After the tedium of farming money in Z1, I'm playing Mega Man Zero 2. Dude, this game is already like... 50 times better than Z1. Tighter level design, better structure, cooler music and bosses.
Phoenix Magnion's stage must have been designed by 4 or 5 people who had their own great ideas (including a Space Invaders mini-game!) and then the director decided to just add everything. There's like 3 alternate paths in that stage, non-linear objective, exclusive mini-bosses... cool stuff. Or hot, 'cause it's... lava...
I'm getting the EX Skills and Forms to have a complete file. So far, no problem (my rank is A, but I got a 99P on that one stage, so my average is a pretty high A).
