''Mega Man Xtreme 2'' ('''''Rockman X2: Soul Eraser''''' in Japan ) is a spinoff title in the '' Mega Man X '' series of video games from Capcom. It is the direct sequel to '' Mega Man Xtreme '', released the previous year. Chronologically, it takes place between Mega Man X3 and Mega Man X4 .


STORY


Reploids around the Earth have been losing their DNA souls, which are being used to strengthen a growing army of undead Mavericks on the mysterious Laguz Island. With the help of their new friend Iris, X and Zero head out to stop them.


CHARACTERS



GAMEPLAY


This game plays sort of similar to the first Mega Man Xtreme title, except that the player can choose between playing as X and playing as Zero. Both have special skills that help them through the stages, but each also has weaknesses as well.

X uses his X-Buster to shoot enemies from a distance. It can be charged three levels.

Zero uses his Z-Saber for close-range combat. He takes more damage by getting closer to enemies, but his slashes hurt more than X's bullets.

The major change in this game is that X and Zero do not each gain a weapon when a boss is defeated; only the one who defeated said boss gets it, making the player decide what the more effective moves would be for which characters, and which are needed to reach power-ups.
