Du-du-du-DU, Super fightin' robot... Du-du-du-DU!! MEGA MAN!!.... Sorry for that... I was in the zone...
So, Mega Man. Oh boy, oh boy! Mega Man! Back then he was the robot that represented Capcom back in the Late '80s-early 2000s. Now-a-days he's.... Pretty much stuck in hiatus. But, you CAN'T think Capcom without thinking about Mega Man!.... Okay. Maybe Street Fighter. But STILL!! Oh jeez. I'm getting off topic. Okay then. *AHEM!*
A little history. In 1980's, Capcom was making games for the NES, seeing on how popular the console has become up to that point. Most of those games were okay ports of there arcade games like Ghosts & Goblins, Commando, 1942, etc. But in 1987, Akira Kitamura, (Please tell if I spelled that wrong) and Keiji Inafune developed a new intellectual property for Capcom. With some help, Capcom released Rockman on December 17, 1990. With the US following suit with Mega Man that same day. But Europeans got it THREE YEARS LATER in 1990! (Dang it PAL region. You and your tricks!!)
The game wasn't that well received... Hmm... I wonder why? I'M LOOKING AT YOU, NORTH AMERICAN BOX-ART! But a year later. They released the second game: Rockman 2: Dr. Wily no Nazo! (The Mystery of Dr. Wily!), and... I think you know the rest...
STORY: If you played the last game, Dr. Wily (The Antagonist) stole 6 Robots that Dr. Light (Professional robot maker) made in the year 20XX. Dr. Light created 2 other robots before that: Rock, and Roll (OH! I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE, CAPCOM!) Rock, feeling angered, I guess, Wanted to be converted to a Super Fighting Robot: MEGA MAN!! He kicked Dr. Wily's hintern (German for butt) and saved the day.
However!... Dr. Wily built 8 more robot masters to destroy the world!! Of course, Mega Man kicks his butt again. Cue Mega Man 3.
GAMEPLAY: Mega Man 2 allows you to select 8 levels in any order. Which allows for alot of different ways to beat the game. Once you reach the end of a level, you can fight the robot master. Once you beat him, you can get his power-up! Like stopping time, throwing buzz-saws with almost unlimited ammo, a barrier made of titanium leaves, and a lot more! Plus each robot has a weakness to another weapon. It's like Rock Paper Scissors! If you experiment enough, you'll find the best strategies to beat them. But if you seen other reviews of this game, people are prone to talk about the metal blade. METAL BLADE=YOU BEAT THE GAME! Why?? Well, you'll see!
GRAPHICS: The graphics are pretty good. Mega Man's blue palette sticks out, and is easy to follow, The enemies are very stylized, and detailed. But the only hiccup the game has is sprite flickering. It can get annoying at times.
MUSIC: Three words: Wily. Stage. and 1. 'Nuff said... NO I'M KIDDING! C'MON TAKE A JOKE!! But, the music is really catchy!! The entire soundtrack is in my Top 100! But Wily Stage 1! Ohh MAN!! This is the most remixed NES game on Youtube!
FINAL THOUGHTS: The game has aged very well! But it's not an easy game. This will challenge you, and test your reflexes. It not BattleToads, or Castlevania 3 hard. But it's no cakewalk. I'll give it a 9.5 (Excellent!)
