    Although MMZ2 fails to deliver anything substantially new (sorry, Phil, powering up a blaster isn't exactly innovation), at least it serves up a solid action romp. [Nov 2003, p.201]

    Zero's ability to change forms based on how the player performs is a neat twist, and two-player action is something this series could have used long ago. But these additions are balanced out with a severely uneven difficulty level and stages rife with cheap hits. [Oct 2003, p.145]

    Unless you're simply determined to pay $30 for a painfully hard version of a game you've probably played countless times before in its previous incarnation, you can live without this one.

    All the GBA's power is utilized here to make a truly gorgeous little outing.

    As far as a sequel goes, Zero 2 contains the absolute least amount of improvements for me to consider it a good sequel. It's not great, and I'm sure Capcom knows that. There's nothing here that would cause anyone to believe this game was innovative.

    It uses its very limited field of vision to spawn enemies off screen(like the train level) to frequently diminish your health with little to no reaction time. It’s the same formula, same game as the first, but even more difficult in the cheapest way possible.

    I want to love Zero’s games but compared to the X series these games are garbage by comparison.    … Full Review »
