Mega Man X3

"Another great Mega Man game!"

General Information:Mega Man X3 was made by Capcom around 1995,the previous Mega Man X games,1 and 2,are both on the Super Nintendo,as well as this one.This Mega Man X game,in my opinion,is the best Mega Man game made so far,without a doubt,and also makes a great addition to someone's Super Nintendo game collection.

Story-8-The story seems much more improved in comparison to the previous Mega Man games.It all starts out with a scientist,Dr. Doppler created a vaccine to prevent any abnormalities occurring within any of the robots....but then the robots start to riot,and the Maverick hunters discover that Dr.Doppler is behind all of this,your mission is to stop Dr.Doppler,and his newly formed army of Mavericks from taking over the world.

Control-10-The control has been flawless as ever!It is still the same exact way it was for Mega Man X1 and 2.All the controls are extremely to execute.And if you do not like the way the controls are set,you can change them in the configuration option.

Sound Effects-9-All the sounds are terrific.The explosions sounds are as good as they have been,and improved a little bit as well,all the guns and cannons blasting all sound great,and very realistic.

Music-6-How could they have messed up so horribly on this one!?About 75% of the music in this game is all constant rock crap,a lot of it gets annoying extremely fast.Some of the music is pretty good though,but the music in Mega Man X1 and 2 were a lot better,so they should not have had any problems with this game either.

Game play-10 The game play totally makes up for the extremely bad music though,you finally get a chance to play as Zero,and as you can see,he is extremely powerful,and fun to use,even though you are very limited to use him.There are also a bunch of new upgrades,and carrier armors to use.You still collect hearts to increase you maximum life too.There is lots more secrets and cool things to find in this installment,I won't spoil it here,find out yourself!

Challenge-medium/high-This has been the most challenging Mega Man X game so far.You fight some of the more challenging bosses early on,and rely on good skills,and lots of helpful items already on hand in order for you to defeat them.

Buy or rent-This game is extremely rare,you will NOT find this available ANYWHERE for rental (Unless you are very lucky),so good luck if you manage to buy it somewhere,chances are,you will have to pay a considerable sum of money to purchase a copy.Or,if you have a good computer,go ahead and download the ROM on an emulator.
