The plot of Mega Man 2 follows the plot of the other 7 Mega man games to follow the series. Talk about beating a dead horse, but looking at a lot of games that come out today, a non changing plot is not anything new. But 9 games (there are a total of 10 in the series but the 10th is actually different) with the same plot, really Capcom, really. The plot of Mega Man 2 is you are Mega Man, an android converted into a battle bot and created by Dr. Light. You were created to defeat Dr. Willy and his 8 Robot Masters. You must first defeat each Robot master individually before you can face Dr. Willy. Each Robot Master has their own unique area and level with it's own unique enemy's and dangers.
The game takes place in an unspecified year in the 21st century. Now this game makes me think a lot like the book 1984 by George Orwell. That is because the game's technology is very high tech, but nothing close to the technology that we really have in today's world. Just like in 1984, The future was really over estimated. Be careful Mega Man, big brother is watching.

This is a very challenging mix between a shooter and platform gamer. It's difficult game play though plus its new additions to the gaming world make Mega Man 2 a fun classic game to play.
