I've played Mega Man games sence Mega Man 1 on the 8-bit NES. And they all had 1 thing in common, they where all action side scrollers. Now Mega Man has for the first time ever stepped into the 3D world. Now I liked the old side scrollers of Mega Man 8 & Mega Man X4. And I have to say that this one is no different, I think it's one of the best. The 3D game play allows Mega Man to run around enemies, you can blast eneimes from the gound and in the sky, sometimes both. MML even has a RPG feel to the game, you buy and find new armor & weapons all over the island. With puzzles to solve and several sub-missions. The graphics are...Well....It looks like your playing a cartoon, and the whole look of the characters and city reminds me of Japanise animation, like the Dragon Ballz cartoon. The story in the game is kind of silly, basicly the pirates attack the island for a treasure and our blue hero gets in the way so they want to kill him. The characters acting is a little stupid too. But Mega Man has always had a goofy plot anyway so this didn't bother me. This game is worth giving a look, You might want to rent it first to see if it's worth your gaming dollars. But I do believe this game is a must see.
