Mega Man Zero 2

"Wow! the Japanese version has blood!"

I havent played the original Rockman/Megaman Zero game. I\'ve seen my friend play the sequel and I immediatly thought that it would be fun. I ran into this game at a game corner in a store. Having the right amount of money, I bought it afterwards running home unable to bare the suspense. I put the game in my gba. My first thought was an orginal megaman game, you know the whole kill \'n run process. when I played the first level, I was simply stunned. This was not what I expected. Even the first level was hard! I couldnt get through the first boss without dying a couple hundred times! And guess what.... it was what I\'ve wanted in a megaman game for a LONG time. Rockman Zero 2 will be a game I will never forget. (or even complete)

Gameplay: 10/10
The gameplay was magnificent. Sure it was a run and kill game, but there was much more of a challenge than that. There was always a sort of mini boss in the middle of each mission. The gameplay is what every adventure person wants.

Graphics: 10/10
The graphics are great. You can even see Zero breathe! And when his health is at a minimum, you see him holding his arm in pain. When he dies, its the whole old fashion blow- up into circles thing that you\'ve see since the original megaman. If you have the Japanese version, there\'s blood when you cut open your enemies!

Sound: 8/10
The sounds in this game are a little too simplistic. The sword waving around makes the same sound of a lightsaber from star wars. The blaster sound is what you\'d find in an old fashion arcade game. The music is really good, but the sound effects are uh... could use a little work.

Story: 7/10
I cant read the text of what they\'re saying in this game cause I bought the Japanese version. But I was able to read through it in the megaman network. The story line is great and gives you something to play with. Other games would simply give you crap like, \'\'kill this guy or else\'\' and stuff like that, but not this game!

Overall: 9/10
This game was a really good buy. I dont regret buying it. Challenges could get you mad a few times, but when you beat them, it makes you feel good inside. Rockman Zero 2 gives this challenge. If you\'re one of those people who love adventure games and never gives up on challenges, this is a game for you!
