Overall, even though the series' format is clearly seeing far too many repetitions of itself, this game still is a bit of a jump over Mega Man 4 in terms of general quality. Music and graphics have seen somewhat of an upgrade, although that's pretty much where the line can be drawn. If you've been a fan of the first four games, Mega Man 5 will not disappoint you.

This game isn’t particularly long at sixteen levels, and there are password saves until you get to the point where you’re going after Protoman, but the game is still fun and is well worth replaying. I would, however, caution anybody considering buying this game that it is rare and thus would be slightly expensive. I would recommend buying Mega Man Anniversary Collection for GCN or PS2 and playing the entire series if this game sounds interesting to you.

Måske var det på tide at ændre lidt på udfomingen, så der var et par reele nyskabelser i spillene.

Either I got extremely good at playing Mega Man games after ten hours, or Mega Man 5 is distinctly shorter and easier than Mega Man 4. Um...yeah. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing? I leave the choice up to you, because quite honestly, I forget.

It's a tossup between this and Rockman 4 as the best of the early Rockman games. PlayStation Satoshi Kunsai (1852)
Fun game, still the same old gameplay though. NES David Bryan (25)
No game design evolution, but solid title NES Jonathan Hollas (25)
