 Rating:  - Mega Man Strengthens His StrangleholdMy first foray into the MM series was with MM 2, the flagship installment of this series. That sent me on a hunt to find MM 1, which did not hold a candle to it's successor. A friend of mine then beat me to the punch (18 years ago) and bought MM3. I was already a huge MM fan after only having played MM2 but MM3 only strengthened my allegiance. MM3 follows the same basic premise as the previous two installments: beat a robot master and gain his powers to defat the next. The main antagonist ... Read More Rating:  - One of Mega Man's all time great games on any system, probably even better than Mega Man IIMEGA MAN II is generally considered the breakout game for our titular blue bomber, and for good reason: it fixed all the problems found in the first Mega Man, and was one of the best games for the NES. Truthfully, it's the only Mega Man game I had for the NES in the late 1980s and early 1990s, though I played the first game quite a bit as well. As good as MMII is, is it really the best Mega Man game ever, let alone in the classic series? If it weren't for MEGA MAN III, I would unequivocally ...

There were the following Men: Magnet, Hard, Top, Shadow, Spark, Snake, Gemini and Needle. Difficulties are as follows: Magnet Man - 7 Hard Man - 5 Top Man - 6 Shadow Man - 8 Spark Man - 5 Snake Man - 7 Gemini Man - 8 Needle Man - 5.5 Graphics - 3.5/5 Sound/Music - 4/5 Controls - 6/5 Game Play - 4/5 Read More Rating:  - Not that easyI had fond memories of Mega Man 2 from my youth, and just recently I played Mega Man 3 for the first time. Having read several other reviews that describe this game as relatively easy, I can't help but voice my extreme disagreement. Here are several of the many annoying things about this game that made me turn it off many times in frustration: - So what if you can have up to 9 energy tanks instead of Mega Man 2's maximum of 4, when you can go through several levels without a single tank in sight? ... Read More Rating: - Music!!!This is a review of the MUSIC on this game! How many people would consider music on an old 8 bit video game as "art"? Yet listen to the opening titles and tell me if that isn;t the perfect example of working within limitations to produce excellent music! The 8 bit NES was capable of producing only very limited sounds. Yet consider the beauty of the Proto Man theme, especially in the end sequence, with its reference to Mingus' "Goodbye Porkpie Hat"; or the thrilling sound of "Magnet ... Read More |
