This is the coolest MM game for the playstiation. I love the cool grafics and Zero is sooooo cool, i like how you get difrent weapons if you are Zero compared to Mega Man, the only thing that isn't too great is that it dosn't have anithing too arringinal, like the screws in MM8, or the awsome robots for mmx3, but it is soo fun...i hope they come out with mmX5 for playstation 2... PS>>> MegaMan Legends stinks, i dont think that they should have made megaman look soo stupid :( PPS>>> If you dont like the other MMX games, youll probobly wont like this one, except it has a million cheats

A Great Side Scroller

Mega Man X was a great series on the Super Nintendo and it continues on the Playstation. In these side scrolling games, you control a humanoid robot known as X. Although based loosely on the original Mega Man series from the days of the NES, the story of X takes place in something of an alternate universe. Both X and his comrade Zero are Maverick Hunters. Their objective is to destroy aberrant robots, known as Mavericks. The Mavericks are led by Sigma, who is the personification of a computer virus. The X series is often considered to be darker and more sophisticated looking than the original series.

In this particular game, you can choose to be either X or Zero. X controls much like the original Mega Man did. He can walk, jump, and shoot his Buster cannon. He can also cling to walls, something exclusive to the X series. Zero, on the other hand, controls in fundamentally the same way, but his weapons are different. Zero has no long range attacks, only a lightsabre type of sword. It's arguably harder to go through the game using Zero.

As per the usual Mega Man routine, you are pitted against eight bosses. They are Web Spider, Split Mushroom, Cyber Peacock, Storm Owl, Magma Dragoon, Frost Walrus, Jet Stingray, and Slash Beast. You get to pick who you want to fight first. After going through their respective levels (typically based around themes like snow, fire, and so forth), you fight the Mavericks themselves. Upon defeating them, you get to take their weapon that you can, in turn, use against a different Maverick. Zero's system is a bit different, as you get skills, not weapons. Such skills are executed in a manner not unlike most fighting games (like Street Fighter II). After dispatching the eight bosses, you are taken to the final showdown against Sigma himself.

The new things in X4, besides the ability to play as Zero and the obvious graphic enhancements, also include anime cutscenes, a game saving ability (instead of passwords), and more bizarre animal bosses. Of note, all of the bosses have a sort of "desperation" attack that they use when their energy runs low. A nice touch.

The graphics in this game are big and detailed. The levels are lavishly designed, but they aren't as long as their Super Nintendo counterparts. The music is still in the power synth style used in the original games. One thing that got annoying was the sound effects. The robots tend to shout or yelp whenever you have them jump or shoot. This can get on your nerves.

Play control is top notch, although you might want to reconfigure your controller setup so dash is one of the upper buttons instead of the default Circle button. The game isn't overly hard as X, but you'll find quite a challenge in beating the game using Zero.

Overall, if you enjoyed the first three X games, here's another one to satisfy you.

Mega Man struts his stuff in another sequel

Many people are tired of Mega Man and his dozens of games, but those people are also missing out on a great gaming experience. This is one of his best and it would be a shame to pass up. Sure the gameplay is basically the same as before, but what's wrong with that? The graphics and sound are still great and the story is more serious than other games in the series. Don't miss out on this.

Great game, great fun

MMX4 is a very good game of its type. It's gameplay is identical to the other MMX games on the SNES, but that's not a bad thing if you enjoyed the first 3 games. The anime scenes are a nice addition, and the little introductions before boss battles add a bit of atmosphere to the game. Overall, a very well-done game, if side scrolling action's your thing.

Solid Mega Man

By owning this game, you can trust what i have to say about the game. I enjoy mega man games emminsely and have played almost all of them to date, and i think this one keeps the beet going on. Like X3 you are mega man going aroung fighting a certain number of cybernetic animals in futuristic worlds. Unlike most mega man's you have seen, in X4 you can choose to be either Mega Man or his friend Zero. Zero is a little difficult to get the hang of because he uses a sword, not the X-buster. What is neat is you still are looking for those capsules that give you enhancment parts to your suit. One little bump in the road for me is the endless amount of "Final" Bosses. It seems to necer end, there are literally over 7 bosses you half to fight after you defeat the normal bosses. But i throughly enjoy this game as i do most mega man's, and i would reccommend this to any hardcore mega man fan, like myself:)

Pretty Good

This is probably my favorite Mega Man X game. Becasue you can play as Zero. Its kinda easy with X, but the final boss with X is hard, but easy with Zero. This Mega Man game requires a little bit of skill before you play as Zero. (If you want to test Zero out, then you can always try X3 or X5, but in X3 he only has his Z-buster.) The story is great, and the animation scenes are very nice. But the voice acting is pretty bad. The endings are kinda crappy, but in every X game I've beaten the ending needs work so I'll let it slide, just have fun. I would recomend this to anyone who is a fan of the series. Its great, and Zero has a much larger role, where as in X3 you called on him and he only came once, well in this you get to be Zero through the whole game! However, be careful who you choose at gamestart. If you choose Zero you can never play as X, unless you start a new game. If you choose X then you can't play as Zero. Zero gets NO capsules, so if you are very expierienced at this game then choose Zero. If you're a beginner, then I'd recomend X. But its your choice. Again, there are four capsules. (in all the stages at the top on the selection screen) but they aren't very easy to get. Great game, much better then some of the previous ones (though X2 was really good)

X4 is the best

If your looking for the newest game to add to your collection look no further!!! Mega Man X4 is the best(in my opinion) of mega man games. You can play as X and Zero and has slightly different endings for each adding replay value. Great cut scenes that will leave you shouting for more and a story line that will keep you hooked from the start.

Fairly good game

Its not perfect but it is an average Mega Man game which makes it a good take up time game, the Zero part is interesting but could have been beter.

Awesome Yet Very Challenging

This game is great.The difficulty is hard though,but a little practice and you can master it with ease.For me it took about maby a month or so to beat the very last boss.Anyways,the animation is not the greatest but it still looks neat.The plot is great and it has a great background to hold up the plot.Your mavric enemys this time is very cool such as Magma Dragoon,Storm Owl,Slash Beast,Frost Walrus,Jet Stingray,etc.....This time you can be zero(who I always pick)If you ask me id tell you to be zero instead of mega man,even though mega man has more weapon capabilities.Zero is more supirior in speed and plus he has a close range weapon and I choose close range over all.Although zero may not be for a new player,zero is more for expierienced players.I sudjest that eather you train with mega man for a while or even better,just buy mega man x5 and train on that since its so easy.The last boss on that game would be as challenging as one of the simple mavrick hunters who guarded the secret weapons such as web spider,lol,seriously,that game is that easy but its perfect for practice to get better at these far more supirior mega man games.Note that each boss has a weakness to a certain weapon that you may carry,try em out!!Unfortunately Megaman x5's bosses are weak to every weapon that you have.So,pass up megaman x5,unless you need it to train to get ready to play this great and fun game.

P.s. MegaMan x6 will be realeased soon.I here it will be even more challenging than MegaMan x4!!Im gonna check it out some time,cya later fellow reviewers.
