Mega Man X4

Mega Man fans will be right at home with X4. For solid 2-D platform gameplay, it's a definite must-have for any action gamer's library.

Mega Man X4 är det första Mega Man-spelet som är helt anpassat för 32bits-konsolerna och därmed utnyttjar alla deras grafiska specialeffekter. De detaljerade omgivningarna, de parallellt scrollande bakgrunderna och de gigantiska bossarna ser väldigt bra ut, och Capcom bevisar återigen att det fortfarande går att utveckla imponerande 2D-spel.

Mega Man X4 is a good game. I think the levels were well done and this game brings back memories of yesteryear even though I have never really played any of the other Mega Man games. It just has that familiar feel to it. I think the difficulty may turn some people off, though. It is tough to work your way through the levels only to be continually defeated by the boss at the end of each level.

Yes, Mega Man X4 is a solid game, but no, it doesn't really offer anything new to the series. If you can't get enough of Mega Man, by all means pick this up. But if you1ve already played a Mega Man game and didn't care for it too much, don't bother.

Aesthetically, Mega Man X4 is a sizeable improvement over its predecessors, but you must remember that it's only a side scroller. Seventy or 80 similar games are out there that are just as good. If you're looking for something new, look elsewhere. If you're one of those weirdo platformer fans, though, Mega Man X4 is what you crave.
