Vectorman 2

While this is a good game, I feel the Original is the better game. While the first game looked to be a Tech showing off game (to try and show genesis can keep up with the snes), this one seems to exist purly to say that the game got a sequal.

Mostly gone are the fansy lighting,fake transparacy and 3D rendered sprites/backdrops and in its place a more Earthworm Jim kind of art style. Thats not a bad thing of course, but its not pushing boundaries like the first game did. I mean right from the title screen, it doesnt have any kind of wow factor like the first game did.

While the game opens fairly promising its soon starts to get abit 'samey' as in you get repeated levels. Its like the devs had missed some kind of deadline and without enough levels to fill the game out they repeated a few levels. The Tank stages feel like they should have been bonus levels. The ending I feel is particuarly lazy and is pretty much the same as Doom Troopers I watched earlier.

The video includes the 3 bonus levels played through. I missed the first one on my initial run through the game so ive simply stuck it in where it should have appeared. The scores wont match up after this point of course, but lets not focus on that I also cut out a few repeat bonus rounds as they to borring to have to watch a second or third time.

The game is abit easier then the first game as there is so much Time available in the levels and more energy pickups. The game was played on Hardest difficulty.
