Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Something mysterious is going on at the reploid research island. The reploids have ceased functioning, their data strangely erased. The investigation team encounters "irregular" reploids infected with a strange new DNA chip. Known as DNA Soul, it replaces useful data with a devastating Sigma virus and places all reploids in imminent danger. Now it's up to Mega Man X and his comrade Zero to get to the damaged island and find out who is behind the DNA Soul virus. Game features include the ability to change between Mega Man X and Zero at any time and the chance to collect rare DNA Junk along the way to build new weapons, bosses, or even a new stage. There are four modes of play: X mode, Zero mode, Continue, and Extreme.

5.0 out of 5 stars The last good GBC game, September 15, 2002

By 

Andrew Verner "Andrusi" (Concord, NC United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mega Man Xtreme 2 (Game Cartridge)

Too many idiots have complained about this game (elsewhere), saying that it sucks and then giving "they should've made it for Game Boy Advance" as their reason. That's not a reason, it's an excuse. This is a great game, and if you'd rather play it on a GBA than a GBC, be my guest.

Anyway, the plot is that all Reploids (for the uninitiated, reploid = robot based loosely on X's design) contain a special part that uses DNA molecule and acts more or less like the robot's soul (they call it a DNA Soul). Lately, Reploids have been mysteriously shutting down, their DNA Souls gone without a trace. X (sort of a Mega Man mkII, aka Mega Man X) and Zero (beam swordsman Reploid and now the star of his own GBA game) are sent to investigate, and discover that whoever took the Reploids' DNA Souls also collected those of several destroyed Mavericks (Reploids who turned bad from a virus) and used them to revive those Mavericks. And so the game begins.

Anyway, the game seems like two short games when you first get it, because you get a mission where you play as X and fight four bosses, and a mission where you play as Zero and fight four other bosses. After the four, you get an option to switch between X and Zero while playing, and then you tackle the Soul Erasers' fortress. The best part, though, is that if you beat one mission, save, and then beat the other mission, you gain access to Xtreme Mode, in which you fight all eight bosses (like a normal Mega Man game) and you can switch between X and Zero at any time (except in certain places, when they're supposedly both fighting at the same time in different places). You can get items to make the game easier by collecting DNA Souls from destroyed enemies (so if you're no good, just collect Souls for a while until you can buy the Ultimate Buster, Buster Plus 2, Speed Shot, Hyper Dash, and so on). This makes the game more accessible to less experienced players, while not ruining the difficulty for the hardcore Maverick Hunters out there. As always, there are capsules you can find that give X upgrades; what's unusual is that Zero gets upgrades now, too, although they mostly kinda suck (except the Zero Final, now THAT rocks). As usual, each boss takes a buttload of damage from another's weapon... but in the single-character missions, you won't have the weapon one of them is weak to, so'll have to use your peashooter--erm, X-Buster--to take him out. And of course, you still have Sub-Tanks for storing extra energy (this really comes in handy against the Xtreme mode final boss, who is... no, I won't spoil it, and if you care you probably know already). The graphics are pretty much the same as the first Xtreme, which was pretty good for Game Boy non-advance. The bosses they used this time around are Neon Tiger, Volt Catfish, Launch Octopus, Flame Mammoth, Wire Sponge, Overdrive Ostrich, Blast Hornet, and Tunnel Rhino. Each one has his original music (sometimes slightly remixed); the rest of the music (title screen, etc.) is taken from X2, except the victory music which is a slight remix of the X1 version. Overall, it's a great combination of elements from old MMX games, with some new stuff added in to boot. It would have been nice if the translation had been a bit better ("Reploid Research Lavatory"), but that doesn't really affect the gameplay.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS THE THE BEST MEGAMAN GAME!, January 30, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Mega Man Xtreme 2 (Game Cartridge)

This game rocks! Megaman has to recover all of the files of the robots. But, he has to fight robotic killers meanwhile. YOu can play as Zero, the red bot, or Megaman, the blue bot.
The levels are much more challenging than the first Xtreme game. And, the ending is different by which character you, the gamer, choose. I have beat it, and it still gives me bonus games to play.

This game is really great because you can be Zero. Zero is a playable character unlike Megaman Xtreme. This game also has better graphics and a sweet plot. I am definietly getting this game!
