Mega Man X5

THE BAD:
Too easy,too short.Plot is somewat lacking.Cinematics Inferior too X4.

SUMMARY:
Its about beating the game in 16 tries and geting X's two cool armors,the Falcon and Gaia armor.I like the Falcon armor best,you fly!The Gaia armor is slow but packs a wallop!And with it you can walk on spikes Well the bottomline is Its,fun looks great,a little easy but xtreame mode fixes that.Just buy it if your a megaman fan.If you cant get this game in your local area,try www.amozon.com.It has megamans X1 all the way to the new X7.They even have the increadibly rare and expensive(Its lowest price is 95.00)Megaman X3.

THE BAD:
The level layout is poor. The levels don't offer any tricky obstacles like some of X5's predessesors do. The story hasn't gone anywhere on the MMX titles lately. Sigma is behind everything, and Dynamo has no reason to be in this game. The outcome would be the same even if he wasn't in the game. And there is no reason for the tutorial stage. And it points out the obvious.

SUMMARY:
I'm a MegaManX fan, and I was so excited when I first got this game. After about 20 minutes, I was dissapointed when I played this installment to the series. It was SO PREDICTABLE. I think Capcom should take a break from the X series for a little while, or they should make the story go somewhere. I hope a twist happens in X7.

THE BAD:
Simply, I could see no bad in this game. Forgive my lack of detail, but there is nothing to go against. This is a classic addition to the series and should be treated as such.

SUMMARY:
This game embodies the words, "Classic," and "Perfection." It is just yet another of the higher drama games the fans have been waiting for. I believe that this installment pushed it's image into the hearts of many fans and newcomers to the series. In this game, you find yourself hooked for more, and If not, than you might remember that game as one that struck something in you.

THE BAD:
Just like all of the Megaman X games, this is hard. Insanely hard, as someone put it. That description goes especially to Squid Adler and his level.

SUMMARY:
First of all, I haven't cleared this game yet, but I've already formed some kind of an opinion.

I've quit active playing a long time ago, but I'm always up for playing a Megaman when I get the chance. Megaman kicks ass, simply... but there are some qualities to the X games that I dislike...

First of all, the difficulty is sometimes just damn rediculous. It's said about Rockman & Forte somewhere that the designers throw everything and the kitchen sink at you. I think that phrase fits this title very well, too.

The optional armor thing is a cool thing. I do like Zero, but not so much as a playable character. I just feel that his controls are always somewhat cramped.

Some of the levels are just ridiculously hard. I'll put Grizzly Slash's level somewhere near the border, not quite crossing it. Although, I might like to meet the maniac who designed Squid Adler and his level. I'm stubborn what comes to Megaman - I must clear them, and that's how I came to beating Squid Adler and his level. I also have to say that I don't miss Quick Man or his laser-filled stage.

I think the Mavericks are rather generic here, excluding Squid Adler. They're rather easy to beat, I have to say that much. That's fine by me, actually. The levels are difficult enough.

The best part as usual is the looks and the sounds. I've always loved Megaman music... but how hard would it have been to compose a new music track for Duff McWhalen's level? Don't get me wrong. I'm all for that tune. It does sound better than the one in Megaman X2 Bubble Crab's stage.

And Guns N'Roses...? C'mon!

THE BAD:
Hard as hell. Zero is 1,000,000 times better than X. Couldn't beat it without a gameshark.

SUMMARY:
Well its an ok game. like i said great grafix and gameplay, oh and sigma aint dead. not completely. i don't think he dies in x6 either but i don't remember. x6 was definitely easier than x5, oh btw if anyone can help me find an iso for x4 i'd appreciate it. hopefully i'm not out of bounds when i ask that. my icq is listed.

THE BAD:
makes you reaaaaaly ticked.

SUMMARY:
I traded Wild 9 (another playstation game) for this so i'm fairly impressed with the gameplay. it was fun so cool enough. Zero would whip X anyday though... even if they did give x kick a$$ armour and Zero nothing... damn swedish *groumble*...

THE BAD:
No anime scenes
Z-buster sucks

SUMMARY:
Rockman X5... good, but not as good as X4. The manual hardly helps, as the game gives all the Mavericks and techniques different names, along with giving the Fourth Armor the name, Force Armor.

The best part about Rockman X5 is that you no longer have to create seperate files to play as X and Zero, like in X4. In between missions, you can choose whether you want to play as X, any armor X, or Zero.

More armors this time around. The Falcon Armor, which lets you fly, the Gaia Armor which is strong, seeing how it lets you walk on spikes. Fourth Armor makes a reappearance from X4, with a Plasma buster. Ultimate Armor returns and is still kickass. Black Zero also returns.

The Z-buster returns! But however, it kinda sucks, seeing how Zero stops all movement just to fire it.

In storyline, X5 progresses in it quicker and more fluently than X4 had, seeing how at the Hunter's Base, there was a commander, doctor, etc.

If you played Rockman X4, liked it, I suggest you go out to play this game.

THE BAD:
Graphics... The user cannot manually adjust the graphic rendering, resolution, and refresh rate. Heck, even the game doesn't adjust the graphics...they just come standard.

SUMMARY:
Great game for children! Fun as another other 2D side-scroller! Oh yea... Buy @ www.capcom.com for $19.99! It's worth the money!

Also, the game (full version) is available for download...if you know what an ISO is...but let's leave that for later::much later! =) EnJoY ... eNjOy
