One of the best classic NES games, dude!
Story: 9/10
- Mega Man 2 takes place after the original Mega Man game, which is set in an unspecified year during the 21st century. Dr. Wily, the series' main antagonist, builds a new fortress and army of robotic henchmen, led by eight new Robot Masters of his design. Mega Man is sent by his creator, Dr. Light, to defeat Dr. Wily and his Robot Masters. Mega Man crushes the eight new Robot Masters and then challenges Wily himself. In the final fight, Mega Man defeats Dr. Wily's holographic projection device. After the scientist begs for mercy, Mega Man spares Wily and returns home. So the storyline is cool to me.
Gameplay: 9/10
- Mega Man 2 is a platform and action game like its predecessor, Mega Man. The player controls Mega Man as he traverses eight stages to defeat the bosses, Dr. Wily's Robot Masters: Metal Man, Air Man, Bubble Man, Quick Man, Crash Man, Flash Man, Heat Man, and Wood Man. Each Robot Master features a unique weapon and a stage related to their weapon's power. For example, Air Man shoots small tornadoes and is fought in a sky-themed level, while Wood Man can use a shield of leaves and is found in a forest-themed stage. After defeating a boss, their signature weapon becomes available to the player. The Robot Masters have weaknesses to the weapons of certain other Robot Masters; therefore, choosing the order in which the levels are played is a vital component of the gameplay. After completing certain stages, Mega Man receives a special item. These items create platforms that allow Mega Man to access areas that he otherwise could not. So I had a ball shooting all the robots in the game, especially the robot masters!
Graphics: 9/10
- The graphics are great compared to the first Mega Man game, as Mega Man 2 has better looking backgrounds.
Sound: 10/10
- The sound effects are fantastic and memorable, that's it. The music is superior and also memorable!
Overall, I give this game a 9 1/2 out of 10 because this game alone in its series is like one of the best on the Nintendo system! I had super fun with this game!
