This X game I thought was a bit too easy except at the end when your in "what's his name's" lab. That's really all I can tell you since I haven't played it in a while. I give this game a 4.79 out of 5 and a 9.48 out of 10.

(Great) game

Play this game first with Zero before you get Mega Man Zero. This game is okay put it gets dull because it is the same old same old I wish capcom offered something different besides Mega Man having Zero saber. I got this game because I wanted to see the story of the Mega Man X saga continue. Good news the next Mega Man X game Mega Man X7 will be on PS2 and in 3D.

Too difficult

I think this game is really awesome, it has a good amount of bosses with powers you can take after you defeat them.

There are many good things about this game, for example you can pick from more than one character to play with. The endings are different it just depends on who you pick. Another good thing about this game is the secret weapons and armor parts. In each level parts are wisley hidden and hard to find, but when you find them you won't be dissapointed by their power. You can find secret weapons from reploids which is another word for human. Some hold ancient items and weapons. Another good thing is some of the items can enhance your abilites, like your speed can go up to mach 2. some enhance your attack power.

The only bad things about this game is that the graphics are a little poor. There are not that many levels to complete. And you need a memory card. Although I really think this game is cool.

And if you think it's a stupid game then how come they made so many mega man games.

Better then X5 But still a disappointment

After playing the disappointing X5 I wasn't expecting much out of the sequel, But I hoped X6 would be better but I didn't hold my breath, So when i got X6 in the mail i quickly poped in the old playstation And started playing, I was disappointed yet again, There was no FMV cut scenes but the same stills with subtitles that were in X5 but this time the game makers added dialog to the game, But wait a minute the dialog was in JAPANESE No English dialog! Whats the point? Someone should have told capcom that in the USA we speak ENGLISH! It wouldn't have killed them to re-dub the dialog. The Graphics are great and Sound is very good The gameplay is much better, The game is pretty challenging but some parts are very hard and there are parts in the game were you just can't avoid getting hit by someting?. Controll as in any other megaman game is great and offers a new crouching feature and the ability to use zero's saber. Overall the game is pretty good it offers allot play time and very good gameplay but offers little replay value. It's the little things that make a game great, with no english dialog or FMV cut scenes and a lack of plot it seems to me that X6 was a rush job, X6 is better then X5 but neither live up to the awesome X4. If your a die hard megaman fan then this game is for you, But for all others looking for a good platform game you wont find it here.Pros: Great graphics & sound. Enhanced gameplay. Smooth controlls. lots of armor upgrades. Cons: No FMV cut scenes. No english dialog. lame plot and storyline. Very hard at times. I own every megaman game even the japanese versions not avalible in the USA and it seems to me the megaman series has gone low budget and is at the end of the franchise ladder, I doubt there will be another Megaman game after this one but if there is i hope that capcom will put some effort into the next sequel.

Enter ye of much Megaman faith

I've read all the reviews of this game and couldn't help but provide one myself:

This is NOT a horrible game. I give a distinct nod to all the fellow Megaman fanatics who cry upon every mountaintop that this X and Zero sexti-qual is NOT worth the effort it took you to look up this very webpage. For the die-hard fan, this game hardly contends with popular X series, volumes one through four. In fact, if you do deem this game worthy of the cost, you will soon find that Capcom truly did not learn from their mistakes in Megaman X5.

I must tell you, however, that I had a grand old time battling the dastardly forces of Sigma and the Maverick regime once again. I really think that the game kept well with the time-tested inner conflict of X, who, though whiney, is always on the side of Good.

Meanwhile, I'm happy with the effects of the "Nightmare," where X finds himself immersed in something new each stage. These strange changes in the stages only serve to elevate your sense of self-worth. The older Megaman X games always seemed so quick to me--this game kept me going for a lifetime.

While I would give the game itself all five stars, I've got to mention in my final note: What the heck is going on with the rush on Capcom? Most of the Maverick boss names were never translated...and some of them are only done half-so? I may not know what an "Infinity Mijinion" is, or what the subtitled voices in the cut-away dialogues are saying, but I know that Capcom could have at LEAST changed them for what is considered an English-speaking game.

The fall of the Mega Man X series.

I know I have one review praising this game but now I've a second view on this game. It really isn't that much better than X5 if at all. You'd actually think Capcom would LEARN from their mistakes that X5 had. Well they didn't they only made the game worse.

Mega Man X6 was a surprise to me. Being that there wasn't even a year wait from X5 to X6. This is good for those hard-core "It doesn't matter if it's good" type Mega Man gamers but for the gamers who actually want a COMPLETE game this one is rather rushed for it's release, and because of that Capcom didn't take the time to take out what was wrong with X5. X4 was a great Mega Man game and the ones before were brilliant. This one is merely subpar.

First the gameplay. There are no cutscenes at all but rather still animated scenes in Japanese voices that carry the story along. What's worse? The handwriting isn't quite legible with the letter "f" commonly looking like a "t".

The worst part of the gameplay is how levels are never the same twice. You MUST do levels in a certain order to get all the armor pieces. This is bad because you need ALL pieces of an armor before you can actually use it. Well the whole random level thing would be nice if it would actually LET ME GET THE FRIGGIN' CAPSULE! How am I supposed to get to a capsule when this huge gray block is in the way? You don't, once that "random" effect happens it stays thus making you start a new game.

