In my opinion, this is the best X-series game that has ever been released. I used to play X4 and 5 on my cousins' PS1 at my aunts house when they brought it, and that's what made me get Collector's Edition. Ah, the memories. Anyway, to the review. The music is very good (I actually didn't really like Dynamo's theme that much (*cough*Armin M.)). Probably my favorite music in the game is tied between: The stage intro (where it shows the boss before the level), the opening movie (especially the American version (longer)), and the final Sigma stage's music. For graphics, it is only surpassed by X6 in 2D graphics. For gameplay, every boss and level is different. I enjoy blasting the enemies to bits and when I have the Ultimate Armor's Giga Attack, I LOVE owning the bosses. Overall, this game is awesome and brings back some of my very fond early (I was 7) childhood memories.… Expand

game is enjoyable. It isn't as great as some of the other x-series games, but it's not a disaster by any means. The music is catchy (Dynamo), the option of X or Zero keeps the game fun. The difficulty wasn't too high, the bosses seemed harder with X than Zero, despite Zero's close-range handicap. The game get's INCREDIBLY fun when you hax the game and get X's ultimate armor from the very beginning. Oh how his Giga Attack amuses me so. The first final level was quite challenging, and in megaman fashion we see some familiar faces. In conclusion, not bad.… Expand

Although X4 is great, X5 is much better. I remember when this first came out, and I was all over it. Beat it 100% in a week.

Man!I have this game and I cracked the game!I always used Zero because of the saber. With it, I rock!

This game seemed subpar compared to the incredible Mega Man X4. The music is also not the best I've seen it at, but some tunes are good to hum to. The collecting of 2 different suits of armor, though, is new and is certainly welcome to the series. The game also starts you off with the X4 suit of armor if you play as X. Also, all of these new characters such as Alia and Dynamo seemed to pop out of nowhere, so there was no time for character development. They seem more of a nuisance than an importance. Try your best to listen to the story, cause it's a bit confusing. ANYway, I did enjoy playing this game, partly because I collected all the cool stuff. Any Mega Man fan will no doubt play this game over and over.… Expand

It's pretty good but not as good as as x4 I like x4's amour system more you find an amour piece you get it. but in stead of writing a novel I just gotta say buy it zero is so kewl.

It's cool!

I am very disappointed it will never live up to "Mega Man X 4" Which unfortunantely retired so Capcom made sure u little mega man posers did not get the best mega man game to ever hit the earth. I give mega man x 4 A 10.

Zero kicks azz and his black armor really kicks azz.

This is the best MEGA MAN game ever created.

Fans of the X Series will no doubt enjoy Mega Man X5 as the latest installment for the PSX. It's also nice to see a game that diverts from the incessant amount of 3D games and first/third person shooters out there. Ranked #15 out of the top 20 selling games of February, this game should definitely have a copy in everyone's home. The replay value is awesome, the graphics are fantastic, and the music is nostalgic. I loved it!… Expand

It's WICKED!!

This game was refreshing, just purely great. Well, I did get many headaches from solving the puzzles, particularly the level that comes after the rocket has been launched. I love the new moves you get with it, and the extras that you can obtain. :: Nods :: this game's cool. BUY IT NOW! or else someone will come and getyah!

I always liked mm for the NES and Gameboy...But wow this game is the bomb!

I don't really have this game, but I rented it once. Boy did it rock. I beat half the game. Alls I had to do was: 1.) Beat Squid Adler 2.) Beat the Zero virus place. Thats all I had to do. But I'm only 8 so... you know. If I had some more time I would have beat the whole game. There's something weird about me too! I suck at MMX4 but I'm better at MMX5. Strange huh?

I was always a fan of Mega Man, but Mega Man X gives older fans a new change, from getting the Armor suits from the type of ending. I like this game better then X4 becauce there is more stuff to find and more Armors to gather.
