Simple graphics, decent gameplay, very long, very good.

As good as it is, this game is pathetic compared to Tactics Ogre – (1998 game) on the Game Boy Advance SP because of some significant flaws in gameplay. It gets better though.. and it’s MUCH MUCH MUCH longer. Holy crap it’s a long game.

This is Mega Man 1 to 8 (with 9 and 10 being locked)

This is definitely better than Mega Man X Collection – (2006 game), for reasons I can’t articulate. Mega Man 8 pimps the Mega Man (1994 TV series) quite hard, with a nonsense intro sequence that drags on and on.

This isn’t my style of game.. I still don’t understand the fact that enemies and shots can go through obstacles, and occasionally the universe will move and I’m forced to move or be pinned between the universe and the obstacles and die a horrible death.

Has Mega Man X 1-6

I’m not really a fan of this style of game.

“Not bad”, but not that great either. Quite interesting gameplay. Has definite potential.

The progression of the game is ponderous. The visuals are terrible, the gameplay could be a lot worse. I suspect that there is some fundamentally bad mojo with the game engine.. the interface is “okay”.. all in all it’s not a keeper.
