After playing 2, this game just feels like a standard affair with nothing really making it unique other than Rush being fully introduced as the items, the introduction to Proto Man and the sliding mechanic which are all decent additions. The stages weren't really impressive compared and the weapons weren't as fun other than the Magnet and the Shadow Blade (which works similarly to the metal blades from Mega Man 2). The Doc Robot section felt cool in concept but I felt like it just padded the game more than it needed to be while the Wily Stages were just okay and easier than 2's stages. With that said, this is really "a megaman game" and I don't think you can't go wrong with playing it since it serves its purpose of being a megaman game.
