Mega Man Battle Network 2

"This is a game of Mega-proportions."

Hi my name is Legaia234 and True Legaia. This is my first video game review so bare with me.

When i first bought this game i was so impressed. it had so many improvements and new features in it. Most of the controls stayed the same and some were improved. Fans and Vets of the first installment will pick up the controls right away while people who are new to the Battle Network series might have to take some time to master them. Now if your thinking you have to play the first game to fully understand everything, your probably right since new people will be confused by the story line since it picks up after very recently after the first one.
Now if Vets are thinking there gonna to master the #2
your totally wrong. It has many new features like i said like instead of having to take up space in your folder by putting in all these Escape chips which by the way you used to run in the first one you now have the choice to run. But, like in every RPG you cant always run, like in Boss battles or if the enemy is too strong.
Several other features include, Multiple Folders for more Battle Chip space (Which in case if you didn't know you use as special weapons in battle), new chips called Subchips which you use to heal yourself outside of battle since your HP doesn't heal automatically anymore, a new feature which you can change the way Megaman looks and acts, new battlefields, obstacles, and enemies.

STORY 10/10:Well its just like the first one. An evil Internet ''Netmafia'' called The Gospel is terrorizing other countries and 11-year-old Lan Hikari and his cyber friend Megaman.EXE. has to put an end to this. The story line is full of surprises and mystery but, you'll have to find out the rest by yourself

MUSIC/SOUND 9/10:Once again, the music in this game is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! the only flaw is some of the BGM doesn't really sound like music at all. It just sounds like a bunch of sounds put together. The sound in this game was better than the first one. I couldn't spot any flaws.

GRAPHICS 10/10:The graphics in this game look just like the same of PDA. This game really captures the full visual potential of the Game Boy Advance. The sprites are very well done and there are new faces in this game. From a weird hat wearing purple Net Navi to a kid wearing a blue baseball cap the graphics cant disappoint you.

REPLAYABILITY 5/10:Well once you go though the game once or twice it gets very boring unless you have a friend that owns the game. Now if your that kind of person that likes to collect every Battle Chip and complete a game 100% it wont bug you.

BUY OR RENT:THIS IS A MUST BUY! You can get it at most KB toy stores for $30. I also recommend the classic Megaman Battle Network 1.

Well if you buy it I hope you enjoy this masterpiece.
