Mega Man X2 is more of X. It's basically the same game with some slight improvements, such as dashing being available from the get-go and the Second Armor having some nice upgrades over the first -- I think the upgraded charge shot in this version might be my favorite in the entire X franchise.
The one thing I have mixed feelings about in this game is the X Hunters. On paper, they're a good idea, preventing the player from being too rigid with their boss order by placing extra bosses randomly across stages that have a time limit on them. But the execution is... iffy. They're not all that random, plus the time limit for defeating them is too strict and not communicated properly (or at all).
Still, I gladly replay X2 along its predecessor.
