Mega Man 2 is a great game made by Capcom, and falls into my list of favorite games.
The story is quite simple: Dr. Wily, after being defeated once by Mega Man, tries to dominate the world again, this time creating not six, but eight powerful Robot Masters. And so, Mega man must beat each of the eight Robot Masters, then take down Dr. Wily.
The gameplay is a quite simple, yet extremely fun one: you play as mega Man, a blue robot who can jump and shoot. And so, you must travel eight levels, in each one residing a Robot Master. Each level is constructed taking in account the Robot Master's design, element and weapon. For example, metal Man's stage is a place full of metal enemies, with its background being the inside functioning of a machine. The eight levels you can beat in any order, making the task overwhelming at first, but, as you start beating more stages, the game becomes smaller and smaller.
Each stage is unique in its own way: Bubble Man's stage is full of water and has death spikes at every corner, Air Man's stage has a lot of bottomless pits and flying platforms, Quick Man's stage is full of instant death lasers, which you must pass by very quickly, Heat man's stage has a vry large portion of it occupied by disappearing blocks, Wood Man's stage is filled with enemies everywhere, whit lots of forest animals, Metal Man's stage has conveyor belts everywhere, Flash man's stage is the ice level of the game, and in Crash Man's stage you ascend and ascend, the background turning from day to night.
The graphics are quite nice. They were amazing when they were released and, in my honest opinion, are still amazing in this present moment. The graphics aren't outstanding, and are very 8-bit-ish.
The music is excellent. It almost receives a perfect score. The tunes for each level is very catchy and very well made. Of course, you'll have your favorites: my favorite tune is Flash Man's tune and, in my opinion, the most catchy ones are Metal Man's and Crash Man's tunes.
The game itself is not very difficult. The Normal Mode is pretty much very easy, especially compared to the Difgicult Mode, which actually is the standard mode for the Japanese version of Mega Man 2. I'm only going to talk about the Difficulty Mode, though, as I just find Normal Mode very easy to speak about it. The enemies are pretty healthy, and some are tough to beat and deal a huge damage, like the Sniper Joes. Levels are very well crafted, although not well balanced, as some levels, like Bubble Man's, are very easy, while other levels, like Heat Man's, are very hard. Althouh beating th game is just a matter of skill, though.
The game has a lot of replay value. After you beat it, you'll want to play it again and again. I myself have beaten it, at least, four times.
Overall, the game is a pretty cool one. You should definitely play it.
