This game is perfect!Maybe you don't know how this title looks like? It's an amazing game. Across the game you will battle against old robots, that are in the old SNES version: Megaman X. You'll also meet new friends and villians, that were unknown untill now! This Megaman is the most difficult of all the serie, the graphics are amazing and the sound is also. This is another must-buy title

Great Game Boy Title!

Liked Super Mario Brothers DX but just need something a little bit faster for your tastes? You'll find it in Megaman Xtreme. This game is a solid conversion of the original Super Nintendo side-scroller classics and it features bosses from Megaman X and Megaman X2.

Some of you might be wondering how they implemented dashing in this one, since the Game Boy only has two buttons (traditionally, X is a three button game - shooting, jumping, and dashing). They worked around this quite nicely. You can double-tap the directional pad to dash forward. Down-A made you slide in the original games, but it also makes you dash here (very useful). For dash jumping from wall to wall, it is automatic once you find the dash upgrade early in the game. There are also functions for auto-charging of the X-Buster, as well as for auto-firing.

A few suggestions. Although it is supposed to work on a normal Game Boy, it's performance is prone to a great deal of slowdown. Whereas, in contrast, the Game Boy Color runs as smoothly as the SNES originals did. In fact, I don't even think I noticed any slowdown, despite how much was happening on the screen. Besides this, the GBC naturally gives color to the game and it is very nice. The backgrounds are every bit as detailed as in the SNES titles, although the sprites are a kind of simplistic in comparison. They animate very well, however.

Overall, this is a very cool Game Boy game. But you'll want to have a Game Boy Color to really appreciate it.

This Game Is SO Xtreme! (pun intended)

Okay, lets get started. This game is VERY good. I was going to get Mega Man 64 but it was back ordered. After buying this game I feel that I made the right choice. After it arrived I tore it out of the little plastic bag and popped it into my GBC. This game is cool! I had read that it was really hard, but to me it was kinda easy. I beat it on all the modes and I got all the secrets in about 7 hours. But I am a hard core Mega Man player so it might be harder to kids and teens who have never played before. The graphics are very good. The story is a little confusing but I made it through without any trouble. The game has a few frustraiting moments but if you practice you will make it through. I heard that on regular Game Boy it has some slowdown (when a lot of stuff is happening on screen and it slows down the gameplay) but I can't confirm that. Here are my ratings for the game:

Graphics - 5.0 Great!*

Sound - 4.5 Very Good but sometimes annoying

Control - 5.0 Very Precise!

Fun Factor - 5.0 Buy it if you have a Game Boy Color!

* - I used a Game Boy Color so I don't know how the graphics are on regular Game Boy.

This game is great. I got it when it first came out and played it for about 20 HOURS and still never beat it. This game is a great twist of the classic Mega Man X and X2. Buy it. You'll love it.

This game is the best game ever it is awesome. You fight awesome bosses and enemies. The last boss is sigma. He has two modes the first is easy, you just stay in a corner and shoot him. The second one you just stand on his hand and shoot his head.

6 stars.....

This game is amazing! It is a GBC port of 2 classic SNES games. It's amazing how you can put this all from the Super NES onto a Game boy color*. When you first play the game, there are four bosses: Chill penguin, Storm eagle, Flame stag, and Spark mandrill. When you beat these Bosses + 4 SIGMA levels, you unlock Hard mode.It won't be easy. (Don't beleive the game, Hard mode is actually EASIER than Normal mode.) In hard mode, you fight these guys: Wheel gator, Armored armadillo, Morph moth, Magna centipede. Oh, and watch out for zain and geemel, THEY'RE BIG TROUBLE without all 4 armor upgrades. Also, there's an attack of every color: Shotgun Ice[Light blue], Storm Tornado[Lavender], Speed burner[Red], Electric Spark[Yellow], Spin Wheel[Green], Rolling Shield[Orange], Silk Shot[Gray], and Magnet Mine[Blue].

**This game works on the original Game Boy.

This game is great no matter what anyone else says

This game is basicly like megamanX1 and 2. Its very fun its got the same first level as X1 and the same last level boss to. but you cant be zero but oh well. hes not the greatest person in the world. this game has lost of challenges. also its got the same classic music and gaffics as X1. This is harder then X5 to tell everyone the truth. Lots of games are easyer then that game. anyway my final words are THIS GAME IS GREAT SO BUY IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where's Zero?

It's been a very long time since I played this game, so I may leave some stuff out. I remember when I played this game for the first time, there was only one game that I ALWAYS wanted to play, but I never found it, it was metal slug but I didn't know it was called metal slug, so I looked for other games that reminded me of it, then I found Megaman xtreme, so i got it and played it, but I could not believe how hard it was. " why is this so hard?" i asked myself, especially on one of the last levels,( I think there called Sigma stages or something)there was this one where you have to percisely conntrol a flying lift of some sort by jumping exactly at the right time or you would restart that area. it took me about..... probably a month to figure it out, then, when I was up with the last boss( I think that was Sigma) it was incredibly difficult, but somehow I beat him using all the muscle in my hands(The game boy color was somewhat, uncomfortable) I even unlocked the hard mode, which I was very proud of because megaman xtreme was the hardest game I played back then(and I heard metal slug X was a very hard game). I have great memories with this game, including my first most difficult game I "partly" compleded.plus the longest review for a game I made.I would definetly not recommend this game to someone because of all the frusration I took.Unless your were as unchallenged as I was in video games.

Megaman Xtreme - What's old is new

A great game if you have only seen some Megaman's, but if you are a hardcore fan like me and have played X and X2 you may find it Waaaay too familiar. It's a combination of X and X2 with maybe one or two new things thrown in. Hey, you can always get emulators and find roms for X and X2 and get all the game. (I don't recommend this cuz' it's illegal). At least they could have made Megaman Xtreme a complete combination of both games instead of using halves. It's true, X and X2 are very good games. If you're new to megaman and prefer not emulating or buying X and X2(you should buy them if you have a Snes to run it on), GET THIS GAME. If you have played X and X2, DON'T.
