bit-tech Shopping: Capcom Mega Man X Collection (GC)

Rating: 8

Time with product: 1 Month

Strengths: 7 games on 1 disc

Weaknesses: Does not include Megaman X 7 or 8

Summary: Mega Man X Collection includes Mega Man X 1-6 and Mega Man: Battle & Chase (a racing game never released in the US). These are some of the best Mega Man games in the series, so this is definitely a great buy for any Mega Man fan. The supplemental material on the disc isn't that interesting, but its nice to have nonetheless. Unfortunately, Capcom did not include Mega Man X 7 or 8, so it doesn't quite feel like this anthology is complete. Still, this is a great game to have alongside the previously released Mega Man Anniversary Collection. If only Capcom would release the Mega Man Collection for Gameboy...

Strengths: Some of the best Mega Man games, on one disk!

Weaknesses: Some of the worst Mega Man games, on one disk!

Summary: Mega Man X Collection is a pretty good compilation of Mega Man X games. While some of the six games are stellar, others miss the mark with uneven difficulty and frustrating boss battles. Still, the control scheme is a marked improvement over Mega Man Anniversary Collection, and the good games are definitely worthwhile to fans of these classics. Overall, this collection is a nice value.

Strengths: lots of games to play, classic gameplay, it's mega man!

Weaknesses: difficult games

Summary: Mega Man is back with the X Collection series. These are the X games that we all loved back in the 90s. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the X series but this game is a good package for anyone not familiar and wants to play these games for cheap. Also, Capcom got the A and B button configurations fixed this game unlike the other Mega Man Collection set. This is a good game for anyone into Mega Man or is new to the series and wants to play the old classics.

Strengths: Classic gameplay from the Mega Man X series.

Weaknesses: No extras besides the games.

Summary: If you enjoyed any of the Mega Man games of the past, you'll love this compilation of the Mega Man X games...all for one (low) price. While the games in the Mega Man X series varied in quality, it's hard to pass up such an affordable collection of games.

Time with product: 4

Strengths: classic like all other mega man games

Weaknesses: too short

Summary: If you are a fan of the classic megaman for the NES, then you will like this game. It is just as entertaining; however, I found the game play to be a bit too short for my liking.
