  Today, I'll be reviewing a NES classic, Mega Man 2! Mega Man 2 is the sequel to Mega Man
and improves on the previous title. It's generally regarded as the greatest Mega Man
title in the Classic series and for good reason. It follows the non-linear gameplay
of it's predeccesor as well as getting weapons from the Robot Masters that are the weakness
of another Robot Master. So, let's get started.
   Story - 6.0

   The story is pretty weak. Dr. Wily, the antagonist from the last game, has created
8 new robot masters to take over the world. Mega Man, the protaganist, has to take down
those Robot Masters, head to Dr.Wily's fortress, and stop him. Like most NES games,
it doesn't really have a huge storyline so I'll cut it some slack and leave it with a
6.0.

Graphics - 8.5

  The graphics are pretty good for NES games. Mega Man looks quite nice and the Robot Master's
sprites reflect all of their designs and so do the enemies. The stages look nice and
you can always tell what things are, so, the graphics are pretty good and warrant a
8.5.

Sound - 10

  The Mega Man series is known for it's amazing and catchy music that plays throughout
the stages and this game has that. Every song in the game is memorable and if you were
to ask me to hum anything from this game, I would be able to. The sound effects are pretty nice.
Mega Man's gun shots have a memorable sound and it's pretty good.

Addictiveness - 8.5

  The game is easy to pick up and can be sometimes hard to put down. Considering the good level design,
it should keep you stuck with game since it's nearly perfect. All of the different tricks
and glitches can also help keep you in. It's a fun game that is extremely hard to put down.

My Problems
 
  One of my problems with the game is the weapons. A lot of the weapons are overshadowed by
the overpowered Metal Blade. The Metal Blade takes down 4 Robot Masters down, is helpful to take
down most enemies, and is just generally broken. All the other weapons have their uses but
are just pointless due to the overpowered Metal Blade. It's just a little bothersome.
I also hate the constant flicker that happens when too many things are on screen. For example,
in Metal Man's stage, the spiked drop things, cause flickering and it makes the game slow
and Mega Man goes invisible and it bothers me.

Controls - 9.5
 
  The game has the same tight controls of the previous game and controlling Mega Man
is simple and easy to handle. The jumping mechanics work and you move quite easily.
I love the controls since they work well and they deserve a 9.5.

Difficulty - 7.5

This game is pretty hard due to how the levels are designed and how bosses are. However,
I gave it a lower score due to it being, in my opinion, a step-down from the Hell that is
Mega Man 1.Sure you got Quick Man and his stage with the insta-kill lasers, but they can both be
easy to get through by just using the Time Stopper on the lasers and then grind near Quick Man's
boss door to take down half his health. The first one had the Yellow Devil, Elec Man's stage
and himself, Ice Man's disappearing blocks over nothing area, the Big One-eyed Red thing
that appears in nearly every stage, etc;. They really just downed the difficulty and I dislike that.


Conclusion
  Mega Man 2 is a solid and excellent game with tight controls, an excellent soundtrack,
great graphics, and an orignal non-linear style. I recommend this game to anyone who enjoys
classic games and is enjoyable. However, I don't regard this to be the best Mega Man title
even though it's great. I'll be getting to the best next time, but this game deserves a
9.5.

pikamander64 : Your post is 666 words long, you just summoned the number of the beast! I fooled you, the word length has a creepy number.

That is a ok review. You should keep this up.

Mega Man 2 is very easy, in my opinion. Yeah it can be tough if you don't know the correct sequence of bosses, but you still don't get the right challenge you crave. Still a good game, just easy.

i have to agree. the game is fairly easy compared to the rest of this series. The music though is definitely on a league of its own. But personally i find X3 more enjoyable. but this game is what got me into the MegaMan series, so major props to this game AND definitely a game with replay value.

Classical mega man 2. Try and do it no damage (I failed at Quickman's stage*) or buster only (failed at wily stage 1 because it's not possible)

*it was on normal mode and I had beaten metal man, woodman, Heat man, flash man, and bubble man.

I do think that the difficulty rating should have been an 8 or 9, even if it wasn't as hard as the original Megaman, this one was still REALLY hard.

Great Review!

Megaman 2 was the 1st. Megaman game I finished... And it felt great. However, as the other says, it's the most easiest of the Saga... But, even with that problem, I enjoyed the game.

Once again, Great review!
