Everyone's favorite 90's action-platformer is BACK for one final outing on the Genesis and also forever because nobody cares about Vectorman.

I don't have too much to say about this game that wasn't already covered in my review of the first Vectorman. At its core, it's very much the same game. All flash, little substance. There are some new morphs and weapons to play around with, and generally I found them more fun than the original, but levels are a lot less nice to look at and a few stinkers really hold the game back. I suppose it all evens back out for me in the end, because I really don't dislike Vectorman 2, but I don't really want to play it again either.

I do wish Sega did something more with this character, though. His design is great and I think he would've been a perfect fit for Sega's foray into 3D gaming, but all he ever really amounted to was a couple technical showpieces on a dying platform. What a waste.

Anyway they should make this unlockable in Sonic Origins, just pull a real Mega Collection and include this for no reason at all.
