Yet another Mega Man hack that requires perfect jumps. There are some interesting puzzles in the Wily stages but the game is impossible for the average player. Some of required me to use Game Genie codes because they were so weird. It's not even rewarding when you pass certain parts; it's just onto the next impossible challenge over and over again. It's a shame, though, because there is great level design, enemy placement (too hard at times), and redone graphics. Cannot recommend.

Rockman 2.5

Levels: Excellent

Graphics: Good

Music: No Change (other than boss bgm)

Enemies: Eh (increased health)

Bosses: Eh (new weaknesses, Flash Man)

Weapons: Eh (rebalanced ammo usage)

Castle: Good (Platforming heavy)

Difficulty: MEDIUM (Wily stages are HARD)

Comments: A good hack that's strength is in its smart level design. Stages have a lot of tough jumps, but there's plenty of goodies per stage to offset the danger. Disappearing blocks and lasers are also tough but fair. The Wily Castle on the other hand is well-designed but very, very unforgiving, forcing the player to do multiple tricky jumps in a row over pits & spikes. Impressive vanilla hack that's as tough as nails, second only to NEO.
