Vectorman 2


Naturally, I moved right along to Vectorman 2. Because what else is there to do once you've played Vectorman? I praised Vectorman, in my post minutes ago, for having the best-looking graphics of any game I'd seen on Sega Genesis. I must immediately correct myself, for Vectorman 2, which came out in 1996, blows Vectorman away.

Eh, no it doesn't. There's an animated GIF-quality 3D rasterized intro, in which we see Vectorman bopping along in his spaceship, but beyond that this was virtually the exact same game as the first one, from the graphics to the gameplay. They didn't even switch up the HUD presentation at all, opting to use the exact same typefaces and icons and such to show how much damage you've taken and how many lives you have left.

The real kicker here? Vectorman 2 doesn't even get its own Wikipedia page. Instead it shares a page with Vectorman. What more do you need to know?
