As well as not just one but a four alternate armors, with different features like allowing you to walk on spikes. However you have to gather parts for all these armors and that goes back into the timer being a problem. X5's plot is where it starts getting convoluted. The production values leave something to be desired as well, instead of cheesy but still great animated scenes, we now get still-images with plenty of reading material.
When you look passed X5's faults, the game is still a lot fun to play and at the end of the day, that goes a long way. X3 is a fun title, but not one I go back too often. Gameplay is more or less the same from X and X2. X3 doesn't do anything to stand out. However, there's some fancy new ride armors, and you can play as Zero for the first time by switching out with him through the pause menu but you'll switch back for boss fights.
Zero however only has one life, if you lose Zero once, he's gone for the rest of the game. Zero also is rather clunky in X3, he has this weird chunkiness to him. He's not very fun to play as in this game.
The music in the SNES version is pretty bad. There's a couple catchy tracks for sure but the instruments are not as varied and have a grating quality. It's not Mega Man quality, that's for sure. The actual compositions are not that bad though, so I recommend getting the Saturn or PSone version of the game.
Which also feature some neat animated scenes. Over all a decent game, worthy of a Mega-fan's attention but not one I'd often recommend to the average person. X5 was originally intended to be the final chapter for the X series but Capcom went ahead and pushed out another one. The result is some lazy level designs, and flawed, you can even get stuck and be forced to restart. That may have been preemptive, as Mega Man X8 is easily one of the better games in the franchise.
X, Zero and Axl with a much more balanced personality face off against recurring villains Vile and Sigma, but they discover an even greater threat behind the usual suspects. The 2. You could even unlock three secret characters — the first playable female protagonists in the main series.
While Mega Man X: Command Mission doesn't have any bearing on the overall series narrative, it's a side story well worth exploring. X, Zero and Axl take on a mysterious new foe known as Epsilon, but even more sinister Maverick forces may be behind the new villain's plot. In addition to the regular three heroes, you could also recruit four charismatic new characters, including a ladylike thief, a conflicted strongman and a sly gambler.
Longtime fans need not worry; it's still pretty difficult. The original Mega Man X is still one of the best. Rather than just continuing the lovable little robot's adventures, the developers created Mega Man X — a futuristic freedom fighter with bigger levels, a darker setting and more hidden upgrades to find. To square off against Sigma and his eight animal-themed bosses, X would need to collect armor upgrades, heart tanks and life-restoring sub tanks — all well-hidden and most requiring multiple play-throughs of each stage.
Mega Man X remains a deep, difficult, satisfying adventure. Mega Man X4 marks the first time that Zero joined the cast as a fully playable character, and to mark the occasion, he got his very own story mode. To get the full Mega Man X4 experience, you have to play it twice: once as trusty Maverick Hunter X, and once as the brooding, beam-saber-wielding Zero. They did it so well they've released dozens of games that all play essentially the same.
No one, absolutely no one, asked for a Mega Man X game fully playable in 3D. Because we knew it would be terrible. And surprise surprise, X7 was by far the worst of the series, considered by many to be absolutely irredeemable. The high speed, reflex-heavy gameplay was hamstrung by the addition of needing to navigate a camera around a sparsely fleshed-out 3D environment. The other problem is that if they wanted to make the game 3D, to begin with, they should have committed fully to it. MMX7 could switch between 2D and 3D whenever it felt like it, which meant that the design team needed to make sure it could work in both perspectives, essentially creating two games.
With knowledge like that in mind, it's no wonder it was such a stinker. Zero was the breakout star of the X series, eclipsing its main character so much so that Keiji Inafune left the series to work on a series starring him in the future. Zero is far cooler than you will ever be. He almost killed Sigma before the series even started, he comes dashing to X's rescue in the first game, and only gets cooler from there.
Plus, he also has a badass laser sword that cuts through anything like it's tissue paper. He's a damn robot Jedi in a massive suit of armor that can destroy the world, what's not to like? Even while he doesn't have any of the help from Dr. Light like X does throughout the series, he stands as X's equal throughout, even surpassing him.
