Great Side-Scrolling Action,

This review is from: Mega Man 8 (Video Game)
The Playstation, and almost all post 16-bit consoles for that matter, have been seriously lacking in the side-scrolling game genre. Mega Man 8, however, brings us back to that strange technological world that started on the old NES.Mega Man has to stop the nefarious Dr. Wily for taking over the world. Wily has, naturally, created eight new robots for Mega Man to battle with. They are Tengu Man, Grenade Man, Clown Man, Frost Man, Sword Man, Astro Man, Search Man, and Aqua Man. The game mechanics are true to its predecessors, with few new additions. Mega Man can actually swim now, a la Mario. It also borrows the "money" concept from the Game Boy titles, allowing you to buy upgrades for the Blue Bomber. It is also divisioned into two parts, like the Game Boy titles. You fight the first four bosses, then the next four (identical to Mega Man 7). The graphics are wonderfully cartoonish and animate fluidly. The bosses also demonstrate a lot of character and are generally fun to fight. The music is good, but no tracks really stick out in my mind. I'd say that I only have two qualms about Mega Man 8. The anime sequences are well done, but the voice overs could have used work. There is a lot of yelling that gets irritating. Also, I think the final battle could have been a lot more exciting. But, all in all, it's a very good game to add to your Playstation collection.

MegaMan 8... oh man....,
By James Jeans (Galesburg, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mega Man 8 (Video Game)
Oh boy... I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this game. I was lucky, see. I went to a second-hand store and sold a few games and managed to pick `MegaMan 8' up ... . A true bargain considering the game was in PERFECT condition. My review is mixed, however. I'm an old-school MegaMan fan. I love most of the NES games (some are better than the others) and I love all of the SNES games. MegaMan 7 and then Megaman X1-X3. My problem with MegaMan 8 is that it feels too much like a cartoon. I like the anime cut scenes, but the acting is horrid! I wish they would have gotten the actors from the MegaMan cartoon. That would have been a major step up. I didn't like MegaMan's voice at all. He sounds like a little girl. The guy who played Bass should have played the Blue Bomber. Some of the bosses in the game were ridiculous, and some of the stages were harder than the entire game of Megaman X5. The upside is that it is classic MegaMan fun. I liked the fact that the `Boss Anthem' was back from MegaMan II (when you click on a boss, the small piece of music that plays) and the music after you destroy a boss was back. Overall, MegaMan 8 is a decent game. It doesn't deserve the title `Anniversary Edition', but it was well worth the [money I paid].

Mega Man Fan,
By Corey VanderSleen (Arlington, Tx United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mega Man 8 (Video Game)
Mega Man 8 is one of the best games I have played. I may be biased because I like all "Mega man" games but this is one of the best. I think it is great for everyone because I play a lot of games and this is the best I have seen in a while. For all those other Mega Man lovers out there I also recommend Mega Man X4
