This is the continuing story in the "Megaman" series but, with an all-new plot . Megaman must duel w/pirates, reaverbots etc. to save an imperiled island, while trying to find the mysterious Mother-Lode, which is a powerful treasure . I really liked the voice dubbing in this one . The weapons are awesome, the acting is PERFECT, and the mini-games are nicely done .(not to mention the missions) if you thought "Megaman" 1-9 was hard, just wait until you try this one ! p.s. Also be sure to check out "Megaman Legends 2" !

Mega Man in 3D

Finally, after YEARS of seeing Mega Man in 2D shooter side-scroller gameplay, Capcom began to realize the video game scene was changing, and realism was becoming more important than ever. So in 1997 Capcom decided to take the classic gameplay of the old Mega Man games and bring Mega Man to an ENTIRE new 3D world. I finally got to experience the 3D Mega Man adventure a few days ago, in July 2006. So it took me NINE years to finally play it! What can I say? I'm slow!

I have a few problems with certain parts of the game but overall, I'm happy to report that the jump to 3D was a good one (not to mention a NECESSARY one!) Mega Man spends the entire time in Legends jumping and shooting through a unique 3D environment.

I'm surprised so many people hate the graphics in the game. They're quite wonderful if you ask me. Sure, the graphics may be dated because the game is nearly 10 years old (and walking around in Mega Man Legends is sort of like walking around in a giant land of legos) but none of that should matter because you have to take into account the amount of FUN a game provides. Mega Man Legends provides a LOT of fun.

I really loved one of the very first boss fights in the game where I had to keep running and hiding behind buildings because these giant walking blue, red and yellow machines were throwing bombs and shooting laser beams at me. The first time I completed this battle it took a good 30 minutes ONLY for a bigger, badder machine to come in and defeat me in seconds. At first I was angry because the game wouldn't let me SAVE before fighting this fourth boss. "A half hour of work flushed down the toilet" was the thought that went through my head.

That led me to think the game might be too hard for me to handle, but it turned out I just didn't have the right upgrades for my X-buster equipped (actually I didn't have ANYTHING equipped!) so when I went back to do the battle again I defeated him (her, actually) rather easily.

Most of the enemies throughout the game are rather easy to defeat (including the boss fights). Many of the boss fights will keep you on your toes, though. The strategy to defeating many of them is to KEEP RUNNING and only turn around when the moment is right and BLAST them! The only boss who isn't easy is the very last boss (who sounds like Michael Jackson) because he has TWO forms. The first form you can figure out with practice, but on the second form he turns into a giant machine and THEN the challenge increases. But it's possible to find enough money to carry up to 10 Sub-tanks to help you out DRASTICALLY. If you were to carry 10 Sub-tanks he would be a VERY easy boss! Despite that, the game provides a nice challenge because the way the story unfolds forces you to do a LOT of things. You have to go HERE, you have to go THERE! You have to collect THIS, you have to collect THAT! You'll find out just how many items and weapons are in the game when you hit the Start button and see everything in your inventory. It's borderline INSANE.

You see, to help make the game easier, what you have to do is go around searching for things (things located in treasure chests or holes in walls) and then you have to bring the things you collect back to this yellow vehicle where your female friend (or sister, I forget who she is) will be inside. She can find ways to turn many of the things you collect into important weapons for you to use. She must be smart!

I think I explained myself correctly, there. It's kind of confusing because there's so many things you have to collect and that's the main reason I can't give the game a perfect 5-star rating. TOO MUCH! In Mega Man Legends you will find SO many weapons and SO many upgrades that it can easily confuse someone (like me) who's normally not exposed to this much activity in a video game.

You have to find a little dancing monkey to save your game. When you're lost, he can also help you by telling you where to go, unfortunately many times he doesn't provide enough information. So you can be left wandering around for hours until you finally have no choice but to find a strategy guide on the internet to help you out.

