But X8 has some other new ideas, including the ability to switch between characters during actual gameplay, that freshen things up. Again, it’s an experiment to mix things up that doesn’t work. Some levels feature awful, Star Fox-like space shooter stuff that is difficult to control and frustrating to play. It still uses 3D models, but the stages stick to 2D. Mega Man X8 course corrects a bit and is the better game. And the 3D character models lack the detail, style, and sharpness of the PlayStation pixel games. You just walk around and fight things without the platforming that makes the franchise special. That sounds innovative and exciting for a series that rarely experiments with the 3D world, but these sections are uninspiring. And while most of the game sticks to the 2D plane, stages have 3D areas. Mega Man X7 on PlayStation 2 was the grand experiment. I especially hate how much more often these entries literally pause the game to fill the screen with boring boxes of dialogue. That all seemed novel in Mega Man X4, but it quickly got annoying as the series progressed. But they also bloat themselves with even more of the anime-style story nonsense. They look and play similarly to Mega Man X4. Mega Man X5 and Mega Man X6 came out for the PlayStation. But they’re still fun! They just feel more monotonous, and some of them make strange design decisions. These are the four better games of the eight by far.None of these games are as good as Mega Man X … or X2, X3, and X4. He also learns different special moves than X does, so playing through the game as both characters offer different experiences.Īfter X4, the series would grow stale and make experiments that didn’t work out. In X4 and future installments, Zero focuses on a short ranged attacks with his energy saber. You could play as him a little in Mega Man X3, but he was mechanically more similar to X in that game. This is also the first in the series to let you play as Zero, X’s red friend, for the whole game. It’s still a 2D, pixel-based game, but its characters and backgrounds have more detail.
This is the first one that debuted on the PlayStation. Mega Man X4 is the more interesting sequel. They’re action-packed platformers, although they don’t feel quite as special as the original.
Mega Man X2 and Mega Man X3 are essentially more of the same. Mega Man X came out for the Super Nintendo, as did the first two sequels. Mega Man X Legacy Collection is a cool platform game that is based on the antics of the popular cartoon character Mega Man. And it gave us the signature movement abilities - dashing and wall jumping - that made this new Mega Man stand out from the originals. It introduced the idea of an edgier Mega Man without focusing too hard on bland stories. You’d think that one of them could top the original. That seems weird, right? Capcom made eight of these games. Mega Man X, the original game that started the series, remains the best of the bunch.
