Nothing was done to improve upon the game, and those that want 3D adventure will find much better courts in "Banjo-Tooie" and other games.

Make weapons out of trash! (Disclaimer: probably not advisable as a real-life hobby.)

With a lot of exploring and mostly the same old shooting technique as before, Mega Man qualifies as a run-of-the-mill action RPG. Fans of the man will enjoy it.

Those who missed out on the PlayStation version could still find a good bit of entertainment value here, but this dated title simply can't compete on the same level as current software.

A decent game that could have been great if it had been released three years ago.

There is nothing new in this game that wasn't in its PlayStation predecessor. But it does feature all of the same flaws, right down to a disjointed camera system, insulting control scheme, naked graphics and poorly mixed elements from the action and RPG genres.

I. Love. This game. I just do.

Caleb gave it a10:
A great game, worthy of recognition. There are several hours of gameplay in this thing and endless things to do. Even after you've beat the game, it's still fun just to run around and do stuff.

Linx T. gave it a 10:
Awsome game which combines both action and adventure beautifully. Hunting the weapon parts and artifacts will keep you busy for hours on end!!!

[Anonymous] gave it a 1:
Maybe this is just the fact that I suck at it talking, but it has bad controls! The graphics are so bad, I might as well be blind!

[Anonymous] gave it a 10:

Huahuahua gave it a 10:
This game is the best. I just got it, it's awsome! I am at the first sub-gate already. Its the best, but the weapons could be better.

[Anonymous] gave it a 10:
GREATEST GAME EVER. I mean this blows all the other megaman games away (even though the other games are really really cool) they should re=make this for the nintendo GameCube but....the weapons could be a little better and there should be more to choose from but hey its a great game.
