![]() ![]() This brings us to the second half of the collection. It's a fun and well-made platformer that manages to avoid the pitfalls of the later games in the collection. If it's the weakest game in the first X Legacy collection, then that's a small complaint. The level design suffers compared to the SNES days, and the graphics have aged more poorly than the SNES's crisp and clean sprites. The core gameplay is really fun and introduces a fully playable Zero, with his own distinct move set and story. It has a lot of strengths but also a lot of weaknesses, so I'm a bit torn about it. Its coolest feature is the ability to temporarily play as X's partner Zero, a sword-wielding powerhouse who will become a much bigger part of the series.X4, the last game in the first half of the collection, was the first PS1 Mega Man title. It has some of the least satisfying upgrades and generally feels like it's spinning its wheels a bit. It's still a solid game, but it starts to get a bit bloated. It lags a little behind the first due to some annoying design decisions, including some upgrades that are pretty tedious to collect, but it's still among the top Mega Man games and perhaps the second-best game in the entire collection.X3, which is the Super Nintendo version and not any of the later re-releases, is probably the weakest of the SNES Mega Man X titles. It still has excellent level design and bosses, and it doesn't rock the boat, but that isn't a bad thing. ![]() What few flaws it has are nitpicks, and frankly, the collection is probably worth it on its own just for this title.In many regards, X2 is a safe sequel. It is absolutely a fantastic game by any metric. The level design is phenomenal, the gameplay is excellent, the enemies are colorful and memorable, and the difficulty and pacing are near-flawless. Mega Man X is close to being a perfect platformer. It's almost worth the full cost for Mega Man X alone. If you had to purchase just one of the half-collections, you should absolutely get the first half. Almost every game in the collection is an excellent title, and even the low points are perfectly fun games. The result is a character who retains all of the classic Mega Man style and adds a bundle of new abilities to the mix.The first of the two bundles in the complete Mega Man X Collection, which contains Mega Man X1 to Mega Man X4 and is one of the best game bundles in existence. Every game has multiple armor pieces (sometimes multiple armors) that give X new abilities and alter his visual appearance. New to the series is the ability to cling to walls, dash along the ground, and unlock new armor. Mega Man himself, known as X in this series, retains all of his trademark abilities, such as absorbing enemy powers and charging up his buster cannon. What isn't different is that, at least early on, it has some of the best gameplay the franchise has ever seen.All the Mega Man X games are evolutions of the traditional Mega Man gameplay. ![]() The dark plot gives it a distinct feel that sets it apart from its predecessor. As the plot progresses, it gets darker and more melodramatic, and most cast members die at least once. Mavericks are robots who are out of control and threaten humanity at the behest of their leader, the rogue hunter Sigma. A far-future society where the cast of the original game is long dead and forgotten, X follows the adventures of the titular Mega Man X, who works as a 'Maverick Hunter' alongside his friend, Zero. After the cheerful NES era, the title took Mega Man to a much darker place. BuyMega Man X was an odd outing for the Mega Man franchise. ![]()
