The best of all the Mega Man games. Period

I had played every Mega Man game up until X4 came out, and I can safetly say this is the best one ever. X5-X8 just had pictures with words which I thought was totally lame. With X4 they had complete cartoon anime scenes with full dialogue and how awesome was that? The game play was fantastic, the graphics were fantastic, you could play as Zero all the way through the game, Mega and Zero had their own story elements. Awesome game. One of the best ever.

Perfect for newcomers to the X series

I've been a Megaman fan nearly my entire life, and after 16 years of great gaming, I still play and enjoy all the MM titles I own. After completing the 3 mind blowing SNES MMX titles, I was concerned that a MM game on the Playstation wouldn't be nearly as good as the SNES games.

I couldn't have been more wrong! Honestly, I was absolutely blown away by this game. Sure, it still can't compare with the awesome SNES Megaman X titles, but who cares? This game rocks! It retains many of the qualities which made the SNES titles so much fun to play. You still collect heart tanks, sub-tanks, and armor upgrades from Dr. Light's capsules as you proceed through the game. You still battle 8 different maverick bosses, and the stages feature many different breathtaking environments.

A new feature to the X series which I was very happy to see was anime FMV cutscenes! These anime style cutscenes really help move the story along, as well as add a new twist to the series. The only problem with the cutscenes is that the voice acting can be exceedingly painful to listen to. Oh well, at least the voice acting in X4 shows improvement over that of the earlier Megaman 8.

Yet another new feature which many fans of the X series have come to appreciate is the ability to play as Zero throughout the entire game! At the start of the game, you are given the option to choose between Megaman X or Zero. But don't expect perfection, because whoever you choose, you will be stuck with for the rest of the game. This is the only problem with the character system. Sometimes, midway through the game, I felt an urge to play as the other character, which meant that I would have to restart the game from the beginning with that character. The music also didn't come anywhere near the awesome tunes which the SNES titles had to offer, although the music in X4 was at least appropriate...

But the good qualities of X4 far outweigh the bad. Basically, if you're a Megaman fan, you must not pass on X4. The cutscenes, new environments and weapons, and ability to choose different characters will keep you playing this game for longer than you would expect. If you don't at least try it, you're dead inside.

Perhaps the second best in the Mega Man X series

Mega Man X4 is the second best game in the X series.

Pros:
-2 different scenarios: play as X and receive various arm-shot weapons, or play as Zero and learn various sword techniques.
-Beautiful 2D graphics.
-New parts system.
-Bosses are new in style.
-Beautifully animated anime cutscenes.
-Cool new characters.

Cons:
-A little easy sometimes.
-HORRIBLE voice acting!

The bottom line: this is a very fun game to play, but there is one thing you might want to hear: Zero is not for beginners. His moves are much harder to learn. However, masters should challenge themselves playing it with Zero. If you enjoyed the first three (X3 is the best), then I highly recommend this.

Amazing game challenge!

Megaman X4, a game rivaled only by the SNES MMX titles! This game is definitely a well polished piece to have in your collection of megaman titles. Gameplay is great, with lots of "move too slowly and die" areas, cool bosses(although Capcom apparently ran out of cool names), interesting levels, and a very interesting plot. One of the more notable features of this game is the ability to play as Zero. This was originally introduced in X3, but then he was weak and couldn't fight bosses. But this time he's back and ready to kick some arse! In this game, you can choose between Megaman or Zero. Who ever you pick is who you are the rest of the game, which means Zero has more than one life and can kill bosses! Woo! Anyways, this game has a good level of challenge, being delivered more in getting through the stages than the bosses(although some can make you wanna bite a chunk of your controller off and spit it across the room, i.e. final boss). The weapons are really cool this time around. Capcom apparently had some real thinking time about weapons after two games' worth of dull weapons. The plot of this game is AWESOME, the Repliforce forms a Coup and they are labeled Mavericks. And in this game(and unfortunately, only this game, unless you look outside of the X series and count MM8), you can see the plot come to life in awesome anime cutscenes! (Capcom went lazy after this and made X into an unfortunate slide show with subtitles.) I haven't really listened to the music in this game, cuz I was too busy blowing stuff up in the enemy filled levels, so I can't rate it, lol. Anyways, this, X5, and the SNES titles are all great games and I would suggest you stock your gaming library with all of them(good luck on X3, cuz you'll need it unless you're made of money!). This game is a definite must have for someone new to the series and someone who grew up with the series. At least borrow it from a friend or your life will be shrouded in misery and pain!!! Muah hahaha!

Mega Man 3, 7, and this are my favorites!

I've been playing Mega Man games since the late eighties, and this is one of my favorites. In fact, it may be my favorite in the X series. I've had it since it was first released in 1997 and I still play it occasionally now. This game is so cool! You get to play as X or Zero, you get anime cut scenes that tell the story, plus there's even blood and a little mild profanity despite the KA rating(now E). The challenge level is just right. I never found this game too easy like X2, but it was never too hard either. I've literally beaten this game dozens of times, so the replay value is pretty good too.

The story was actually very interesting in this game. I don't think X, Zero, and the "Irregular Hunters" were actually in the right. You seem almost like tyrants in this game and even more so in the next game. If a reploid has his own ideas then...
Well I'm probably one of the few fans who is so interested in the story. Isn't this just the Blade Runner story anyway?

At any rate, this is the last great 2D Mega Man game. I highly recommend it. The Megaman Legends games are really funny in their own weird way, but it's not the same as good old fashioned Mega Man.

X4 coo

This review is hard to write because I am so mad that I wasted my money on this game. Oh whoopie, you can play as Zero the fighter, butt zero is how much I should've payed for this game. There isn't one thing about this game that I like. The story [is bad] and the fight and graphics are absolutely awful. If you want a real game, don't waste your money on this. Don't even rent this game. This game is so bad it make Pong look good.

4 and a half, really.

This game is really a lot of fun and is probably the best X game for the PS (X5 was too easy, and I haven't played X6 yet). This game has my favorite character from the X franchise, Zero, as a fully playable character. The cut scenes are well animated, but the dubbing is hideous. Even so, I had fun with it. I have beaten it with X, but I just can't quite do it with Zero. Zero is stronger than X, but also harder to control. Once you pick a character, you are him for the whole game. Of course, I did cheat, but who cares? Why not try without a cheat code next time. That's what made it easy. Here's hoping the best will happen for X7!

Megaman X 4 an amazing game

A great game for anyone who likes Megaman games. Gameplay is great. It is a fun game. Kinda hard too. Depends on how good you are at the megaman games. Great scenes of anime. you get to play as X or Zero. Once you choose a character at the character selection screen you can't switch unless you start a new game. Good graphics. You get to find capsules like any other Megaman x game. Zero gets no capsules. Pretty much my favorite Megaman game. It is amazing.