And after being in over a dozen games across two series so far, it seems like only Zero can beat Zero. This is so high on the list because of how much I think the Mega Man X series vies for this title.
There's a ton of good music to be found just in Mega Man X alone, and the series keeps that trend for a good part of the series, just like the Mega Man games.
It fights such a valiant fight. Unfortunately, the classic series has the ace up its sleeve that MMX just cannot touch, no matter how hard it tries: Mega Man 2. Far and away the most iconic soundtrack out of any Mega Man , hell, possibly any Capcom game, MM2 is a gem of chiptune-y goodness. There are covers upon covers of the game's various themes, from Bubble Man to Metal Man to everyone's favorite, Dr. Wily's Castle Theme.
There's no doubt that X tried to match its predecessor, but barring a freak accident, the battle was over before it even began. There could have been some great story moments between Protoman and Mega Man, but there's nothing much over the course of ten games.
Mega Man X actually has interplay between X and Zero, giving them a back and forth and a relationship that was tested again and again as the series went forward. And while the story between X and Zero is a one-up on the other series, where MMX runs away with the prize is in how fun Zero is to play.
In MMX4 , Zero is fully playable for the first time, and it's a totally different experience. He's more melee-focused and agile, and while he ends up getting hit a bit more than X would, he's a true delight to play, giving players two fully-fleshed out characters in one game.
And there you have it! It may have its flaws, but after a long fight, X reigns supreme. Think I'm wrong? Think I'm right? Along with wholeheartedly opposing the urge to inject any innovative twists or interesting gimmicks, Mega Man X6 cannot even claim to be a redundant but adequate rehash. Owning the worst level design in the series, Mega Man X6 was bad enough to force Capcom to take the sequel in a different direction.
Due to none of the entries altering or improving the formula in any significant way, Mega Man Star Force 's three games are going to be lumped into a single spot. Straight out of the gate, Star Force felt tired and devoid of original ideas. There are worse RPGs out there, but that is not really saying much.
Capcom's handheld Battle Network line has to rank among the franchise's most beloved secondary series. Nevertheless, the same may begrudgingly admit that Battle Network 4 is slightly awful. The fourth entry's saving grace is Soul Unison, an ability allowing Mega Man to temporarily assume another character's attributes. Battle Network 4 also introduces Dark Chips, a mechanic influenced by Mega Man's emotional state in battle. While they provide a temporary power boost, Dark Chips come with too many consequences to be viable options.
Addressing solely the core series, Mega Man has never truly produced an awful sequel. As nearly all of the entries have their positives and negatives, newbies should consider playing through the entire collection rather than sticking to the conventionally adored games.
Mega Man 6 reeks of complacency. With Mega Man X on the horizon, Capcom's sequel feels like an afterthought created to tide fans over until the debut of the bit series.
The story, stages, and bosses are — at best — serviceable; at worst, Mega Man 6 is redundant. The only entry in the main series produced for the SNES, Mega Man 7 's colorful bit aesthetic distracts from the sequel's refusal to alter anything about the core experience.
Just to be clear, 's platformer is perfectly playable — few Mega Man titles fail to exceed such a low bar — and the visuals are pleasing on the eyes. The gameplay is fine, although there is less of it than the preceding entries.
In fact, Mega Man 7 drops the eight selectable stages for a measly four. Despite its shortcomings, Mega Man 7 is a-okay. The original deserves credit for boldly altering the fundamental ingredients associated with Capcom's license. Gone were the platforming sections and situational weapons, replaced by real-time action-RPG battles and a card-based attack system.
Mega Man Battle Network has our respect. The sequels improve pretty much every element introduced in 's original RPG, but Battle Network is still a satisfying experience in its own right.
Taking into account Mega Man X5 was meant to be the last entry in this particular series, the subsequent games' noticeable decline makes a bit of sense. For all intent and purposes, X's story reaches a satisfying conclusion in Mega Man X5. Everything past this point is filler. Mega Man X5 is a fitting finale.
