The sequel to Xtreme, now with fully playable Zero! Unfortunately, I don't think this one is the greatest Mega Man ever made either as it feels like it doesn't learn any lessons from the previous, as all the flaws there are here too: Unskippable text cutscenes, needing to beat the game multiple times, each playthrough only having 4 of the 8 available Mavericks, double tap to dash, unfair descents where you can't see what's below until it's too late...only here some of the bosses are worse like the tanks in the second Fortress stage which may be one of the worst bosses I've ever fought. You have no screen space as they hog all of it and fire massive homing projectiles, have fun with that. Zero isn't all that great either, dude's got no range and his abilities aren't all that incredible either outside weakness.

The only reason this game ranks the same as the previous is because they put Iris in this game and she survives the whole thing and is cute.
