==Story==
 +
After Coton the Cyborg (ECO 35-2) defeated the liquid metal Supervisor in combat in the previous game, she used her morphing ability to assimilate him into her own consciousness. Coton's thought patterns were cloned and used to bolster the artificial intelligence of the Supervisor, who used fragments of his consciousness in selected robots to imbue them with the ability to improve upon their own design.
 +
 
 +
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 sent them earlier. The Anarchy Virus was released to the main building of Electrocorp, and it infected most of the robots previously under Supervisor's control. The robots started battling each other, disconnecting from the neuronet, quickly depleting the numbers of the Supervisor's army. In the chaos, Coton uploaded his consciousness to another robot to attempt another attack on the Supervisor.

Likely due to the cool reception of the original ''Rise of the Robots'', ''Rise 2'' chose to completely overhaul its combat system over its predecessor, creating something more akin to ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' (complete with "executions" (fatalities) at the end of matches).

The player can select one of 18 different robots (as opposed to just Cyborg). All of the previous game's robots make a return, however some were "modified" and given new names. A further 5 robots are unlockable.

    It is sometimes erroneously referred to as Resurrection Rise 2 because of the placement of the words in the logo.

    Story

    After Coton the Cyborg (ECO 35-2) defeated the liquid metal Supervisor in combat in the previous game, she used her morphing ability to assimilate him into her own consciousness. Coton's thought patterns were cloned and used to bolster the artificial intelligence of the Supervisor, who used fragments of his consciousness in selected robots to imbue them with the ability to improve upon their own design.

    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 sent them earlier. The Anarchy Virus was released to the main building of Electrocorp, and it infected most of the robots previously under Supervisor's control. The robots started battling each other, disconnecting from the neuronet, quickly depleting the numbers of the Supervisor's army. In the chaos, Coton uploaded his consciousness to another robot to attempt another attack on the Supervisor.

    Gameplay

    Likely due to the cool reception of the original Rise of the Robots, Rise 2 chose to completely overhaul its combat system over its predecessor, creating something more akin to Mortal Kombat (complete with "executions" (fatalities) at the end of matches).

    Robots

    Move lists assume the player is facing right. If facing left, Left and Right should be reversed. P refers to any of the punch buttons, while K refers to any of the kick buttons.

    All seven robots from the original game return, including the final boss, the Supervisor. Some of the robots have been renamed: the Builder is now called the Prime-8, the Military is now called the War, and the Sentry is now called the Rook.

    All of the robots except for the Rook have alternative counterparts: the Chromax and the Insane, the Crusher and the Vandal, the Cyborg and the Necroborg, the Detain and the Deadlift, the Loader and the Lockjaw, the Prime8 and the Griller, the Suikwan and the Steppenwolf, the Supervisor and the V1-Hyper, and the War and the Salvo.

    Music and sound

    As with the original game, it also had the involvement of Brian May from the band Queen. As with that game, only one track of his made it to the final release, titled "Cyborg," which is used for the title screen. This track appeared on Rise 2 first, and a redone version was later included on May's solo album Another World in 1998.
