The plot is in badly translated Japanese and makes little sense, but still the game is curiously 'unputdownable'.
-
Decent-looking and extremely fun,...fast, tough, fun and a solid 2D blast from the past that is priced just right at $30.
-
The kind of game you cant get out of your mind. Though frustration may make you set it down (I limited myself to about an hour a run) its a game you can always come back to.
-
Full of great gameplay and action, great graphics, great sound, great control, and great frustration.
-
A bit of a step backwards in comparison to MMX5, which is still my current favorite in the Mega Man X series. That said it's still an excellent 2D action game that Mega Man fans won't be able to pass up.
-
Ultimately, MMX6 will appeal to fans of the series, but gamers looking for more than strict jump-n-shoot fare should look elsewhere.
-
Despite these shortcomings, it's still Mega Man, and the gameplay is still entertaining, making X6 an attractive package for hard-core Mega Man fans.

Game InformerThe environment designs are not as creative, the stages are way too short, and the boss battles are surprisingly easy. [Feb 2002, p.94]
-
If you're a Mega Man fan, then you've already purchased the game and have been playing to your hearts content. You can move on to other parts of the web-site.

Official U.S. Playstation MagazineActually worse than its recent predecessors. [Feb 2002, p.116]
-
Its not an intense game, but the decent 2D gameplay is as solid as ever.
-
A game rusted stiff by recycling and repetition. The gameplay is still there and the challenge has taken some steroids, but there's no heart.
-
Electronic Gaming MonthlyI thought Id sooner see Sasquatch ride a Chimera bareback through the streets than a bland series like Mega Man X last through six installments. [Feb 2002, p.172]
-
The once fresh and inviting Megaman franchise has grown putrid.
