Snes - Megaman X3 Review

Megaman X is a new series about Megaman. It is not known whether Megaman from the Megaman series is related to Megaman X from the Megaman X series. It is hinted at at times and some sources say yes while others say no. I personally believe no because Megaman X is a darker series where friends die and allies become bad where as Megaman seems a bit happier. So far only one character, Dr. Light is seen in both series and no mention of Megaman's pal Rush. So X is probably set in an alternate Universe with possibly similar characters in the past. This is not Megaman 12 by the way (at least I do not think so, Capcom may release some Megaman game which bridges Megaman and Megaman X together).

Gameplay: 8/10

Like Megaman X, Megaman X2 has excellent handling although once again, the jumping could be a little higher. This time, Megaman X can get an air dash modification which allows you to dash in the air horizontally as well.

Graphics: 5/5

Excellent animation once again.

Sound and Music: 5/5

Excellent music in Megaman X3.

Game Design: 3/5

The game design is much better this time round. The power ups are not impossible to get and the helmut modification will reveal where they are.

Longevity or Replayability: 2/5

This game while not exactly long will last you some time as you conquer the levels.

Against: Some very difficult areas
