In the sequal to the first Battle Network Megaman justifies how great of a character he is.
The elements of the game are pretty much the same. However, the story, massive assortment of new chips, and the .BAT system makes it a whole new battle.
The .BAT system allows you to harness elemental powers in the form of various suites. Pending on your fighting style you can obtain, Shield, Guts, Team, or Custom style Each has their unique advantages. When obtain these style come in 1 of 4 elements, pending on which you use the most. You can obtain Fire, Aqua, Electric,or Wood for any of the style. Because they are elemental you can deal double damage to certain enemies but also take double damage from others.
In this Battle Network when you use a chip, that is it. You can no longer use it in battle. Unlike 1, your chips will not restore. Once you use your 30 you have to rely on your buster and speed. You can select chip and use the add option to increase the number of chips you get each time your gauge fills.
There are also an awsome variety of Program Advances that deal massive damage. All you have to do is experiment with chip combos.
Multiplayer is fun. You can practice with a friend, or go at it in battle. In battle your most rare chips are on the line so make sure you can kick butt! You can also trade chips with a friend as well.
Overall this one is just a great game and I enjoyed it a lot.
