Original Vectorman developer BlueSky is masterminding the sequel, and it doesn't look like it's holding out on anything for Vectorman's second performance. Seems like Vectorman's turning into a flesh-vampire. In fact, one of his new powers is called the Assimilation Morph:Vectorman can actually take on the characteristics of certain enemies by shooting his hand out at them. Whereas Vectorman's opponents in his maiden voyage were predominately robots, in Vectorman 2 he's up against a whole variety of nasties from the animal kingdom, including crazy army ants, giant fleas, and putrescent pusbags.Vectorman himself has a few new morphs to show off. Vectorman 2 apparently takes place in a wilder and weirder world than the first. Now we can finally give our answer: It sure is!Īs we went to press, our info on Vectorman 2 was pretty sketchy, but we're not completely in the dark. Vectorman 2 is the most addicting Genesis game this year.and it may be one of the last, so enjoy!īoy, were we surprised when this one came winging in right under the wire at press time.You readers have been writing letter after letter to the VG offices, asking us if this cart would ever be a reality. It's simple, mindless fun-just like the good old days. The sound effects are right on target, and now Vectorman speaks, with phrases like 'Needed that' and 'Yes!' interspersed throughout the game.

It's a two-button game: 5.0 you shoot and you jump (and jump higher by tapping the button twice). Also, you'll see variations on the same enemies over and over again. Smooth rendering and 4 5 gorgeous backgrounds are offset by slowdown in some areas and a lack of detailed enemies. Don't move on to next-gen until you've given this last-gen title a shot. Vectorman 2 injects a little life into the slowly fading Genesis market. However, its humor (like a lava level called Magma PI) makes the time pass quickly. The game is tough, with steady shootin' throughout. It's not so much a treat for the thumbs, though. Minor touches, like better light-sourcing, help make V2 a treat for the eyes. Rendered, next-gen graphics (all the rage these days) are incorporated into this 16- bit title. Add to this spectacular and complex levels, and you have the makings of a Sega classic. V2 has cleaner graphics, more sound and voice effects, and faster, smoother gamepiay. This sequel to the sleeper hit from last year is better than its predecessor in many respects. For those faithful fans who have seen their Genesis go from trusty to dusty, get ready: Vector- man is back in town, and this ball of fun just got better! Vector Victorious!
