Battle Network 2 is the perfect follow-up to the first Battle Network game. It has everything the first one did but more and bigger story and more chips to use in battle. The new things since the first game. It introduced the * code. A wildcard code that can be used with ANY lettered code, making combos much easier to create. The biggest introduction is the Style Changes: Guts, Team, Shield, and Custom Styles. After you acquire a certain plot item you will encounter a Style change ever 280 battles. Based on what chips you upload to MegaMan during the custom Screen or how you choose to battle, MegaMan will eventually learn a new style which helps your fighting style the best. Guts Style is for those who love to use their busters the most. My personal fave style. Your buster power is doubled, you don't flinch when hit nor lose your charge when hit as well. If you love using your buster this is your style. Shield Style is for those who love to be defensive and counterattack enemies. It starts you with a Barrier which protects you from 1 hit and by pressing B + Left you gain a shield on command for a second to block as well. My 2nd fave style to use. It even defends against AoE attacks like Bombs. Team Style is for those who love to use Navi Chips in battle the most. It allows you to carry 8 in your deck instead of the default 5. Awesome for almost sure fire hitting attacks on enemies. Especially Roll Navi chip abuse. Custom Style is for those who love to upload a lot of battle chips to MegaMan and/or use Program Advances a lot. It lets you start with 7 chips instead of 5 and if you add you can get up to 10 chips at once instead. Making combos and Program Advances much easier. These 4 styles make the game VERY enjoyable since it will literally adapt to your gameplay style. Also each style gets a random element attached as well in Heat, Aqua, Elec, and Wood. Each element only changes your charged buster attack and gives you that elemental advantage and its weakness as well. There's a secret Style as well... The story is roughly the same as the first. A new criminal organization has risen and wants to rule the world. Enter Netmafia Gospel, an organization that hates society and you as well. The things they do to people are much more diabolical than WWW in the first game. These guys are out for blood it seems and for a game more for kids...maybe I'm reading too much into but these guys mean business. Though if they can be stopped by a 10 year old and his Navi they can't be too threatening eh? Joking aside the threats are bigger this time around and most of the enemies have a reason for why they hate the world or something like that. There are much more areas to explore and the networks you go to are easier to look at and make it easier to tell if you are on a high path or a low path. The music is pretty good and the graphics are about the same as the first one. If you enjoyed the first game then THIS game will make you forget the first game even existed. Its SO MUCH better than the first and not once did I feel bored with the game. The enemies are much harder here and will kick your ass if you take em too lightly. Just like the first, all enemies have certain patterns and characteristics to them but with more terrain obstacles and more difficult enemies, its a blast going through all of the game. Pick this up if you want to try a Battle Network game. This or the first but I recommend this one overall.Read full review
It has a “catch-‘em-all” is element to the game with the battle chips, RPG elements, a pretty active battle system and not too bad of a main storyline. They did an excellent job with this game.
