I remember before I actually bought this game, I had only played it a couple of times at a movie theater. When I got the PS2 version about a month ago or whatever, I was really excited. I popped it in, loaded it up, I tried to find Mega Man, ... 24 characters huh? Looks like 24 to me! I [felt disconcerted]. Then, after a while, I discovered an option called "Secret Factor". And I saw Mega Man in thar, and went "Huh? He's a HIDDEN character. Funny, because I could've sworn he was ready to access in the arcade version. So I had to beat the game, get some points, and I bought Mega Man. I was happy for the moment. Then I was able to get Captain Commando and M. Bison and Cammy. So I played some more, got some more points, I went to try and find Felicia and Morrigan, and they don't show up. I play t some more an hour later.... They still aren't there. Another 5 hours later.... Yawn... I'm going to bed. On a final note:This game {isn't necessarily the best} Why settle for this game when you can just play DarkStalkers or Power Stone??? Anyone that says this game rocks [could be mistaken].The original is a little better and more fun than this [one]. Please do me a favor people, and [reconsider if you should so desire]
