Same X, new threat, more awesome!
In Mega Man X2, you play as X, a renowned maverick hunter and last creation of Dr.Light. After the death of his best friend and partner zero, a new threat comes, and X must fight the maverick leader Sigma, his army, and the X-Hunters.
The graphics in Mega Man X2 are not top notch such as in games like Star Fox, but the game itself has smooth animation and 3d wire frames, most noticeable in the final battle.
Mega Man X2 features a pretty good soundtrack, which varies with the stage and boss.
The game is very fun to play, with many different items and upgrades, as well as a fun secret or two.
The story is pretty detailed, featuring text, cut scenes, and descriptive dialogue.
The game is relatively long, it personally took me 3 days, and about a total of 5 hours for me to find all the items and upgrades in the game.
The controls in Mega Man X2 are very easy to learn. Although a good button finger is required to get some items in the game, the game is not that difficult, and difficulty increase is also very gradual.
Overall, Mega Man X2 is a very enjoyable platform shooter. It is a truly great sequel that even the most stubborn maverick hunter would like to give a try.

Star Fox is worth flying through
Star Fox was a game released for the SNES a while back. In Star fox you fly your arwing in different planets and parts of space, destroying the evil army of Andross and with your team, saving Corneria.
For the graphics, Star Fox was made in a time where 3d graphics were extremely rare, making this game very revolutionary for its time.
The game's soundtrack is very varied, ranging from a virtual band to an orchestra depending on the environment.
Star Fox also has a pretty good replay value, with secret stages and multiple paths to choose from.
Although Star Fox has almost no cut scenes or dramatic material to build the story, some of the text helps to construct it, and give it some complexity.
Star Fox does not take long to beat, it personally only took me an hour on one course, but like said before the varied paths and secrets make it so the game has to be played for hours to get through every single course and direction possible.
The game's controls are not very hard to learn, and there is a training mode that allows players to easily practice. The game's difficulty varies with the course, which is most of the time optional; however, the game has no passwords or saves, making this game very frustrating to beat on harder modes.
Overall, Star Fox is a very fun game to play. You'll find yourself jumping into the cockpit over and over again.
