Let's just try to keep this short.I went into this not entirely knowing what to expect, but perhaps figuring something between a port and a full-out remake. If you're a fan of the original Mega Man X SNES game, I think you'll be in for a real treat. And you're in for a wild ride, on X Mode Hard Difficulty.heh.Note: Just don't mind the voice acting. Not in a bad way, don't get me wrong, just different. It's not terrible, it's just. Vile Mode especially is like a whole new experience, compared to the SNES version. Basically, it remains the same game - but having played the original SNES version since not long after it came out, I can tell you it doesn't feel exactly the same. It may have differences, but I can promise you it won't take long to adjust.
I didn't find it terribly difficult to pick up on, at least X Mode Normal Difficulty. Beyond that, as can be expected, it gets harder, especially (for me, anyway) Vile mode. That was probably the biggest let down in this game, for me. Personally, it's just not really what I had imagined - especially for Launch Octopus.
In order to breath life into a great classic game like this here is a good way to do it. The Graphics finally up to date slight changes and some the enemies were easier to take down but the difficulty setting put it were it belongs. Then you get to play as Vile and that was cool. All in all this Game is still great I very much hope and look forward to the rest of the MegaMan games getting thier turn like this.
Although I will admit, it's not a bad game, it's not quite as good as the SNES original. In short, those new to the Megaman X series should pick this up ASAP. While the SNES original was a fast paced action-adventure classic, this feels more like a Saturday-morning cartoon. Although, with the addition of the Vile mode and Day of Sigma anime, it's well worth the money. You won't be disappointed. However, the Megaman X veterans who still remember the original, will be.
I have to say that I really enjoy playing this game because it brings back memories of playing the very first mega man on nintendo. It is a very fun and well paced game.
Though the music we remember from the good old days of course have been remix, but that's not a bad thing. It's ONE of the best titles out there for the PSP, so if your shopping here for a good game on your little hand held, this is it, but let's go over a small review first:GRAPHICS: 8/10. Platforming, shooting and the ability to choose bosses to battle against is all still there, but with a few minor tweaks from Capcom to improve playing style.REPLAY VALUE: 9/10. You can say this looks slightly better than the Sega Dreamcast graphics at best.AUDIO: 7.5/10.
Plus there's also a new character named Vile which brings an entire different style of play (he as over 40 weapons). Sound effects like gun blasts and explosions are superb. The voice acting is well done and some of the are very familiar as well. Megaman Marverick Hunter X is F***ing awesome. For instance, regular enemies are tougher to kill, you take more damage, health items restores less and most bosses gain a few "special attacks."OVERALL: 8.75/10. Which means no slow downs whenever the game gets chaotic.
This game will get you going for about 3 to 4 times before you can put it to rest. The game offers a lot of versatility like play style.
Fun, simple and tons of replay value. Color, lighting, frame rate, special effects, shading, characters and backgrounds all looks great.
and story. It's just that when your playing the soundtrack just seems forgettable.GAMEPLAY: 10/10.
Tight and responsive controls, no lags and the frame rate of this catches up the action extremely well. Finally there's also Hard Mode, though there's only minor differences between Normal Mode.
Great game, very addictive.
