I am an avid MegaMan nut. I have played and bested every megaman title that has been released on any platform(except for MegaMan & Bass, SNES/GBA) Yes even the 2 on the WonderSwan! (wiki it if you don't know what a Wonderswan is).

The graphics look very nice but the controls pretty much ruin the experience. I love Mega Man but wish I could get my money back.

As an avid MegaMan fan, I was one of the first out there to discover this app. After spending a good amount of time with the port to IPhone, I must say I am disappointed in the lack of effort Capcom has put in this game. Seriously Capcom, why? For those who are curious, here is a basic rundown:

Not much to say. The game looks great, but feels tiny in its "window" that isn't even half the screen. I agree with the other reviews that wish for a landscape version so the game will appear bigger.

Why wouldn't Capcom make the screen go all the way to the edges? Why did they put the joystick so far into the middle? And they took out half of flashman's stage! I guess they thought it would be too hard even though you have total air control. I am disappointed.

The game is the game, as you remember...except for the controls are way more difficult. While I appreciate the frame made to look like the arcade machine, it really sacrifices screen space that could be used to see the game, you know, because your playing it on a phone...

Great game from my childhood comes to my phone in it's entirety. Was concerned that amazing sound track wasn't included but if you go to options and turn SOUND ON, shazam. Best sound track ever. 5 stars. Would rate again. Here from x-play we give it a...THREE out of five....

Controls for joystick were a bit awkward, but high jumps and quick running made up for it. Great work Capcom!

I don't understand everybody's problem with the controls. I have played every iteration of this game since it came out, and this feels the same. I say get it.

First off there should be some type of landscape mode. Holding the phone upright can be annoying. Maybe you can have it with the joystick on the left and the two buttons on the right? And a large pause button would make things a lot easier. Or forget about the pause button, maybe you could take out the Mega Man header on top and replace it with an easy to navigate power-up switcher?

I love this game from back in the NES days and the soundtrack is CLASSIC!

I bought this despite all of the negative reviews. I thought "It can't be that bad." The controls need alot of work. I find myself going the wrong direction and falling from cliffs, or taking damage that could have been avoided. Landscape mode would help. I hope capcom fixes the issuses with this game. It could be fun to have more classic games on ipod/ iPhone. If Konami is reading maybe Castlevania, but only if the controls get perfected. So for now avoid this until it gets updated.

The controller is a little bit hard to use, screen can't tilt for widescreen could prefer megaman 6.

I really hope there's an update coming in the very near future. Megaman 2 without it's soundtrack is not what I paid 5 bucks for

Excellent. Would get a 5 if they add landscape mode and fix the bugs on the contols

I love the game! My only complaints r that the controls r too close andif he ran at a normal speed

I wish you could use the controls in landscape. Very uncomfortable to play the way it is currently setup.

I miss how simple things used to be. I want more old NES games on my iPhone! Sweet.

People are being way too hard on this game. First of all, there is sound and music, you just have to turn it on it the options menu. Second, the controls work fine. Believe it or not, Capcon were not able to make a NES controller pop out of your iphone. It is a touch screen people. Within about 10 minutes, I had gotton used to the controls and had beat 2 stages. Most of the elements of the game have been faithfully ported over. You will find the same sound fx and music but it seems to have been converted to sound files because music does start and stop at strange times. Also, the physics are way different. There seems to be less gravity in the game because everything, including Megaman, falls much slower. Of course, once you get used to this, this makes the game easier. Graphics are nearly the same as the NES version... which means they are terrible if you rate them according to iphone standards... but fans will love them. The only differences I have noticed is the lack of grapical artifacts such as flickering. This is a good thing, but purists might miss them. People new to the series will be happy to see an easy mode that does make the game MUCH easier. This is also nice for people to practice with while they adjust to the controls. I too would like to see a landscape option, but I'll live if they don't add one. I recommend this to any Megaman fans thay are forgiving to physics changes and are willing to spend a little time adjust to the touch screen controls.

So fun! I don't get what everyones problem is. This game is awesome! I just beat it and I have to say it's the best app for the iphone

I Love mega man and this app gives you the chance to play Mega man 2 anywhere you want.

This game is not as bad as people say it is. It would be nice if it filled the screen and it would be nice if the controls were spaced out a bit. I think people forget what controls were like on nintendo back in the day. It's still Mega Man and it's still fun once you get used to it.

Great port!!

I guess I’m not a Mega Man purest, cause I’m OK with the changes. I do think widescreen is a missed opportunity, and the controls do take some getting used to. It does scream for an update, but at the end of the day it’s still fun to play.

