Another Megaman game down, another Megaman game where the bosses curbstomped me into Haggis. You know, I feel like I was a bit harsh with the previous game, since I didn't mention anything but the ball busting difficulty. The music is really great, all tunes sound nice if a bit forgettable, this and Zero 1 look really damn good, with a pixelart that is still a joy to look at, and even the goddamn story has some nice moments. My complaints are on gameplay, unfortunately. This game replaces Zero 1's lance with a whip, which does the exact same, only adding the ability to hang from walls. Its mildly useful against like two bosses, and necessary for completing some levels. Therefore, it would help if it wasn't so wonky to use. Making it actually latch onto walls when you need it to is more of an art than a science, I never figured out how to consistently get it to work. Pretty cool continuation of the series, I'm interested on where the story is going, took me about 2 and a half hours to finish
