The Story Behind Rise 2 - Resurrection

The seven robots (including the hidden character Supervisor) of the original game return with new graphics and moves, and aside from the original Rook, all have an offspring modified robot. Eight of the hidden characters are clones of the standard characters with similar moves and different graphics. Electrocorp scientists, fearing that Coton had been defeated and that the Supervisor would now target the city, prepared a counter-virus based on EGO from the information Coton had earlier sent them.

The Director's Cut version features 2 additional hidden characters, Sheepman and Bunnyrabbit. The hidden characters tend to be stronger than the other ones, and some are very easy to unlock while others are much harder. The in-game music features hard-rock themed music by Tom Grimshaw at Mirage, and a theme by Queen's guitarist Brian May entitled "Cyborg".

What You'll Play

In one-player mode, the player faces each robot in its own rendered and raytraced stage, while two-player mode allows the player to either choose the stage or to leave it at random. Players can choose from 256 different palette rotations for each robot. An extra CD contains a novel, extra music tracks, voices, footage on the making of the game, and the actual game has a number of new backgrounds.

The cyborg Coton from Rise of the Robots defeated his opponents and faced the Supervisor, who used her morphing ability to defeat him and assimilate him into her own consciousness. Each stage is graphically tuned to its corresponding robot, and some stages feature traps that players can use to gain an advantage against their opponent. At this point, the story ends, and it is left open-ended - and dependent on the player's ability - whether Coton is successful in either attempt.

Why It Still Hits

GameSpot gave the PC version a 5.1/10, saying that the graphics, music, sound effects, variety of characters, and overall atmosphere of the game are all excellent, but that the moves are awkward and difficult to perform, making the game no more than "an expensive screensaver".

They gave both these versions 1 out of 5 stars, saying the game is a step down from the already exceptionally poor original Rise of the Robots. Next Generation did not bother to review any version of the game until their end-of-1996 overview of the Saturn and PlayStation libraries. IGN gave the PlayStation version 2/10, declaring that "The original 16-bit Rise of the Robots was possibly one of the worst fighters ever made.
