Mega Man X2 starts up where Mega Man X left off, with a six month gap between them. Sigma's armies are being hunted down by the Maverick Hunters and the game opens up with Mega Man X attacking a factory and ultimately destroying the weapon stored there. From here the game reveals three X-Hunters who have acquired the parts of X's fallen comrade and ultimately wish to challenge X for these parts. In typical fashion, there are eight main bosses to fight and each of them have a themed level. Much like in X there are various power ups to obtain and armor for X to collect. One of the major improvements of Mega Man X2 is that X's dash is now integrated, which remains true for the rest of the X series. Ultimately the new foot part integrates the Air Dash which is how it sounds and ultimately makes parts a lot easier. The Giga Attack is also included for the first time and ultimately attacks everyone on screen, which is nice. These parts get refined throughout the series. For the most part, the items are a bit harder to get, with the Air Dash and the Speed Burner's charge dash ability, several items (two Heart Tanks in particular) are placed over instant death spikes which makes them rather difficult, especially with the awkward controls of having the shoot, jump and dash being placed where they are. However, with some slight re-configuring, it becomes better. Mega Man X2, like is predecessor features fully customizable controls which is nice. The bosses themselves are pretty much the same in terms of difficulty. Initially one or two may give you trouble, but they're nowhere near as hard as X3's bosses. Their weapons are useful but three ultimately shine. The first of these is the Silk Shot. This fires a small grenade that splits into four parts. When charged, it fires a massive blast that fires in all eight directions. This can make parts of the X-Hunter base a breeze with sections where an enemy can close the walls. Not to mention in several areas (namely Bubble Crab's stage) it can spawn a large number of health items which makes grinding for them easy. The Spin Wheel is great because it deals constant damage to enemies. Finally the Crystal Hunter is also quite useful because it can not only freeze enemies but when you break them with a dash, they will spawn an energy tank, which is VERY useful for getting the secret item. Like in Mega Man X, there is a Street Fighter move, this time the Shoryuken. While the Hadouken was tedious to get (but a lot better than in Maverick Hunter X), the Shoryuken is legitimately hard. You have to master the Speed Burner's charge attack and the air dash. At least the Crystal Hunter can generate Energy and there's a life before the spike corridors. It's also not as useful as the Hadouken namely because X leaps up into air. It takes a lot more practice to use but you don't need to beat the game to get it. Ultimately Sigma is easier than in Mega Man X. While there are technically three fights (if you don't rescue Zero's parts by fighting the X-Hunters) they are easier than Velguarder, Sigma and Wolf Sigma. Also Sigma's viral form doesn't have invincibility frames meaning its a lot easier to beat it. Consequently this game is a very good X game, better than it's sequel and really on par with X5, but it's not as groundbreaking as Mega Man X. It's a solid platformer and is a great addition of the series.Read full review
It was a blast.I again ,own one of the games.I really enjoy.Too bad that,raising the purchase price 3 timesor getting into high bidding war.Makes it the most ridiculous,pointless waste of time,why the games were never sold online nor sold at video games these days.Even if you bought it,like Idid.You definitely lock it up safety box or vault.It would never see the light of day,unless you beat it once,due to how much you pay for it.You're talking about the price range between $100.00 to $350.00.That's a utility bill or car payment.No one pay for it or come close to it,unless they get it at $75 or $80 dollars.That's still a gamble.But that chance is better,than nothing.

I first played this game about 3 or 4 months after its release on the SNES. It was hard to believe it was sitting on the clearance shelf at a local store for only $30. Looking back, I wish I had kept it instead of selling it to a used game store for $30 in store credit. Anyway, this game is addicting. I spent a week straight playing this game after I bought it, and even today need to pick up a copy now and then to relive some of the best action on the Super Nintendo. This game is tricky at times, like when Violen is swinging his mace all over the room to smash you into oblivion. It'll try your patience at times, such as when you're trying to shoot down the fish-shaped submarine in the ocean, or when you keep dying while trying to get that heart tank that's just out of reach. But even after all that, this game is pure fun. It starts off with a little blue robot taking on a gigantic, walking death machine that won't even fit on the screen at the end of the intro stage, and reducing it to scrap metal. That pretty well sets the tone for the game. You're taking on legions of reploids/mavericks whose only objective seems to be to cause as much destruction as possible to a little blue robot with an arm cannon. Climbing walls, blowing up a shuttle, smashing things to bits with mechanical armor, hover bikes, this game's got all that and a whole lot more. Plus, at the end, you meet some familiar faces. Mega Man X2 is worth every penny that you pay for it.Read full review