The music in the game is nice. It's usually played quietly which is odd because most Mega Man music is RIGHT in your face. If you can actually hear the music, it's pretty much what you'd expect from a Mega Man game.

Listen to those sound effects!! Sound familiar? Think South Park! One of the children (or "pirates") sounds JUST like Butters, and a newswoman who appears later in the game sounds like Kyle's mom! Some of the animation looks like South Park, too. When did South Park come out? 1997? Hmmm, makes you wonder...

Once again, the graphics. They aren't as bad as I thought they'd be. Sort of blocky, of course (since this IS Playstation ONE we're talking about here) but I can't bring myself to really hate the graphics because there's a certain mysterious charm about them. Mega Man Legends LOOKS like a children's game but it's not, really. Most children wouldn't be able to complete the game because some boss strategies require careful timing and it would be difficult for a child.

The play control... goodness. It's definitely not easy to figure out at first. To make Mega Man walk straight, you have to hold down the L and R buttons (this rotates the direction Mega Man is facing) while at the same time you have to use the up, down, left and right buttons to make Mega Man walk forward. So, because you have to do a lot of running in Mega Man Legends, when an enemy is chasing you and RIGHT behind you, you have to turn around, use the L and R buttons to face him, and THEN hit him. In the middle of hitting the L and R buttons will probably be the time you take the most hits. It may take a few hours to properly pull off but you *should* become better at it with practice.

A trick to help you: when an enemy is chasing you, run as far away from him as possible and THEN turn around. Usually the enemy will be far enough away that you will have time to control Mega Man so he's facing the enemy directly. Then, simply wait for the enemy to get close and fire away! I wouldn't blame you if you couldn't figure out the controls- it's not the greatest way to control a character. I'm not sure if Capcom improved the play control in Mega Man Legends 2.

I find it funny and insulting that when you find a hole in a wall, many times a *very* small amount of money will be located there. Small enough to not be able to afford ANYTHING. It's funny because Capcom made it like "wow, you found money!" only to insult you with sofa cushion money. To find a LOT of money you have to run around shooting enemies.

Just running around shooting enemies and collecting zenny (money) is a lot of fun, not to mention addicting. A pretty good game worth picking up.

Mega Man Legends is a great game. Its long, it has good audio,and it's fun. Witch to me is the most important part of a game. It's only bad points are the graphics(it's 3d inviorments,but 2d figures.)Another bad thing is the controls witch take a while to get used to. Except for that,the game is a keeper and I highly recomend it.

ONE OF THE BEST MEGAMAN GAMES EVER!

Like I said, this has to be one of the best MegaMan games ever! And what's cool is, it's not the exact same original Megaman or X series. I'ts totally different! A baby was found in some ruins and raised by Barrell Caskett with his granddaughter Roll. He's later named MegaMan and they all go out digs together to make a living. They crash land on a uncharted island that's riddled with ancient ruins. Next, a family a air pirates, the Bonnes, show up and screw everything up for the people trying to find the treasure buried there. The hot babe, Tron Bonne falls in love with MegaMan, but doesn't want to admit it because she's a pirate! This game's got a great storyline that leaves a mysterious impact. I'ts almost like a Zelda game, but futuristic! Another great thing is the awesome weapons you can build and upgrade. The pirates ships and robots are sweet too. They've got unique designs and many destrutive weapons. Near the end of the game, it's kinda confusing and it gets even deeper into the story, but you'll get the hang of it. When I beat the game, I wanted more. But then after the credits went by it read "to be continued". I almost passed out. More Mega Man Legends! Then I thought,"Well, duh!" There has to be another game to explain the entire story and all that confusing stuff MegaMan Juno was talking about(sorry, don't wanna spoil it now do we). Over all, buy this game. The graphics may not be that great, especially for a PS game, and the characters may look like their cardboard, but the story and action is what counts! If like a game that has a mythical or legendary storyline, Mega Man Legends is for you!

