Mega Man 8

A fun but short game. Mega Man 8 has customizable upgrades, you can mix and match them for greatest efficiency. Fight your way past 8 main evil robots (just like in every Mega Man game) and crush the vile Dr. Wily. Anime and cut scenes add to the plot and fun. Good graphics, well worth the time and money.

This game is the best!

This game has good grapics. Me and my sister laugh at Mega Man because hes a boy with a girls voice. There is not any voilance it. Mega man is also a robot. My sister is also in love with him when its just a game. The games controles are good too, when you get use to them. At the begining of the game you should see what boutons do what. When you are use to the controles, go out and blow up some evil robots.

Great Side-Scrolling Action

The Playstation, and almost all post 16-bit consoles for that matter, have been seriously lacking in the side-scrolling game genre. Mega Man 8, however, brings us back to that strange technological world that started on the old NES.

Mega Man has to stop the nefarious Dr. Wily for taking over the world. Wily has, naturally, created eight new robots for Mega Man to battle with. They are Tengu Man, Grenade Man, Clown Man, Frost Man, Sword Man, Astro Man, Search Man, and Aqua Man.

The game mechanics are true to its predecessors, with few new additions. Mega Man can actually swim now, a la Mario. It also borrows the "money" concept from the Game Boy titles, allowing you to buy upgrades for the Blue Bomber. It is also divisioned into two parts, like the Game Boy titles. You fight the first four bosses, then the next four (identical to Mega Man 7).

The graphics are wonderfully cartoonish and animate fluidly. The bosses also demonstrate a lot of character and are generally fun to fight. The music is good, but no tracks really stick out in my mind.

I'd say that I only have two qualms about Mega Man 8. The anime sequences are well done, but the voice overs could have used work. There is a lot of yelling that gets irritating. Also, I think the final battle could have been a lot more exciting.

But, all in all, it's a very good game to add to your Playstation collection.

Mega Man 8 shows the tradition that Capcom has kept for the game and some new added bonuses. As there were in recent Mega Man games there are 8 enemy robots, special weapons, and nonstop fun. Some examples of the new stuff is the clashes between 16-bit animation and cartoon animation, upgrades that you can buy with bolts found throughout the stages, and more. Mega Man 8 is one of the best games I've played. If you like this game you'd also like Mega Man X4.

Mega Man 8 is one of the best games I have played. I may be biased because I like all "Mega man" games but this is one of the best. I think it is great for everyone because I play a lot of games and this is the best I have seen in a while. For all those other Mega Man lovers out there I also recommend Mega Man X4

A few improvements, but much like all the others!

This game is really fun and all, especially for those who love all of the old Mega Man games ( such as myself) but I was kinda dissapointed. I expected it to have more bosses and levels. Just like all the old ones, you chose your opponent and then fight him and get his ability, then chose another untill you beat them all. It has been like this sense the first one came out! However it is fun!In this game, you can actually upgrade your wepons and stuff, but the graphics arn't that much better then the Netendo versions ( Although there is a cartoon in the begining). If you're looking for long gameplay hours, this is NOT the game to buy! If you're lookng for "another Mega Man" then I would recamend it.

The 8th Megaman game, and it's still fun

Perhaps Megaman 8 should have been called Megaman Playstation instead. It feels more like a new version of Megaman than a true sequel to the other 8/16 bit Megamans. The graphics seem a little bland in spots, but for the most part it is a solid game. A few of the bosses seem corny, but after so many Megaman games there's only so much to work with. The gameplay is right on (even though the game can be hard in spots) with all of Megaman's moves every gamer has come to know. I think it's safe to say that even though it could have been better, Megaman fans will not be sorely disappointed with Megaman 8.

MegaMan 8... oh man....

Oh boy... I didn't know what I was getting into when I bought this game. I was lucky, see. I went to a second-hand store and sold a few games and managed to pick `MegaMan 8' up ... . A true bargain considering the game was in PERFECT condition.

My review is mixed, however. I'm an old-school MegaMan fan. I love most of the NES games (some are better than the others) and I love all of the SNES games. MegaMan 7 and then Megaman X1-X3.

My problem with MegaMan 8 is that it feels too much like a cartoon. I like the anime cut scenes, but the acting is horrid! I wish they would have gotten the actors from the MegaMan cartoon. That would have been a major step up.

I didn't like MegaMan's voice at all. He sounds like a little girl. The guy who played Bass should have played the Blue Bomber. Some of the bosses in the game were ridiculous, and some of the stages were harder than the entire game of Megaman X5.

The upside is that it is classic MegaMan fun. I liked the fact that the `Boss Anthem' was back from MegaMan II (when you click on a boss, the small piece of music that plays) and the music after you destroy a boss was back.

Overall, MegaMan 8 is a decent game. It doesn't deserve the title `Anniversary Edition', but it was well worth the [money I paid].

This is coming from a direct gamer

Okay...now I'm not a fan of Mega Man, and I have only played this Mega Man, which I recieved as a Christmas present 2 years ago. I recently put this up on a rummage sale for $7 after playing it about 4 times. (In two years!) Well, I just took it off, because i figured out, they are paying mad prices for it on ... so im gonna sell mine there for about $30. Anyways, I played this 4 times....out of the two years I've had it, and my 4th time was the day before the rummage (which was two days ago)...my advice is that if you like cartoons, then this is for you. Nothing but cartoon humor, cartoon mischief, cartoon talking, cartoon bubbles...THE WHOLE GAME IS A CARTOON! I guess if you have liked MM for awhile, MM8 would be good for you, but not for the average gamer. If I had to rate this at an age scale, I would say it is from ages 6-10. My lil step bro likes it, and he begged me to play it and he did, (even though he totally ... as it)...i watched him play it, and it was a cartoon. The only cool part was the TV-like anime at the beginning. I have the Collectors Edition, and there are only 10,000 ever pressed. I collect things, but this, I must say, even though there is a limited number, and they are no longer making this, ...I have to sell it. I won't ever play it, and I wouldnt ever spend the money to put this in a plaque cuz it just isnt worth the money.

So, to wrap it up...If you've liked Mega Man, or you're intrested in the Mega Man legacy...or, for that matter, if you like cartoons, then this is for you...and yes, agreeing with one person that said this earlier...Mega Man sounds like his little sister.

Nostalgia alert! Calling all old-school fans!

I just love this game! It's good, clean, old-school fun! In all my 14 years of playing video games, this was a good departure from the fangdangled 3-D. I would have liked it if Mega Man Legends had a sequence where you would use Rush to chase after your spotter's car or Flutter after Proto Man hijacks it with Roll, Data, and even the old fart held hostage inside. It was nice to see Proto Man back again, in living color, and Dr. Wily too. If you are longing for some good, nostalgic fun, and if you'd rather fight eight robots and learn their powers rather than fight huge, rusty buckets of nuts and bolts called Reaverbots, then this game is for you! For all you old-schoolers and Mega Man veterans, this game is a must!
