you die, you can only blame it on yourself, not the control. Also, a password system is added, so you don't always have to play through it in 1 setting. Energy tanks were another great addition, just grab one and you can refuel your health anytime, which also takes away from the frustration of the original Mega Man.

Replayability 9 out of 10

As I said before, the game is so fun you'll want to play it over and over! However, there aren't very many secrets, so those of you that always must find every secret in the game won't find much here.

Game Value 10 out of 10

You can get a copy for about 5-10 dollars. Being so great, I would buy it if it were still 50 dollars! If you haven't already, go buy it!

Overall 10 out of 10

Overall, this is one of the greatest games ever made on any system! I've pretty much said every thing I can about how great this game is, and every true gamer on this planet must play this game! I give it my highest possible recommendation!
