Customer Reviews:

Very good at the start, but... [Posted on 2005-08-27]
Very good for the first 4 stages, but, after stage 4, you will be in Sigma's Fortress to defeat Vile, and believe me, this is the most frustrating stage I have ever played on any game! If you thought the first 4 stages were hard, you are in big trouble, because, after you defeat Vile, you have to go through hell just to make it to Boomer Kwanger and after Kwanger, you have to defeat the most frustrating boss of the stage, the Bobspider! Unless you love frustration, I would not reccommend this game, as it gets much harder to the point that you completely put the game down.

it was fun for a little while [Posted on 2006-07-28]
I started this game when it came out and i took me forever to find and get everything (including Ryu's Hadu-Ken special move)
but now i find that the game gets dull FAST my friends and I have played this game so much we can kill ALL the bosses with the X-buster alone but its still a fun game for wasting an evening with (or a few minutes)

Awesome Classic [Posted on 2006-11-11]
Great music and gameplay. Perhaps the best part is the setting. The cartoonish robotic world is forever entertaining. You'll have to play this game a long time before it gets dull.

The best Mega Man game. [Posted on 2007-04-01]
I can find no flaw with this.It perfectly escalates from pretty easy to challenging.I remember as a kid loving the way you can take the powers of the boss you defeat.It just has great interactivity,and all sorts of gadgets.I also love the way in the beginning,you don't have to go through the levels in a certain order.I'd skip the original Mega Man games and buy this 1st.Then,if you like it,try the sequels which are pretty much just as good.

Mega Man Grows Up! [Posted on 2008-07-02]
I first spotted this title at Blockbuster Video on sale brand new, unaware that there was even such a title. Needless to say, I harriedly scooped it up and walked steadfastly to the counter to pay. Got it home, and I was pleasantly surprised with the new direction.

At first, I thought that the "X" was roman numeral for 10, thinking that 3 other titles had been released sinceMM6 without me knowing it and then I realized that X is simply the name given to this new MM model. Anyway, enough minutae...this title is solid. X introduces the ability to acquire different armors and varios vital upgrades such as rocket boosts for X's feet, an improved mega buster, and helmet. In fact, some ares in specific stages cannot be accessed unless you are in possession of one of these advanced upgrades. This series also introduces the ability for X to scale walls, a necessary new twist for some areas.

The other major departure from the original series is that your main antagonist is no longer Dr. Wily: this time, it is a sinister "reploid" named "Sigma", as in, the last letter of the greek alphabet. Also, the robot masters no longer have the "man" suffix (ex: Flame Mammoth, Chill Penguin), which is actually cool. The battles are also varied as opposed to the initially predictable battles of years passed: most of the bosses have two different types of attacks that they use (ex: Storm Egale dives from the sky and shoots a horizontal tornado-like wind gust when he is land bound. This game also marks the first appearance of the dynamic ally Zero as well as the new "ride armor", which allows X to pilot a headless robot with huge arms and hands allowing him the ability to break stuff and access areas that the normal X couldn't.

Another great addition is the incorporation of heart containers. These containers serve to increase your vitality ever so much (about 4 bars). There are 8 to find in all and locating them only adds to the fun factor and advanced gameplay. There is a secret power up familiar to those of you who are street fighter fans, but...I won't spoil it for you here. It's a secret!

Anyway, just go get this game if you don't already own it. Or, pick up Mega Man X Collection for the 5th generation systems. It's a gem.