My Favorite Game or All Time

Megaman Legends
This is my undisputed favorite game of all time. I bought it in 1998 or so because I had played and loved Mega Man 3 for the Nintendo NES System - Video Game Console when I was young. This game was nothing like that game or any other Megaman games. It was in 3-D and had a story that would blow your mind. I have played through this game around 50 times and no every single part of it by heart.

Graphics- 7/10
The transition to 3-D for Megaman isn't an ugly one, but a decent one. Most of the trees have a 2-D look to them and a lot of characters are blocky. Still, you can tell what everything is easily and there is no slowdown at all. Not to mention, there is hardly any load time to wait through in this game.

Story- 10/10
You are Megaman Volnutt. Roll Casket and her Grandpa, Barrel Casket, have raised you since they found you when you were a child. Following Barrel's footsteps, Megaman and Roll become Diggers. Diggers are people who search through ruins, infested with Reaverbots, to find parts and other things. The main thing a lot of Diggers are looking for are Refractors, which are extremely powerful crystal-like objects that power society. The world is almost entirely ocean so people must use flying machines or boats to get around. Megaman, Roll, and Barrel crash-land their flying ship, The Flutter, on an island called Kattelox. You go on to discover the island's many secrets and fight off the treasure hungry pirates.

Sound- 7/10
The music and sound effects in this game are decent. Nothing will blow your mind away but nothing will annoy you to death. Some tunes even become catchy, like the Apple Market tune.

Gameplay- 10/10
You play as Megaman: exploring ruins, fighting pirates, and just helping people out. There are a lot of side quests you can do. You can join a secret gang, fill a museum with underground arts, help a little girl recover, play in game shows, and so much more. The main storyline has you exploring the Sub-Gate ruins in hopes to learn more about the Island's great treasure, or disaster. While in Sub-Gates you can find all kinds of items to do things with. It's not just in the Sub-Gates either; you can search in other digging sites for parts. You have a primary weapon called a Buster Gun, which can be upgraded with 2 buster parts initially. These buster parts can be bought or found and change different aspects of your Buster Gun's shooting. You have a secondary special weapon that can be equipped and upgraded as well. You will get many different special weapons in the game and one of the most fun parts of the game is upgraded your weapons to perfect ability.

Difficulty- 4/10 (Note- This is how much I like the difficulty)
Since this game is more story based, the difficulty is slight. There is hardly a time where you feel that you are going to die, minus a few bosses. Once you beat the original game, you can go back and play it on a new Hard Mode option. The game is still not that much more difficult but some of the bosses will give you more trouble. Also, to top it off, the game isn't that long. Even the player who likes to talk to every single person and gets lost often can still beat this game in less then 15 hours. That includes the main storyline and all side quests, minus special weapon upgrading. I can now beat the game on Hard Mode in around 5 hours.

Overall- 10/10
Despite the game being easy and not having the best graphics or sound, it's still 5 stars. The game's storyline and gameplay is so good that the rest doesn't even matter. You'll still find yourself going back and playing this game over and over again.

This is one of the best Megaman games ever!!!!!!!Don't be fooled if your looking for a 2-d side-scrolling Megaman game though, because this is not the same as the other Megaman games. The graphics are great for a Playstation game, but the environments are very blocky and blurry. This game is very fun and enjoyable. I would recommend this to every Megaman fan. Overall this is one of the best Megaman games ever!!!!!!!!!!

favortie megaman game ever!

This is the best megeman game so far. It is alot of fun. HAs a nice twist, and cool and hard end of the game boss battle. For those who have never played it, but love the megaman games, buy this one. It has so much to do. You can find scrap parts to make new weaopns. I bought it (years ago) the day it came out. It took me about a year to beat it. I must have replayed it about 30 times. Its always fun and hard. A great gift for a little one (7 or above). I love how when your in the shoping center thing, that if you kick the can into the Bakery megaman becomes a darker color if you do it a couple of times.. great game it is.. bye
