Rating: 4.5/5 - Electric Man 2 has to go down as one of my favourite games on the internet, full stop. It's not a new theme or genre of game, but it does the whole arcade fighting style so well, and in its own unique way. The graphics aren't of the highest quality but are quirky and interesting, the slow motion moves being particularly spectacular, and the music is very good (although you can't turn it off). Once you get a hang of the controls, which isn't difficult, the game becomes very fun and enjoyable to play, providing you don't mind violence. If you get bored, then the game provides handy "save codes" which you can input, allowing you to pick up your game later on, from where you left off earlier. Personally, I don't think it gets repetitive, but the lack of in-game features, such as new moves to unlock, for example, might make it so for some. But this isn't a love-hate game - it's incredibly entertaining, and definitely one I'll remember for a long time.
