RockMan & Forte

"Rockman Rocks!"

Rockman and Forte is well... AMAZING! 32-bits for graphics and spectacular sound. This game easily surpasses almost every other Megaman game in every department. Read on about this amazing game.

Graphics- Like I said, this game has AMAZING graphics. No preveous Megaman game could compete. The only bad part is something you probably see about 50% of the game... Megaman. He constantly looks like he about to fall asleep! Even when shoot the charged Mega Buster... he still has that dazed look. Everything else looks like it belongs on a 32-bit system. 9/10

Animations- The animations in this game are very smooth. You’re able to tell what the characters are doing, which is perfect. 10/10

Music/Sound FX- The music in this game is EXCELLENT! All of the tunes are more than monotone beeps! The music is catchy, and you’ll be whistling the tunes throughout this whole game. The sound FX are also good. It seems like
some of them were recycled from older Megaman games though. The music composers really did a great job for this game. 10/10

Challenge- This game is difficult. A lot of the stages have numerous hard parts and most of the bosses are unbelieivably hard. This whole game has to be recycled hard-ness from some of the earlier Megaman games. This game is
even harder when you use Megaman. He can’t do the double-jump, which makes the game easier for Forte. 10/10

Controls- The controls in this game are O.K. Everything is perfect... almost. Sometimes when you want to shoot or charge up and hit an enemy across a cliff, you accidently hit the slide or dash button and you’ll fall off. 8/10

Gameplay- This game has excellent gameplay. You can be either Megaman or Forte, and they each have their own special moves. This choice will either make the game harder or easier. 9/10

Replay Value- This is kind of associated with challenge. You’ll want to comeback and back again just to beat this game! You’ll still be coming back even after you beat this game to collect all of the CDs. 10/10

Being Like Other Megaman Games- This is where the game flops miserably. It does not include the full element of something that makes Megaman different from Mario. The stage select. In the other previous Megaman games, you have
the choice of going to the places in any order you want. In this game, it limits your options. You have to beat a stage to unlock more. 6/10

The Bottom Line- This is a great Megaman game. Period. It is easily better than all other preveous Megaman games. 9/10
