RockMan & Forte

"A Fantastic game!"

I really like this game. It is an excellent game, and my rating should be 8.5, though. It is much better than Megaman X and X2. Not as good as X3, though. The only problem is that the game is in Japanese, so you don't know what the people are talking about. And you never know about the story.

Difficulty: The Difficulty is normal, not too easy and not too hard :) It can get difficult at times. You might have difficulty with the bosses. But remember that there are weaknesses for bosses. The game is not too hard though, so you don't have to worry about the difficulty.

Controls: The Controls are normal. There's jumps, dashes, Buster charging and all. You will have no difficulty with the controls, unless you've never played a Megaman 2D game before in your life.

Story: I don't know about the story. I've about ended the game and I still don't know about the story. The game is in JAPANESE ONLY. So this is an alert, so you don't get surprised when you play the game.

Graphics: The Graphics are much better than the games like Megaman 1-8. They are excellent!

Sound: The Sounds are pretty good. This makes about 1/4 of the game good. I love the background musics! Sometimes the music is so good that you want to play the stage on and on. It encourages you, but I have to get myself out of it.

Replay ability: I don't think so. The game is pretty awesome, but I never wanted to play it again. You are always more into other games once you ended one.

Buy or Rent: I say you rent the game first. Some of you might not find the game much interesting, just Rent it. And if you like the game so much that you want to buy it after renting, which i doubt, then go ahead.

In this game, you can play as either Rockman (Megaman) or Forte (Bass). I encouraged myself to play as Rock once, but I couldn't. Rock is just too weak to play in this game. He is lazy, and even his sight is lazy. And Forte is quick, his buster throws out multiple shots at once. Rock's buster only lets out one shot, but it can charge.

You can even buy stuff from this game! Auto has this shop in which you buy stuff. Rock and Forte get different stuff. Rush and Boost can help Rock and Forte with stuff. You can get this money-like objects that are used for money, and you have to collect disks. There are some disks that you can only get with Rock or Forte. How? Well, Rock can dash low and Forte can jump higher.

This game is not the best, but you would not hate this game. It gets a little boring once you are playing it for a long while. It is getting boring for me, but I am rating my past rating for this game. Right now my rating is 7. Just don't buy the game, that is my only request. That is because the game isn't so interesting, but it is good. You might be sorry you ever bought this game, even if it is so cheep.
