Official Score = 3 1/2 Devils[/caption]One of the interests that was instilled in me at a very young age is an interest in the Science Fiction genre... And you know what? I am glad, because having grown up in a world that is still very turbulent, Science Fiction has in a way shown a very practical view of a future where Mankind has stopped trying to destroy each other for petty reasons... But not just that, but also have shown a very practical way of getting to that future (all wrapped up in exciting adventures...)
Then there is also the other side which is just fun escapism, and that is when that world of the future shows a time when a hero or a group of heroes need to overcome some truly overwhelming odds!
A fun example of this first side is stuff like, 'Star Trek', but a great example of the second side is the video game, 'Mega Man'... Or to be more direct, 'Mega Man 2'!

A truly classic video game![/caption]Developed and Published by Capcom & originally released on the NES on December 24th 1988, this Sci-fi/Action platform (which would eventually be re-released for the various Playstation platforms, Wii & 3DS as well as iOS,) tells the story of how after his epic of defeat of the evil Doctor Wily in the first video game, Doctor Wily rebuilds his forces and creates a new fortress...
Because of this, Dr. Light sends his own robotic hero back out in to the world to destroy Dr. Wiley and his forces once again before Dr. Wiley can see his plans for world domination realized!

Dr. Wiley & Mega Man go head to head in, 'Mega Man 2'![/caption]Now the truth is, is I found this game to actually be better... What I mean by this is the fact that I found the bad guys in this game to be a bit more fun (Don't get me wrong, the original bosses were fun, but these were just kind of cooler), Also this video game's controls were a little bit more refined... And also the last thing that I wanted to say is that in a lot of the old Nintendo Games, alot of the times you couldn't save these really long games that you would play... So you either had to play the game to completion... (Or you could do what I did, and pause the game and turn off the TV and go to sleep with the system still on and continuing playing in the morning...) But with Mega Man 2... Well they still didn't exactly allow you to save your game... but they did give you a code option so that when you came back to the game, that you could restart the game from where you left off.
The only problem that I had with this game is that the story was not terribly inventive, and thus even though there was a lot of cool additions to the new game, it was still packaged in the same basic wrapping from Mega Man...
Well despite that, this game is fun, and if you get a chance, then I would recommend checking it out. I found it well worth my time, and if you give it a chance, you might find the same thing as well!
