This is how a sequel should be! This game was amazingly fun to play and di everything right, the worlds are expansive, the power ups are interesting, the boss fights are very creative, the story while good is nothing really "new", the music is amazing as well as the graphics.

If I had to explain the difference between Blaster Master Zero 1 and 2, the best way to put it is, Blaster Master Zero is obviously a remake of the original Blaster Master on NES and expands upon it and does it very well.

Blaster Master Zero 2 you can tell is very much it's own game, I mean it's a sequel of course but you can tell the developers said "well now we don't have to stick strictly to a format like the remake." So they just went all out and made an amazing game that shows their creativity.

I will admit, my first hour into the game I wasn't crazy because the balancing of the difficulty felt waaay harder than the first game because it has new mechanics and how it wants you to tackle things, but after a few hours and some adjusting I totally fell into this game and it's world.
