Younger Mega Man fans won't know just how popular and fun this game was back in the day, and how the years have gone by and the game is STILL a lot of fun.
So many positive things can be said about Mega Man 2. The fantastic theme music, which is still the best music in a Mega Man game to date. Every single tune in this game is amazingly creative and memorable. If you don't think so you're crazy.
Another thing that fascinates me is how people can never decide which of the first three Mega Man games is the best one. The first one I have never played, but they say it's extremely challenging, and because it only features 6 bosses, I don't think it's possible for me to prefer that one over Mega Man 2.
Then we have Mega Man 3, which video game fans like to compete with Mega Man 2 to find out just which game delivers the ultimate Mega Man experience. Many people will try to say 3 is the best NES Mega Man game, while many others will say the clear winner is the 2nd one. Which one do I prefer? I have played 3, and while that one was also a fun, addicting action game, I think this one tops it. It doesn't smear it, it just beats it. The level design and the weapons Mega Man can equip just excite me more in this game. The creative juices were really flowing here.
Mega Man 2, despite Capcom probably not completely sure if the Mega Man name will take off or not, marks where everything fell into place for the series and it feels SO MUCH like a classic because everything about this game feels so right. Mega Man 3 feels more like "just another Mega Man game" (though a great one- it just doesn't have that special feel, though of course many would disagree).
Mega Man 4 is also a good game to own, and by the time Mega Man 5 was released it felt like players were thinking to themselves "ok Capcom, that's enough!". But really, all 5 of those NES Mega Man games are probably worth owning. I also have never played the 6th installment. People don't seem to like that one so you may want to avoid it. From the small amount of pictures I have seen of the game, it does look different from the previous 5. Though graphics aren't everything, so who knows if I'd like it or not.
I really don't have any complaints with Mega Man 2. It's a lot of fun playing this game 15 years after I first rented and eventually bought. I can't remember where I bought it. Probably a yard sale. Back in the day you could buy NES games used at yard sales, garage sales and whatnot for extremely cheap prices. Just think, there was a point where I probably would have only had to pay a dollar for the first Mega Man game. Wow, it's definitely not like that today.
I'm still angry that the video store in my town always had the Mega Man 1 cardboard box on the shelf, and when I took the box up to the man behind the counter so I could rent the game, I was always disappointed to find that the game was never available because someone never returned it, and to this day I never got to play it.
Mega Man 2 offers a nice challenge, but unlike many NES games it's actually possible to beat this game with some practice. That's how a challenging game should be- hard at first, and the more you play the better you get. With practice you WILL beat this game, because there's really no place in any of the levels that can be called frustrating. Just a nice small challenge all the way through.
This game has it all, folks. Great level design, fantastic music, weapons and bosses that make you want to keep coming back to it again and again. There's really nothing bad that can be said about it. It's Mega Man at his most Mega Man-y. As cheesy as that sounds, it's true!

Mega Man2 game is as good as the first. There seem to be much more levels and bosses this time around. The sound is basically the same as the 1st one. The plot in Mega Man 2 is extremely simple: Dr. Whily wants revenge.
The main problems in this game are the same as before. The traps are still annoying. The plot is also extremely simple.
Overall, this is a very good game that is not much different from its predecessor.

The Premise:
Dr. Wily creates 8 robots of his own and attempts to take over the world! (Also has managed to build a castle undetected).
Gameplay:
The sound effects and such are mostly recycled from the original. Megaman doesn't fall off of latters as easily in this one as in the original.
Unfortunately, once you defeat a stage in this game, you cannot return to that stage- a factor that severly limits replay value, and makes the game less enjoyable than the original.
The password feature is nice to have and rather simple to use.
For some reason instead of the magnet beam, you 'receive' a series of 3 items depending upon whether you beat Airman, Crashman or Flashman's level. The fact that these are not hidden items is kind of a downer, and was part of the fun of the first megaman (finding the magnet beam). Worse, item 1 pretty much renders item 3 useless.
Graphics:
Good for their time, cheesy in places such as Airman's stage with the lightning Gods or Metal Man's stage with the conveyor belts and dancing clowns (those are suppossed to be conveyor belts?).
The graphics really take a dive when you enter Skull Castle. The backgrounds are rather monotonous and uninspiring.
Pluses:
-8 robots to beat in this one vs 6 before.
-For better or worse, this was the one that blew up the megaman phenomenon.
Minuses:
-Cheesy graphics in places.
-Boring bosses in Skull Castle.
-Can't go back to stages previously beaten.
-Too easy to beat.
-Megaman is PINK when using Quick Boomerang. (Why?)
-Special weapons not that cool.
Conclusion:
An average game. The last of the original series on NES that didn't get TOO cheesy. (Example: Charge Man in MM 5- he's a choo-choo train!?)Could've been a lot better.

Megaman II- one of my favorite Megaman games.
This game is a bit like megamanI, but with many improvments.
You can call in Rush, Beat, and Bass's cat. BIG improvment!
A new charecter,Duo,has been added, but I don't think he's with megaman standerds. Health is SO much better, and the bots you fight are(in my opinion) better.
While Protoman's music isn't as nice as in mmI, the tune remained the same.
Also, the "extra attacks" are a nice touch.
With happy music that makes you smile, great charecters, and cool movies, this game really is a classic.

Megaman 2 was one of the first NES-games I played through when I was about eight-year-old boy. I was so excited and fascinated about this game's graffics, enemies, sounds and challange. Many of my classmates liked also to play Megaman 2. Let's tell you something about this classic game. Doctor Willy has built eight evil robots who are protecting Willy's kingdom. Megaman is a cyborg boy who has to destroy these robots and finally beat Willy himself. Megaman gonna save the world! There are many interesting levels in this game. Quickman's stage is full of cutting sawblades. When you are in Airman's world, you have to be careful because ligning could strike you! Heatman's level is very hot and you'll burn in lava, if you jump over the bricks. Ok! You have destroyded all the eight robots! Now you will go to Willy's world. The great skull was very scare when I was a little boy... You'll meet dragons, killing machines, crashing creatures, flying strangers and so on Finally, you see eye to eye evil doctor. Give him a good reason to kneel down and pay mercy for you! Shoot him down! When you have survived robot phase, it's time to meet Alien Doctor Willy. Use bubblegun and you are soon in the winner team. Congratulations! You have save the world today! Not bad at all! This is your game if you like stage jumping, shooting to robots, great advanture and absolutely irritating music.
