A Reploid scientist named Dr. Doppler begins creation of a new city for Reploids, which will bring a new era of peace to the Reploids and humans. But something goes terribly wrong, and now Mavericks have begun to appear everywhere. It's up to X and Zero to find out who is behind this Maverick revolt and bring them down for good. Use the unique talents of each character to destroy enemies and assimilate new weapons and powers. Along the way, they will have to find a variety of secret items including a helmet and some robot armor. Located throughout many of the side-scrolling stages are heart tanks, health sub-tanks, and four types of part upgrades: helmet, leg, armor, and weapon. Also available to discover are four types of specialization chips and four suits of temporary, powered-up armor. The action otherwise follows the familiar blueprint of the sci-fi series, with eight themed stages filled with robotic minions to shoot down. Acquire each Maverick's signature weapon in preparation for the final encounter with evil Sigma. It was the first in the series to allow players the ability to play as X's friend, Zero. However, use of Zero was pretty much restricted to only about one third of each level, and only one life. So in short, once you used Zero in a level, you couldn't use him again for the rest of the level, and if he lost all his energy, he'd be put out of the fight for the rest of the game. The PC version was an enhanced version of the original SNES game and included remixed music and anime-style cutscenes. |
