I'm really amazed how popular Mega Man 2 is. Admittedly, the only NES Mega Man I've played was Mega Man 6, which I found to be highly enjoyable. And if there hasn't been a vote for MM6 yet...well...

What's so great about MM2?

Everything.

In particular I LOVED the music in it.

Mega Man 2 was astounding when it was released - it looked more like an actual cartoon than anything that had come before it. The music was amazing, some of the most remembered tunes in gaming, going from pump-uppity to haunting. But most of all, the game played like a dream, with lots of really cool levels and mechanics thrown in (who didn't love Metal Man's weapon?).

The only downside is that it was dead easy; like alot of games back then I finished it in a rental. I like the first Mega Man more in alot of ways, but the second game is what put the series on the map. In fact, I don't think Capcom's been able to make a MM game as good as that one since.

I too would really like to know what it is about Megaman 2 that so many people are voting for it. I always found Megaman 3 alot better. Better graphics, music, and the inclusion of rush.

[NeoZeedeater]

I'm not a huge Megaman fan but I can understand why people pick number 2 as their favorite since it was a big improvement over the first game and the series wasn't overdone yet.

Megaman 3 was probably my most played of the NES Megaman games.

Part II had TRIPLE NINJAS! That seals the deal.

Urgh...Sunsoft Batman, Blaster Master, River City Ransom....too many great games left off.

And something about Mega Man 3 never sat right with me. The enemies and levels just weren't as cool.
