The soundtrack is forgettable, sometimes intolerable but you'll be too caught up with the awful gameplay to notice. Good luck playing a close combat game with Zero. Ironically the clunky controls make Axl the the easiest character to use in the game,with his rapid fire and hover abilities. Instead you get to play as the new comer Axl, tagged up with Zero. it's what you'd expect from a generic 3D game, even the rare 2D sections don't have much going for them.įor icing on the cake, X isn't playable until you rescue 64 reploids, that'll take you about 5 stages at the very least. Also have fun trying to discern where you're positioned when jumping from platform to platform. The awkward camera angles are are usually locked, even when you do have control, you can only pan it horizontally with L1 and R1, leaving you frustrated as enemies spray you with shots from off screen.

Cringe worthy dialogue, voiced by what sounds like unpaid interns. In X7, you should think of the traditional 9 stages as the 9 circles of hell, the camera being Satan himself. It just so happens that X4 finally got a PSN release for PS3 and Vita, so hop to it! If you missed it back then, you owe it to yourself to pick X4 up. This is absolutely a must play for Mega fans! There's a reason why it's a PSone greatest hits title. In my opinion, the visuals are the best looking in a Mega Man game to date, no blocky polygons found here, just beautiful 2D sprites. We actually get to learn more about the lore here and Zero and Sigma's past.Īs any good Mega Man game, the soundtrack is catchy and memorable, I listen to it on a regular basis. For those looking for a more challenging experience, Zero's playstyle is sure to offer it.ĭepending on who you select, there's some differences in the story and supporting cast, with some great fully animated cutscenes, despite the cheesy voice acting. X4 is one of the easier games (aside from the final boss) but it's just good solid fun platforming. Zero's power ups are different as well, instead of projectiles you get special moves you execute with inputs like you would in a fighting game. On one hand you got your traditional X game, on the other a close combat game with Zero. Now with Zero as a fully playable character, there's two games in one here, with two completely different play styles. X4 is another step in the right direction for the series.
