Critic Reviews for Blaster Master Zero 2
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the series or are just getting into it for the first time, Blaster Master Zero 2 is a stellar and enjoyable experience from stem to stern, and just goes to further cement Inti Creates’ legacy as one of the best developers in the retro gaming business.
Blaster Master Zero 2 is a clear improvement on its predecessor. The graphics are slightly better, the story is better written, and the soundtrack is more diverse; I could go on and on. Maybe Zero 2 won't make a convert out of you if you didn't enjoy the first, but it is well worth exploring for fans of Inti Creates and Blaster Master.
Blaster Master Zero 2 continues with the reboot of the classical series and does quite a good job at providing a game that's fun and challenging, with an appealing audiovisual environment. While the difficulty level is not always constant, this is a competent effort that can be enjoyed by players of any profile.
