MEGA MAN 9 REVIEW

Well if its not obvious by now, i LUV classic games. one of them being one of the most generically named game hero of the 80s, MEGA MAN. now there is always going to be a place in my dried up shrivle of a heart for MEGA MAN, and that's mainly due to it fantastical music (that's a real word). seriusely the music is amazing. and semi-alt. techno bands are still making remakes of every level from the game. (see the advantage, powerglove,entertainment system, dr. wiley and the robot masters). so with that said, its REVIEW TIME!!!!!! THIS WEEK ITS.....

and i do apologize for the horrendous box art, but its still a hell of a lot better than the first one.

so what can be said about MEGA MAN 9? well it has the same great art style as the first 8 (not counting 6,7,8) and its all in glorious 8-bit. and best of all you can now hear the wonderful music in surrond sound (yaaaaaaay!!). if i had one complaint it would be the story. it just flat out fails or f.o.f. but its totally excused because i cannot recall a MEGA MAN game with a completely mindblowing story. now in the past my favorite MEGA MAN game was 3, but 9 swiftly takes that place by having great bosses and fun stages. a new adition is getting power ups in between levels, its not much but like a fresh water drenched puppies, it feels refreshing (i am very tired).

one other thing is, it is one of the hardest games iv ever played. contra 4, ikaruga, battletoads......pussies! all of them compared to MEGA MAN 9. its so hard, paris hilton would sleep with it. so if you can beat it, find me and i will give you cake*. if you complete one of the achievements and beat it without getting hit, find me and i will burn you alive because you are most obviously a witch. iv been playing it since this morning and iv only beaten 3 levels. so sho if you think contra is hard? play MEGA MAN 9. and be prepared to cry yourself to sleep.

so all in all, its nice to see a game go back to its 8-bit roots and MEGA MAN 9 earns a spot on my favorite xbla games (next to castle crashers and braid) definitely check it out, or at least play the demo.

so i give it 9 robot masters out of 10

and thy judgment is: if your an old school gamer who's not afraid of a challenge, a must buy. if your a modern day pansie who needs tutorials and regenerating health, go back under the table and leave this one to the pros.

so till next time readers.

oh! i also forgot i found a great way to get bolts (currency). beat diamond man, get his power (a force shield) go to plug mans stage and stand under the enemy spawn point. it took me 3o minutes to get 500 bolts but you can use those bolts to buy much needed extra lives.

tata for now.

*the cake is a lie!