I was skeptical going into Mega Man 2 based on the reviews about the control issues. After playing though it on normal difficulty, I don't understand all the negative feedback.. Occasionally, the controls being so close together get in the way. I'll jump when I want to shoot and vice versa. However, 90% of the time, the controls work well. Dying was usually caused by an error made by me, not the controls. I can see how people with large thumbs will have issues. While it is not perfect, the game is fun and works well on the iPhone. An update allowing for landscape mode would be appreciated so the buttons are a bit further apart, but aside from that, Mega Man 2 great game to kill time with.

First there is sound second the controls r good i mean the controls arnt going to pop out of the screen last $5 isnt a lot if ur a true megaman fan i nean come on the whole game for 5 bucks dont think just buy

I must have played through Mega Man 2 at least a hundred times on the NES. This really is a disappointing port. I love the original, but the joystick and buttons are too close together and often times you will either hit the wrong button or both at the same time. The jump is floaty and the game does run a little faster then it should. Capcom, you should issue a refund for this one.

good game I geuss. never played the original but Ive played battle network and star force megamans, as well as megaman maverick hunter x. I know there's a megaman x game with similar graphics to this app's. please make magaman x for iPod touch or even better, megaman maverick hunter x. please understand that we have plenty of space on our iPods. also, we're willing to wait. but really, the iPod touch has a screen size similar to the psp's. at least make megaman x for the iPod touch.

Controls are a bit difficult to get used to, but my main problem is that megaman seems to jump higher and slower than in the original. The game is way too easy because of it.

if ur a mm fan than 5 dollas aint an issue so worth it and for people hoo say theres no sound read the description of the game idiots...

control are good i reccomend this game , come on guys dont cry saying the control is not good , my 4 yrs old son can play this game and take the control . i finished twise already this game .

Not worth the money, no sound the controls are bad we need a update with a landscape mode and improved controls

I will admit the controls were a rough to master, but now I can play very easily. Congrats to capcom for making the first leap into taking old games and making them on iPod. Could you possibly make Megaman 1 and 3-9 on iPod too?

This game is great and once you get the hang of it the controls feel natural

I do like the game and all those bad reviews means the people got big hands lol but all in all i like the controls and good size and the music is A+ like seriously i beat the game already

Yes, the modern controls take a lot of getting used to. Yes there are some slight differences from the original game (some of which I personally consider improvements). It even saves your progress for you so you don't have to remember a passcode! Bottom line, this game is freaking awesome to have on your ipod. Totally worth the price. I mean, you can play Mega Man WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT!!!! Don't let the negative reviews sway you. If you're a Mega Man fan, this belongs on your ipod. Period. Thanks Capcom!!

I think the reason why people find it hard to control is because there screen is dirty. This is just a theory though. P.S. Great App!!!!

control are good i reccomend this game , come on guys dont cry saying the control is not good , my 4 yrs old son can play this game and take the control . i finished twice already this game .

This is a great app. The controls are easy. The miss conception on the controls is that you don't have to tap and slide the joystick to move. Just simply tap a little to the left, right, up and down of the joystick to move Megaman. Just think of it as a NES thumbpad vice a joystick. The games sound is off by default, all you need to do it turn it on. The screen should be made bigger, but it's still viewable. Hope to see more Capcom games on the iPhone!

This version is great with minor issues but keep in mind its on your iphone.

I must say the controls are a little funny at first but as a true megaman fan I love this game funny controls and all. With that being said I'm sure we will get an update that will get this game 5 stars

ok it's a great classic game but it needs sound and I agree with others when I say as well this game should have a horizantal option sense the buttons are so close together and add a option to make the screen bigger please and this would be a perfect game while ur on the road

It's classic Megaman, and for the iPhone too, so it's difficult to not be satisfied with it. But there are certain parts where the inconsistent controls/physics interfere with the gameplay of those that enjoy the classic on the NES. Some areas that were originally very easy are extremely difficult because of the cramped controls and the very different jumping physics. Likewise, some originally difficult areas are now far too easy. Nonetheless, the game is still enjoyable. So unless you want to play a 100% perfect copy of the game, it's worth getting. But I do hope the developers work towards making it more like the original.

Very dissapointed with the physics in the version. For me, the way Megaman jumps is the biggest problem. Next, the joystick graphic feels awkward. Compared to the "other" emulated NES version, feels unplayable.

On next upagrade plz let the screen turn

Hard to play. Buttons could have been placed better. Make the view horizon in stead of vertical. Place attack and jump on the right side. And D pad on the left. ( would have been better ) Second to last stage funny bug. Run by DR. W space ship and u will go to a new level... Happened once tried once. Lots of fun!!!! Do more!!!! Work on buttons????

Please add a landscape mode

As I am able to play the original thru the NES emulator app and compare the two versions, i would say that this update is spot on. The music seems a little choppy here and there but its alright. Those of u who think he jumps slow obviously havent played the original. Before the update he jumped like a helium filled baloon. Thanks capcom for the great fix!

Woot hoo! you guys sure did improved the game play controller and sound. nicely done.
