Mega Man 2 on iPhone / iPod Touch

[MegaMan1311]

Own an iPhone / iPod? Then you're in luck. Mega Man 2 is now on the App Store for $5. It isn't quite the same game, though.

The gravity in the game is very messed up, as Mega Man now jumps higher, and he gets knocked back further from attacks. This new jumping ability allows Mega Man to go places where he should not, and even jump over some obstacles, like floating platforms. The game seems easier to me (not a good thing), as well. The controls are not very good, either. The game features a on-screen joystick and two buttons, that often don't realize that you tapped on them. Mega Man can now fire a rapid stream of bullets, as well.

Ign, actually, gave it a 1/10. Not good. While I do not think it is nearly as bad as they say it is, it certainly is NOT the original Mega Man 2.

Despite all of that, however, I still say that, for any Rock Man / Mega Man fan with an iPhone / iPod Touch, I say get the game. It gives you a little taste of the Mega Man experience, even when you are not near a NES, or other other platform that has a classic Mega Man game on it.
If this was a review, I'd give it a 5.5/10, simply because it is a Mega Man game that can be played on the road without carrying a Gameboy / DS / PSP with you.

Wow it's very cool ! You have a iphone !

And I 've known that megaman classic series can play on mobile phone after all I've downloaded it , I's really bad in the control !It's speed is really terrible and keep bug when you playing ! I lost to many boss because of the bugs.Anyway now I finished all that can play in mobile phone.

iphone is an advanced mobile phone so I think that the game can play on it will be advanced too but now I think I'm wrong ...

Ute iPhone is an advanced mobile phone, but the DS is the same in the handheld relm as well, like many other games, iPhone games have quirks, sensitive calculations take tons of RAM, something that the iPhone can run out of quickly (have it on for weeks at a time and you'll know what I mean...)

Omega, by weeks, you mean days, right? Especially of heavy use. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my iPhone, but RAM is not its strong-point, and it does have some quirks.

Also, Omega's right, the iPhone / iPod Touch, although it is not intended to be, is in the same market as the Nintendo DS. Both Touch Screen-based, and both have some good games on them. IMO, the iPhone gets the more revolutionary, amazing games, while the DS gets more of the classic-type games (Mario, MegaMan, Zelda, etc.).

The iPhone is an advanced mobile phone (and gaming system) though. It just has some issues, and you have to be very careful when building games on it. Capcom was not so careful, hence the issues the game has. All of the major issues can be fixed in an update, but I doubt Capcom will make one.
