Weakest title in the NES Mega Man line up

The Good
Mega Man 6 kept all the qualities from the previous games while adding...

-Multiple paths through stages -Body attachments

The multiple paths through stages gave you reason to redo stages as special items would be placed in numerous areas (such as the letters to obtain BEAT).

The body attachments were a feature I liked a lot! They did not use up energy like weapons did. Their energy would return on its own. The rocket pack, for example, you could hover and fly through the entire stage! The attachments to Mega Man giving him new ways to move (without using up energy like a weapon) were a sweet addition.

The Bad
Capcom is running out of creativity. Um, Plant Man? Come on! The weapons were similar to those of previous Mega Man games. And the stages seemed to lack... polish.

What happened to the sound? The game's music doesn't sound right, as if Mega Man 6 was developed by someone outside of Capcom. The game control is a bit funny.

The Bottom Line
This is the weakest of the Mega Man NES titles (with the exception of the first Mega Man). With the SNES out and the NES on decline, this title was probably released sooner than it should, revealing unpolished levels and music. However, the game does introduce new gameplay with the body enhancements and the multiple level paths. If you want more Mega Man, Mega Man 6 will satisfy you.

Not a bad game, but not a great game either.

The Good
I liked the fact that the robot masters in this game were created by contest winners who designed the robots for this game. I also liked the storyline not bad, the robot masters were somewhat challenging, and the presentation of the game wasn't bad.

The Bad
The fact that some of the weapons you received were useless. also some of the music just wasn't up to the standards, of what we saw in previous titles in the series. I feel that in this installment, it lacked the magic that the other mega man's had to offer.

The Bottom Line
I would describe this game as a rent title, meaning do not buy this title. Unless of course you're a die hard mega man fan, like me. But otherwise stay away from this game, it has nothing new to offer to the series.
