Time to rant.
For the longest time, I've been lied to. Internet discourse and general consensus gave me this idea that X1 was the best X game. The one that's more tight, the one people recognize as THE game.
No it isn't!!!!
The sequel is so much better and interesting. Better setpieces, better level gimmicks, multi-phase boss encounters with more varied attack patterns, better music (debatable, but I feel that way), level design has been tightened, it's quicker, snappier...
Bro, you didn't have to get to the later entries to find out!!!! It's number two!!!!!!!!! It makes the first look like a mere warm-up for the real deal!!!!
Also, just emulate this one. I tried going the official legal route with the X Collection but it's just not as responsive. Input lag is not horrible but it's enough to make the whole experience less enjoyable. Snes9x all the way baby.

unica coisa de nova q tem sao as armas de resto é o literal jogo anterior

Mega Man X2 is a very weird game. I think X1 is much better, but it isn't dogshit.

I wasn't too impressed. The level design seemed pretty meh based on the three I played. All of the stage themes were very short and repetitive.

buenardo menos el sigma en este juego esta medio feon y la pelea es mid


Este título es de mis preferidos de la Saga X. Lo probé para la Legacy Collection de Switch xd

Mega Man X dejó una impresión tan fuerte en mí que sentí la imperiosa necesidad de empezar la secuela nada más terminar. Necesitaba más de lo mismo y Mega Man X2 es más de lo mismo pero casi mejor.

Los niveles son más memorables (la secuencia de moto en Overdrive Ostrich, las cajas mortales de Magna Centipede, la lava ascendiente en Flame Stag...), los jefes tienden a ser más interesantes (en virtud de ser menos débiles a su debilidad y que el X Buster se siente más poderoso) y hay un cambio en las capacidades de las armas que desbloqueas (que enfatizan el combate en X y la exploración en X2) que creo que favorece al juego en su totalidad. Los jefes finales son al mismo tiempo más exigentes y menos injustos que en el original.

Por otro lado, el orden en que derrotes a los jefes no cambian los niveles como lo hacía en X, los jefes opcionales se sienten mal integrados y la estructura en la que ocurren los rematches contra los Mavericks en el nivel final me gustó menos que en el original.

Teniendo en cuenta todo esto, creo que prefiero Mega Man X2 a X. Puede que tenga que ver con que empiezas con el dash desbloqueado y que lo reasigne al botón L antes de empezar la partida, pero creo que X2 es una experiencia más depurada que utiliza mejor sus partes. Una vez más, no puedo sino recomendarlo a todo el mundo.

Mega Man X2 é um caso meio complicado pra mim... Ele tem uma ótima trilha sonora, uma gameplay superior ao X1, tem o Buster da second armor que é um dos meus favoritos na franquia, ele tem fases bem divertidas, e o mais importante, ele não tem o dash cagado do X1. Porem, em contrapartida a qualidade dos Bosses do X2 são como uma montanha russa, alguns estão entre os meus favoritos da saga, e outros eu simplesmente detesto. O X2 no geral é uma ótima continuação, eu gosto bastante dele, é um bom jogo! Mas diria que tem melhores na franquia.....

it's peak just like the first one

As I mentioned in my review of Megaman X. I played the crap out of the first 4 games in the series growing up and just replayed this again. Playing this again after the original reinforces what I always believed (and is not a popular opinion) I prefer X2 over X.

It's more of the same but a little better. The stage design and art is overall better than the original. Most of the music is an improvement It even has two of the best tracks in the series (Zero's Theme and Neo Sigma Theme).
Starting with the dash is an improvement and the two new armor abilities (Giga Crush and Item Tracer) are a nice addition. The air dash is also an amazing addition. Only downgrade I can think of is that none of the stages change after beating certain bosses like they do in the original.

There is also the addition of the 3 Maverick Hunters that rotate around the 8 boss stages adding a bit more action into the game. They can be found in somewhat hidden rooms in each stage and you'll want to beat them to revive Zero and get the "good ending".


É relativamente mais difícil, principalmente se for para pegar cada upgrade nas fases, com lugares bem injustos. Porém, considero igualmente bom ao seu antecessor. A armadura completa é bonita, e muito divertida de usar, por causa do Air Dash e da recarga dupla do canhão, deixando a gameplay mais dinâmica.
