sci-fi

I am a big fan of Mega Man! I have loved Mega Man games ever since they were released on NES and Game Boy, but this game re-defines Mega Man. I never thought that Mega Man would make it in a 3D game, but this one is a lot better than I expected! You can choose different weapons like splash mines, machine guns, canons, vacuum and more! You can also use Mega Man's sister Roll to combine items you find to make special gadgets, such as rocket skates, spring shoes and a protective helmet! You can combine different buster parts that you find to enhance your buster gun too. There is also a pretty good story line to the game too. Unfortunately, the game doesn't quite follow the old Mega Man story, there isn't a Doctor Light or Doctor Wily in this game. If you like action/adventures or Mega Man then this is the game for you!

Don't let the game title fool you. Sure, that boy in the blue armor looks like Mega Man, but he's not. And the girl in the game looks like Roll, but she's not. Capcom just made this look like a Mega Man game by using costumes and characters from that series so they could rack in sales. Gameplay is extremely akward, with its reliance on camera rotation. If you can get into it, it's an interesting (but short) adventure. Also, Roll Casket and Tron Bonne are pretty hot (I really mean it), so that's kind of a saving grace. But, if you're looking for a full-3D Mega Man game, you'll have to keep hoping...

In recent years, Capcom attempted to bring their classic Mega Man franchise into the new millennium. They gave the series a complete makeover, in a number of ways, and thus, the Legends series was born. How does this, the first game in the Legends series, measure up? Read on and see.

PROS:
-IT'S A FULL 3D GAME. Many fans of the Mega Man series had long been awaiting such a game, and at long last they have one. Well, sort of.
-THERE ARE TONS OF WEAPONS AND ITEMS FOR YOU TO FIND AND USE. The island where the game takes place is filled with ruins which it will take a good deal of time to explore in their entirety.
-THE STORYLINE IS BETTER THAN SOME PEOPLE MAKE IT OUT TO BE. This is NOT really a Mega Man game, but the storyline the game has is an interesting one nonetheless.

CONS:
-THE BIGGEST CON IS THE MOST OBVIOUS ONE - IT ISN'T REALLY A MEGA MAN GAME! Capcom just used a Mega Man look for many of the characters so that they could sell more games. For shame, Capcom.
-THE GRAPHICS ARE HORRIBLE, EVEN FOR A FULL 3D PLAYSTATION ONE GAME. The characters look like they were made out of paper, and I don't mean that in a good way. The 2D Mega Man games on the Playstation had graphics way better than these.
-THE CONTROLS SUCK. If you want to turn, you have to rotate the camera. This becomes extremely annoying in no time at all. There are also several other control faults.
-THE GAME LEAVES TOO MANY QUESTIONS UNANSWERED. If the series really IS somehow connected to the other Mega Man game series, the game fails to tell you how. Likewise, your character's origin is never explained.

OVERALL:
Overall this is a good game, but it wasn't really what I was hoping for. That's not to say you won't have any fun with it - I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. If you find this game in the budget bin, pick it up. It may surprise you.
