Mega Man Evolves
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
Up until this games release, Mega Man had been pretty much the same game with slightly different bosses each time. This wasn't a bad thing, but after a while it just felt like you were running up the same hill over and over.
Mega Man X followed roughly the same pattern, but it finally added something new to spice up the mix. Real, Honest to goodness upgrades, that weren't a bosses weapon. Sure you still got whatever weapon the boss you just defeated used, but upon closer inspection and probably a little back tracking, you found upgrades to X himself.
That's right, in Mega Man X he is Called X, and he can upgrade his buster(gun), his boots, his helmet, and his armor. The gun upgrade gives a new level of weapon charge, the boots give a dash move, the helmet lets him break certain walls/ceilings, and his armor lowers damage received.
It seems like a simple addition, but with improved graphics and play mechanics, this was a fresh new take on the Mega Man franchise.
It can now be found in the Mega Man X Collection, available on current generation consoles, but nothing quite feels the same as playing it with a good ol' SNES controller. It is my favorite Mega Man besides Mega Man 2, and would be a great addition to anyones game library.
