Mega Man X8

THE GOOD:
-2D gameplay is back.
-There is no annoyingly frustrating music.
-Good graphics.
-Good storyline.
-New navigators.
-Ability to create Chips and use them.
-Lot of hidden items.

THE BAD:
-Some old characters are cut out.
-Game is really easy, even if you play on Hard and it is too short.
-Sigma is annoying and he is again back.
-All that thing about Lumine is interesting and about that new world, but it didn't last for long.
-Some levels and powers were just copies of previous X games.

SUMMARY:
This game is really a good thing if you look at this way:
Game creators didn't focus after X6 on Virus thing and that stuff. This story is all new and it really doesn't have connection to previous ones. New navigators, new enemies, intermissions, metals, chips, that's really awsome. The energy bar, although, reminds me of a X1, X2 and X3. The music is really cool. It fits...

THE GOOD:
Graphics, Music, storyline, characters.
3D game-play is removed
Challenging, but not frustrating
Lots of hidden items and unlockables
Unexpected plot twists
New Navigator System

THE BAD:
Nothing really. Its everything that MMX7 wasn't.

SUMMARY:
What can I say? This game improved and fixed all of the problems and annoyances of Megaman X7.

No annoying voices. The game uses the same voices from Command Mission. Axl is greatly improved upon, and is actually given unique skills and abilities so to avoid making him another copy of X. Zero is much better utilized in this game as well, and can use a number of unique weapons, as well as the Z-Saber. X himself, has two new armors, where he can interchange the parts, and use the best abilities of each.

Lots of new characters and plot twists (one of which being Vile's return). New feature to choose between three different navigators...

THE GOOD:
Side scroller - no awkward 3D parts
Lots of extras
Good Replay value
Get to use all 3 characters right away (no searching for zero etc.)
Cool weapons and enemies

THE BAD:
Boss voice overs are pretty crappy
Some of the bosses are very similar to old ones or ones from other games...

SUMMARY:
This is a great game. The characters animations are sweet and the graphics are good. There are a lot of weapons you can get for axl and zero, and the new armour system for x is cool. If you liked the old megaman x games, you'll definitely like this one. The 3D bits of megaman x7 are gone... guess ppl didnt like em. The return of Sigma is probably the coolest part... enemies with swords are always fun to play.

This game will last you a fair bit of time, as long as you try to get 100%

THE GOOD:
Vile is back

Good graphics

Axl is better in this game than he was in X7.

The gameplay is normal again. The gameplay in X7 was too slow.

Burn Rooster and Lumine. The coolest bosses in this game.

Good replay value

Good music

THE BAD:
To tell you the truth I didn't really find anything bad about this game.

SUMMARY:
Difficulty: Easy

You know I can't believe some people actually like X1 and X3 better than this game. I found them both to be the worst games in the X series but I still somewhat enjoyed them. I know alot of people hate X6 and X7 but this game is a big improvement upon them. You get to find rare metals to discover new powers in this game. Zero can even get Sigma's Blade once you beat the game!

Mega Man fans please buy this game or atleast rent it. This game deserves a perfect score of 5/5 or 10/10.

THE GOOD:
Much better than X7
Tons of secrets
High range of difficulty
Weapons are fun to use
Vile is back
Lot's of replay value if you want completion

THE BAD:
Crappy voice acting, most of the time
Sub plot can be a little irritating at times
like other X games, it's very short

SUMMARY:
Finally, some relief from the crap know as Megaman X6 and Megaman X7. Megaman X8 is finally something that fans of the series can rejoice about, and leaves us wanting for another in the future.

X8 has many secrets and features that you couldn't find in the previous X games, and the gameplay is a large steup of from the choppy 2D/3D mix in X7. Vile has finally made his long awaited return to the series, and it's always fun to beat up on him like old times. There's two new navigators to help you along your way, and if you plan on playing the game to completion, you'll have to use all of them at one...

THE GOOD:
95% 2D gameplay
Increased difficulty
Characters are balanced
Decent voiceovers
Awesome level designs
Best sidescroller game for the PS2
No more reploids to rescue!

Not anything like Megaman X7 (which was crap)

THE BAD:
Game tends to slow down on certain occasions
The levels with the ride chaser need to improve and can get annoying.
The storyline isn't a masterpiece but understandable.

SUMMARY:
It's been a year since Megaman X7 was released, and I was not looking forward to X8. I had very low expectations for this game as the "X" series seemed to by dying more and more every year. However, Megaman X8 brings back what we all missed in Megaman X1-6: decent gameplay and 2D side-scrolling.

Like all Megaman X games, you start with the introduction level and must defeat 8 bosses who are blocking your path to the evil Sigma. You can choose from 3 characters (X,...

Okay, lets take a little trip down memory lane to the old days of the snes. Those were some cool years. thats when megaman x first amde its debug. People loved it. coming in to the late 90's X gets a face lift to the ps1. With a great megaman X4 success and then the fall with megaman X6. capcom didnt learn anything from its past mistakes and launched megaman X7. Wich pretty much sucked. Then, they went back to the drawing board and made the game good this time. Yes my friends, thats megaman X8. The game starts out with a cutscene that looks hand-drawn but at the same time computerized. Looks starge, good and satisfying. Some of the story line is revealed in that first cutscene. And you will probably notice that it is better than last year's story. Now, lets talk about the gameplay, The controls respond nicely and run smoothly. Except in the 3d vehicle stages wich controll cheaply. The graphics are well excecuted and the character design rocks (as always) Nut the main characters...
