    I have been a Mega Man fan ever since I was about 6. I beat them all within a week each. But things sure did change when X6 came out. This game actually took me more then a week to beat. I think the longer the game is lasting and how much you are enjoying it are the main commponents for a good game people say "but it's to hard!"personally I would want a hard game then a game you would beat in 4 days, because you don't get your money's worth. I rate it a 8 because it was just the right amout of a challege for me and they don't have X's girly little voice anymore. But hearing a languge you don't no can get annoying, but don't get me wronge it's better then the girly voice. In X6 you can finally duck and the armor is cooler. The graphics are good but not the best. But I find the 2d mega mans funner then the legends. Expand

    I played every game with mega man in it's title, from the old NES games to the new playstation games, and I beat every game within one or two days and i've just got to say that this game is my all-time favorite!!! MMX5 was good because of Zero, but this game is good,with Zero just being a secret character!! It even has got it's voice system back, which was missing in MMX5, so what ya going to say now? Gotta go, greetings to all MMfreaks in the whole world-cArn,Germany. Expand

  1. The plot is in badly translated Japanese and makes little sense, but still the game is curiously 'unputdownable'.
  2. Decent-looking and extremely fun,...fast, tough, fun and a solid 2D blast from the past that is priced just right at $30.
  3. The kind of game you can’t get out of your mind. Though frustration may make you set it down (I limited myself to about an hour a run) it’s a game you can always come back to.
