- ... ahem. >:-) (End Sarcastic Soapbox Mode)
-
- Okay, now you know my opinion of people who play on Easy level, finish the
- game, and declare it "too easy". But I *did* finish SoR2 last night, on
- Normal level. I guess they let Mr. X keep his machine gun from the last
- time I beat the snot out of him...
-
- If anyone else is looking for a good way to blast through this game, I have
- only one thing to say to you:
-
- AXEL.
-
- Axel Stone's new DP (what the heck is he trying to say? It sounds like
- "Random Paw", but I can do it fairly consistently :) ) is an excellent move
- that can get you through those particularly pesky enemies, especially Bald
- Bull and the Ultimate Warrior.
-
- Eddie "Skate" Hunter is definitely the most fun to play. He can scamper
- around the screen to easily keep one step ahead of the goons, and his
- attack-from-behind maneuver (The "My Momma's A WHAT?" Attack :) ) is
- downright hilarious. His throws are also much more fun to do.
-
- Max Thunder, as promised, is definitely the strongest attacker. His Atomic
- Drop, if you can grab a goon from behind, is a guaranteed kill against most
- Common Trash. Max is also devastating if enemies crowd around him, as his
- swings tend to encompass quite a bit of real estate in his immediate
- vicinity. His backward kick can KO some poor sap standing in front of him,
- and I feel sorry for the idiot who's right behind him when he swings that
- big ol' piece of pipe! :)
-
- Blaze Fielding...well, aside from the obvious physical things B) , there's
- really nothing in particular to recommend her. She has the Hadouken, and
- the slam-throw, but that's it. Attempting to use the Kikousho usually just
- gets you hurt.
-
- The music in this game just cries out to be played LOUD through your stereo.
-
- All things considered, if EB wants this game back, they're going to have to
- PRY it from my COLD
- DEAD
- FINGERS. B) B) B)
