Ah, Mega Man II. One of the best games for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Or, is it? I first got the idea of playing this game after trying the demo for the Masterpieces in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, but that starts you at the END. The Wily stuff. I wanted to see what the game was like, came to here, played it, and loved it. Just what makes this game so fun? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z! No no no, just kidding, you'll find out in this review.
So, if you don't press START as soon as the game starts, you get a cut-scene. After defeating Dr. Wily in the first game, (which if you beat I have not a clue how you did) but HE ESCAPED! He also built eight more evil robots. Yep. Eight. Anyway, you must defeat all eight and then enter Wily's castle and defeat Dr. Wily! I give the story a 3, because it's pretty much the same as Mega Man I, with two extra robots.
The graphics are pretty nice for an 8-bit console, not to mention when you get an ability. Sadly, it has that annoying Sprite Flicker. If you don't know what that is, whenever there is a bunch of stuff on screen, you and the enemies will start to flash. It's VERY annoying, as it can make you lose focus. Other than that, the graphics are awesome! I say an 8!
It's Mega Man! Of course the sound is down right legendary! The only track I've heard so far that I don't like is Crash Man's stage theme. I think it's OK. Other than that, the soundtrack and sound effects are great! I give it a 10! I should mention though, it might get annoying hearing you getting hit so much.
Which is a great segway into difficulty! This game tends mostly to be challenging, but other times (like in Quick Man's stage) it's just frustrating! But still mostly just challenging. I give difficulty a 7.
As I said in story, you have eight robots to beat, and then go beat up Dr. Wily one more time. Plus, this game is very addicting. When you beat a robot, you get their ability. (Metal Man's Metal-Blade, Flash Man's Time-Stopper) People also say that when Dr. Light gives you a weapon it's good but it takes forever! I never had that problem, I always beat up Flash Man first, and Dr. Light gives you something after you beat him, no matter what, I guess it's just the stages guys, you can calm down about it.
Anyway, at least for me Mega Man II truly showed what a great game is made of. I give a solid 9.3/10 and if you play it, I hope you have as much fun as I did with this game! Ah, Mega Man II.
