Zero 1 was an idea, Zero 2 is where ideas were put into action, where boys became men.

A much better version of the first, but still held back in some ways. RPG mechanics are still in this one but not nearly as much of a grind and the level structure this time is more akin to that of a normal Mega Man game. What a shocker that it gets way better when you ditch the shitty mission structure of the first.
