MEGA MAN X2 PASSWORD THEME UPGRADE
As you work through each stage you'll see glimpses of areas, seemingly impossible to reach, but after gaining an upgrade or a new weapon you can go back and see what treat you were missing out on. The battle armour from the previous game is back, allowing you to stomp through certain sections punching anything that gets in your way, and the Desert Base stage gives you a hover bike to whiz along on. There's a variety of locations here with mechanical looking levels alongside mountainous terrain, a cave and a underwater stage. The stages are well designed, with your route through seeing you travel in all directions as you head towards the boss. Vanquish all eight and proceed to the final challenge or you can replay the stages to uncover some secrets.
