I did not care for the charge shot nor the uniformity of the stage design but the pacing's by far the series' steadiest and the slide's considerably more relevant and fun to use than in its introductory game. Tragic that the localization found an opportunity to reintroduce the name Rock but had already lost the chance to keep Protoman's name Blues. Pharaohman not being weak to Toadman's weapon should've prompted outrage from American evangelicals.
