I have been a true lover of Mega Man games since the early games on the SNES, but this stands above them all. This game has a story, the other games just had you run through levels with three simple tasks, blow up, pick up, beat up. Legends brings straight into the world of Megaman, along with his family, friends, but no starnge lizard-type bosses.

The game has smooth controls that are easy to use and are very simple. You can walk, run, talk (and if nessecary shoot). The game has a great story where things yo u do affect things in the game. Say you want to get a soda, but don't want to spend the money. You kick the machine to get the drink. But the more you do this, the more people don't like you. But if you do good people with think highly of you.

Now to a thing that alot of people worry about in games: BLOOD. Well one word can tell you the blood factor of this game: ZERO. All enemies are machines, robots, servbots and huge machines controlled by villains called pirates.

Allot of the game consists of you finding things. Such as finding things like a vacum piece will help you build a gadget that lets you suck up items. Also this game feels that weapons should not be allowed in a city. For right as you walk in you weapons go bye-bye. This game is enjoyable because of the thrill of finding things, building new items, and going on missions that you dream of but can't do. (Because when was the last time you saw a red spaceship with a pirate's flag on it?) Unfourtunatley, people with a short attention span will give up when they have trouble figuring out the next mission. Though in the end, this game is just damn great.

Mega Man: Better than you thought!

I am a big fan of Mega Man! I have loved Mega Man games ever since they were released on NES and Game Boy, but this game re-defines Mega Man. I never thought that Mega Man would make it in a 3D game, but this one is a lot better than I expected! You can choose different weapons like splash mines, machine guns, canons, vacuum and more! You can also use Mega Man's sister Roll to combine items you find to make special gadgets, such as rocket skates, spring shoes and a protective helmet! You can combine different buster parts that you find to enhance your buster gun too. There is also a pretty good story line to the game too. Unfortunately, the game doesn't quite follow the old Mega Man story, there isn't a Doctor Light or Doctor Wily in this game. If you like action/adventures or Mega Man then this is the game for you!

A must BUY!

I bought the game to see if it was interesting. And what I found was a game that starts off in action and suspence! It is the coolest game and RPG I have ever bought. If you like Action/Adventures and/or RPG games, Then this is a game for you. This game really ROCKS! I just can't seem to get away from it. You gotta try it! I guarantee you will like it!

A good game with lots of heart...

To me, Mega Man Legends is one of those games you'll remember years after playing it. The game itself doesn't break any new ground and has its share of flaws, but the overall experience is definitely rewarding.

Mega Man Legends pretty much plays like the earlier Tomb Raider games control wise. Unfortunately, there are a few problems with the control scheme, such as a lock on system that doesn't allow you to move while locked on an enemy (which was fixed in MML2), and the fact you also must contend with moving the camera manually in order to compensate for the lack of a better lock on system to hit your mark.

Legends also uses a pretty similar graphic engine as Tomb Raider as well, complete with all the flat, 2D scenery that rotates with the camera and all the pixilated surfaces and clipping problems that accompanied that era of Playstation gaming. Unlike Tomb Raider, the environments in Mega Man Legends are much brighter and colorful, adding to the games cartoon-like feel, rather than the dark, dank death-trap ridden tombs that Lara Croft raids.

The pretty low difficulty level of the game is also an important factor to look at as well. Considering this game is somewhat geared towards an younger audience, this isn't an error so to speak, but older, more experienced players will fly through the game in a handful of hours (especially considering most of the game bosses can be defeated by constantly circling around them and firing). Thankfully, Capcom added an unlockable difficulty setting to make the game harder for those looking for an additional challenge (oh and is it ever a challenge). Add to this Capcom increased the difficulty on Mega Man Legends 2 a few notches, and all can be forgiven here.

So with all these problems, why is Legends such a good game? Heart, and lots of it. Mix in a good story, a wonderful cast of characters (and enemies), and throw in some of Capcom's more respectable forays in voice acting department, and you got a winner. While some may claim that Legends carries a "kiddy tone", I actually find this to be one of the game's charms and strengths. Honestly, if you don't laugh when one of the Lego Men, err, I mean Servebots messes up and angers Tron, there is something wrong. Seriously, it isn't anymore kiddy than a Mario or Zelda game (or most of Nintendo's gaming library for that matter).

The other thing that makes the Legends series so great is the fact Capcom decided to quit while they were ahead. While I myself still wish they would churn out a Mega Man Legends 3 (considering some of the unresolved issues in Mega Man Legends 2's ending), at least Capcom didn't make a zillion sequels and drain the series of all it's fun and respectability, of which they have done a fine job of doing to the original series and X series.

In the end, Mega Man Legends is not a game you'll remember for amazing graphics, razor-sharp control, or challenging quests. Instead, you'll walk away with a overall memorable experience.

I never liked mega man games. This one changed my mind. It is incredibly interactive provides lots of stuff to do and awesome power ups. I get kick out of just walking around in the city areas in the game. In a few words kick *** story, game, powerups etc. The game is worth every last penny. It's great for newbies and experts.

The Greatest Mega Man game ever made!

As I mentioned in my review of Mega Man X2, the Mega Man games have become a big part of our culture, and now he goes on his biggest and best adventure yet in the PSX version that has Action, Adventure, Plot/Story, and RPG elements.

To me this is the greatest Mega Man game ever made! I know that graphics are a little outdated, even for a 1997 game, but graphics aren't important.

The game was very fun and the story was very involving with the characters. The characters were very unique and interesting. While I was a little dissapointed that Zero wasn't in this game, I quickly recovered when I found out that Sigma wasn't the final boss in this game. (Sigma is starting to bug me in the Mega Man X series now!)

Fans of RPGs such as Brave Fencer Musashi or Legend of Zelda won't be dissapointed with this. Mega Man quickly got away from its old formula and started anew that actually works!

The bosses are very challenging and exciting. The game was a hard game no doubt! While compared to other games this is short as hell (it'll take you about 6-10 hours) there are several things to explore and lots of sidequest that are hidden in the game. For example you can help the police stop bank robberies!

No more side-scrolling and that was OK to me. The game proved worthy on my list. While others are out there playing other games like "Devil May Cry" and "Resident Evil" (both by Capcom), they forget about old classics such as this.

Capcom gave us a gem with this game, and to me it was a treasure. (It would make about number 3 on my top five PSone games list) Keep an eye out for this. You surely won't be dissapointed by this game. Capcom has given us a true gem.

This is just as memorable as Final Fantasy VII

I still remember my first time playing a megaman game, i was only 10 years old at the time and i remember it well.... There he was, a little blue guy who shot bullets at evil robots and machines, gaining new powers as he went along, then things changed, the future of megamna is still yet to be determined but i'm sure the Blue Bomber still has enough Juice left in him for many sequels for years to come! If you love megaman then this is they game for you! Also try Megaman X4 for Playstation!

I recently just rented this game, and I thought the storyline line was great, but the game was too short. But if you take your time(unlike me) you can get some very cool weapons. If you want to get this game, I'd say GO GET IT!

Best Videogame on Earth!!!!

Not only is Mega Man Legends the best Mega Man game, it (along with it's sequel) is THE best videogame ever created. I experienced unfathomable ecstacy playing this game in my youth. Some of the very best moments of my life were spent playing this game. Wonderful story, characters, battle system, upgrade system, level design, music, and graphics (for the time). A very emotion inspiring game. It will live in my heart and mind for the rest of my life. I can't possibly say enough about how much I love this game. It is just that good.

THIS IS THE TIGHTEST GAME FOR THE PLAYSTATION EVER!
