Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker x Ninja

An improvement on the same old formula. It plays exactly the same in the overall sense, but it refines things a little, patches in a new story, and generally upgrades things to be better suited to the DS system, avoiding gimmicks in favor of polishing the gameplay and graphics. To casual players, it is mostly the same game.

If you absolutely loved the Battle Network games or played the first Star Force to death, then this is probably a game that you'll want to look into - it's a solid title with a lot to offer. [July 2008, p.83]

Mega Man: Star Force 2 offers a new form of RPG gameplay for the series but it doesn't stack up as well as other Mega Man games

Bad graphics and repetitive play make Mega Man's latest adventure a dull one.

The story is awful, and the gameplay isn't solid enough to carry the weight of an entire RPG.

It would be nice to see Capcom do something a little more radical with this series, but we've probably got another three or four indistinguishable sequels to get through before there's even a chance of that happening. It's still a fine enough game, but the played-out presentation and quest full of repetitive backtracking and fetch quests fail to excite.
