Customer Reviews of Mega Man Zero 2

A pretty satisfying sequel
As good a game as the original Mega Man Zero was, this sequel improves upon it in every way. The most welcome change is that Zero is now given "lives" to complete a level compared to only one try per area in the original. This is good, because Capcom didn't let up on the difficulty. This game is HARD, and although it didn't keep me from playing and enjoying it, it probably wouldn't be appropriate for younger players. Personally, I thought the old Mega Man/Mega Man X games were too easy and like the added challenge. The Cyber Elves, which help Zero out in various ways, are there in case things get too difficult.
Zero's new weapon, a chain rod which Zero can use to reel in items and enemies and swing from obstacles, adds a fun new element, but using it successfully can be frustrating.
Fun for old-school Mega Man fans and action lovers, but make sure you can take the heat.

Delicious! More Please!
Mega Man Zero 2 sticks mostly to the formula the original had but improves on it in subtle ways. The spear has been replaced by a grappling hook that functions similarly but allows you to hook and swing to places you couldn't reach before. In addition to powering up your weapons over time and the elemental chips, you can now obtain what are known as EX skills and Forms. EX skills are special abilities stolen from the boss characters throughout the game, though you'll only steal an ability if your rating is an A or better. This means that you'll likely not capture many of the EX skills the first time through the game, though they really aren't needed much to finish it and are more a reward to players willing to work hard for the A rating. The Forms on the other hand, are highly useful and are unlocked by performing certain feats within a level, such as killing 20 enemies with a jumping slash, or collecting 20 life capsules. These additions allow you to customize Zero's fighting style in numerous ways and add a lot of replayability to the game.

The cyber-elf system is much better this time around. While it hasn't changed dramatically, the amount of energy crystals you need to feed some of the elves has been thankfully reduced and a few new, very useful elves have been added to the list, such as an elf that boosts your rating to A in case your performance slips up a bit.

The game is just about as hard as the original (perhaps harder) though it's not as hard as it seems. The trick, like in most mega man games, is figuring out your opponents patterns and reacting quickly. Many of the boss characters are weak to attacks from one of the elemental chips too, so dodging and using charged attacks makes short work of most of the bosses. Once you're used to the controls and have a feel for the enemies, the game can get rather easy.

All and all, a delicious action game that serves as a model for action titles on the GBA.

Mega Man Zero 2 Underrated
Looking at the reviews this game has gotten, I've realized that this game is highly underrated. This is a very good game that happens to be more difficult than most. For those had problems in the first level, this really isn't your game. This game and Mega Man Zero gave me hours of fun, some frustration, but it was easily worth the money I spent. Don't buy this game if you're looking for an easy side scroller that won't take much of your time. But if you're looking for a fun game that might be difficult for the average player, then this is your game.
