Story:A routine sludge barge excursion is cut short when a mysterious missile critically damages VectorMan’s ship. Vectorman escapes destruction and freefalls back to earth, landing on the outskirts of a seemingly abandoned research facility.
Throughout 16 levels, Vectorman uses his arm as a cannon to eliminate enemies and can transform into different objects such as a plane or a drill. Its challenging gameplay and futuristic aesthetic made it a Sega classic, still remembered as one of the best titles on the console.
Vectorman 2 may not be as good as the original. But still a decent run & gun platformer. You take on insects instead of machines. The goal is escape the insect planet with a huge variety of stages. Some of my favorite stages in the franchise are presented. I always loved the cover for a long time. It's more of an mechanical awesomeness with a volcano in the background. Some challenging boss fights that test your skills. Plenty of secrets hidden through out the game. I would even dare to say among the most underrated Genesis sequels ever!!! The soundtrack is nearly as great as the original. I personally felt some of the sound effects stands out a little more. Some of my favorite forms in this as well. Vectorman 2 was a good sequel. It just felt a little more it's own than an actual sequel. Not quite expansion packs for FPS games in the 90s either. Let's put it this way what helped you in the original Vectorman. Likely won't help much here at all. It is a longer game with a very notable learning cuve especially in later stages. You get a game that's amazingly better than what majority saying about it. Vectorman 2 does stand well enough on it's own.