The other bad thing is that Zero really isn't the best in this one. Unlike X4 you'll need X to get nearly all his power ups for him. It takes the fun of playing as Zero. What does this do exactly? Well, it means that if X must get Zero's powerups it means that X has to go through the level in which X get's the heart and the bonus at the end of the stage. Something that Zero could get.

The music is okay at times but get's annoying. Unlike X4 and before it doesn't set any sort of action mood that suits the stage. X can use Zero's Z-Sabre but you'd have to be desperate not to just select Zero because X battles much too slowly with it (stick to the X-Buster).

As I mentioned you must grab all four pieces of an armor before you can actually put it on. This really brings up the decline in the X-Series. Since in the Pre-X5 era we were all used to the part being added to X's armor right on the spot. It was fun looking for all those capsules. This element is lost as well. It's no fun looking for the capsules especially when you need one armor to get another one.

The game actually does present a bit of a challenge though. But what I really didn't like was that the final boss is the SAME DAMN FINAL BOSS WE'VE BEEN FIGHTING SINCE MEGA MAN X1! I'm so tired of Sigma. The game fools you by making you think the final boss is this guy named "Gate" when at the end you only end up fighting Sigma all over again! This wouldn't be such a bother if Sigma wasn't always the final boss! Thus meaning Sigma's role in this game is pretty meaningless for a LONG time. He at least DID stuff in X4 and X5. But in this they taunt you by making you think it's "Gate".

Sorry but this is a bad Mega Man game to get. Go back to X4 and before because those were Mega Man X games to remember. I hear Mega Man X7 is different though...which could ultimately be a bad thing.

Not as bad as five but...

+PROS: I love the Megaman games! I've been playing them since I was a kid. The X series is my favorite but it started to decline with Megaman X5. This game is a little better than X5 because you aren't forced to listen to Alia's messages that frequently halted the flow of Megaman X5's gameplay, and I really like the Shadow armor which finally lets Megaman conquer his greatest foe of all: SPIKES!

-CONS: Unfortunately there still are no anime cutscenes like the ones in the outstanding Megaman X4, and the storyline is weak. There's so much more that could be done with this series, but they're just not putting the effort into it anymore. I don't think Capcom really knows where they're going with the story. What we need is a serious game with a decent budget and some freash ideas. All the bosses don't have to be animals (or plants) and Sigma doesn't have to always be the final boss. I'm sick to death of Sigma! They need to finally reveal EVERYTHING about the origins of X and Zero and whatever ties they may have to the original Megaman series and perhaps the Legends/Dash series, then they should conclude the story. Unfortunately Megaman X7 jumps even further off track with the storyline but I'll stick with the series till they get it right again.

Megaman X6 is an O.K. game but if you're just getting into Megaman I'd reccomend the Megaman Collection coming out in May and Megaman X4 first. This one's just for Megaman X loyalists.

I am not bias...I just love megaman!

ok, first things first, CAPCOM has some of the best games out there, and the Megaman Series (original and X) was, is and will always be revolutionary, unique, and exciting to the end, no matter how many outings they unleash. I mean you don't get much more original than a little blue bot defeating bigger bots, taking there powers to use on other bots, all to save the world, I mean, CAPCOM started it.

Now as far the series goes, this is (of the X games, being I haven't played 7 or 8) the best...hands down. I love how they made finding Zero a goal, and an interesting one at that. It's so rewarding to finally get him back. And unlike x5 where I found myself prefering MM in the Ultimate Armor over Zero (red or black), Zero regained dominance as top hunter and player in my book. His moves get cooler with every game. MM is still cool, but Zero takes the cake as far as playability and excitement (he never gets old!!)

The bosses I thought were interesting (and tough as the broad side of Sigma's Last Form). Yes, a dung beetle is quite unthreatening in real life, but a suitable and worthy foe when in maverick mode. I mean come on people, they have to use DIFFERENT animals, and I give CAPCOM an "A" for both effort and expression. They keep coming out with great MMX games, despite vague, babyish and unrealistic expectations of so-called "hard-core gamers."

Over all the controls are fine, the levels are very cool. I LOVE the nightmare system! so what if the level changes??? BIG DEAL???
If you love games, then you should invite a challenge. This game does that, I mean Metal Shark PLayer's level is certifiably frustrating, but that is the driving force to get better at it, no one should have to get through the level w/out continuing at least once. Sure, Gate was crazy hard, but practice makes perfect.

A worthwhile game and a worthy addition to the X Series. Over all I give it a 10, though it only goes up to 5 stars!

Its so hard not to vent, when I know millions of gamers are missing out b/c they think they could program a better MMX game from their basement. This is a great story and the evolution and rolling out of events really pulls you in (despite imagining what the cut scenes would've been had they included them, which they didn't for reasons other than "CAPCOM's gone cheap"-which they haven't).

Do yourself a favor, buy this game, if you have no PS of any kind, find an original PS console for real cheap, get this game and a controller and knock yourself out. You'll thank me for it!
