Ugh. More Mega Man?!?!?! Yup! I've already written pretty extensively about this one, so I'll keep it short. This is my favorite Mega Man game, and it's the best Mega Man game. I've beaten it before, but it was so convenient on my Pi that I had to play it again, especially since I was planning on playing X2 and X3 for the first time (you have to play the first one first!). The music, controls, and graphics are all perfect, the level design is excellent, and the bosses are fun and varied. Most importantly, for the first time since Mega Man 3, we got REAL updates to Mega Man. Introducing the dash, wall jump, and a variety of secret upgrades to X give this game a depth that the originals can't match. It's a perfect example of how to do a really good sequel or reboot. It has plenty of hat tips to the original series, while also innovating in an interesting way that increases the amount of fun to be had in the game. If you've never played this one, go do it. I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10, deducting slight points for how absolutely annoying some of the huge slowdowns can be when there are a lot of bullets on screen, and for the fact that some of the weapons are pretty useless unless you're using them against the intended boss. Other than that, it's fantastic!
