4.0 out of 5 stars
Since I'm the only one capable of writing an actual review..,

This review is from: MegaMan Legends (CD-ROM)
People have said this isn't a Mega Man game because the main character isn't the same guy as in the original series and the plot is different. But by that definition there hasn't been a Mega Man game in three years, and there hasn't been one released in the US in five years. And the game does have a lot in common with the original series, as I'll explain. Also, this game was released four years ago, on the original PlayStation, so those of you complaining about the graphics seem to have missed the point. Especially those of you who think the graphics alone take it down to 2 stars (hello, this is Casual Gamers R Us, how may we help you?).Anyway, this is sort of a spinoff of the Mega Man series, like X or Battle Network. At some point in what is apparently the past of the normal MM series, people live on small islands using machines powered by refractor crystals, which are found by people called Diggers in underground ruins. It's a dangerous job, though, because the ruins are inhabited by dangerous "Reaverbots" who attack any intruders. MegaMan Volnut, one of these Diggers, crash-lands on Kattelox Island, where he searches for parts for his friend Roll to use to rebuild his airship... and then pirates attack, and then weird stuff starts happening whenever MegaMan goes into the ruins... and ultimately MegaMan has to save the people on the island from being wiped out. Now for the details. MegaMan, like every other character by that name, has a Mega Buster, but it actually works more like Bass's Forte Buster in that it's aimable and it rapidfires. The ruins play more or less like 3D versions of Mega Man stages, but there's not necessarily a boss in every level (though there are plenty of bosses). The controls are excellent and can be reconfigured if you don't like them (you might want to switch the sidestep and turning keys). There's also an "overworld" where you don't have much fighting to do (like in most RPGs). It's not really an RPG where you gain levels and stuff, but it's similar (think Zelda here). The good news: It's fun. The game is long without being repetitive, every level introduces something new, the bosses aren't really a chore, and the cutscenes are wonderful. Also, while you don't get weapons from bosses in this game (with the exception of the Machine Buster, which is made of parts from an early boss--check trash cans downtown after you save City Hall), you do get lots of special weapons, which all have their own advantages and disadvantages (except the Powered Buster, which has no advantages, and the Active Buster, which has no disadvantages). And the special items you can get add another layer to the gameplay (what buster parts should I equip?). The bad: The plot isn't the most brilliant, and half the time you have no idea what you're supposed to be doing. It's also not "really" a Mega Man game, so if you want something that plays exactly like every other MM game you're out of luck. Also, the ending is honestly pathetic. The one really bad thing is that the parts you need for half the decent weapons in the game are so well hidden, you have to know where they are already in order to find them (try <mmhp>). The ugly: Tiesel Bonne. Can we say "PLASTIC SURGERY"? Seriously, somebody must have fallen from the TOP branch of the ugly tree. While proving that the ugly tree is a redwood. Overall: If you want a fun game to play, get this game. If you want a Mega Man game and all that implies, don't get this game. If you judge games based solely on their graphics and how well they match their titles, don't write a review of this or any other game.

Mega-the-Legend,
By Angel (Animerica) - See all my reviews
This review is from: MegaMan Legends (CD-ROM)
This game is not that bad...actually...it was quite fun. If you're a MM fan you'll love this...The story line has it's simplicity and complexity. It's has areas in the game where you can make choices that determine some of the outcomes...but don't get me wrong this is not an RPG. It's sorta half of that, the other half being action/adventure. There are a few movie scenes which were kinda cute. Hehehehe...you can do a few things in the game...like jump on roof tops...ride on the back of trucks...providing you get some of the hidden treasures hidden deep within the bowls of a 'dig site.' But I don't wanna spoil the game for yah...but the storyline thickens the more you play...oh ho...so it won't be that simple. Granted the storyline isn't that dark...like in the Megaman X games...for those of you who know it...but it is rather interesting. You meet some unusual, annoying, or frustrating bosses...but that's all part of the game! If you every get loss on what to do...count on the monkey with the invisible drum...heh...bet I lost you on that one...if you wanna know...play the game...and see! ^_^ Ja Ne!
