Product Description

Released less than a year after Mega Man 4, Mega Man 5 continues the series' tradition of solid gameplay, pitting the eponymous character against his brother Proto Man and his band of eight robot masters: Gravity Man, Stone Man, Charge Man, Crystal Man, Napalm Man, Gyro Man and Star Man. Rush and Fliptop are on hand to help the blue bomber in his quest, as is a new bird-like robot called Beat, who can be obtained by collecting the letters to spell "Mega Man V." The graphics and soundtrack live up to what players have come to expect from the series -- they're some of the best the NES has to offer. ~ Skyler Miller, All Game Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars It may not be the "Best" but it's my fave!, December 25, 2008

This game was great! It hearkens back to a simpler time back when men were mega and Doctors were Light or Wily... It was the first Megaman game I ever played back when I was five and I was immediately hooked. I hadn't played MM5 in many many years and after looking at other reviews I saw that a big complaint with this entry into the Megaman cannon was that when hit, Megaman would loose his charge shot. I didn't mind this at all. In fact, I felt that while that feature slightly added to this game's difficulty (and therefore enjoyability for me), the overabundance of energy pellets hurt the games overall difficulty greatly and I found it a little too easy to finish, thus rendering it a quick play (maybe taking me an hour or two to beat on average). The music was great even though it's probably not quite as memorable to other die-hard Megaman fans, but once again I would say this game is overall very enjoyable and great fun! I highly recommend it.

This game is the best Mega Man game on the original Nes. If you have an Nes you must get this game. The reason I say this is because Protoman kidnaps Dr. Light and Mega Man has to stop him. Find out why would Mega Man's brother would kidnap, remeber in Mega Man 4 he was a good guy. I won't give away the entire story but this game has alot to keep you interested. Check it out.

The reviewer below me thinks Mega Man 5 is easy, but I think the game is REALLY hard. Of course, I haven't played the game in a good 10 years, and I'm sure I'd be a LOT better at it if you gave me another chance.

I just can't stop thinking about how much I used to die over and over the last time I played it. I was always much better at the X series. Still, no one can deny that Mega Man 5 is probably the lost favorite. It's just a shame the game is going for so much money today. If you want it, you better buy it on that Mega Man collection for the Playstation 2.
