    The games in MMXC are the kinds that will make your wrists hurt and your palms sweat, and I mean that as the highest compliment. [Feb 2006, p.97]
  2. Having a perfect version of MMX3 is reason alone to spring for this package, so if you're a fan of 2D action, you really can't go wrong with it.
  3. If you've got the patience and the drive, Mega Man X Collection is a fun title that challenges your gaming skills and gives you a good history lesson in the process.

    Just 6 very similar games and an unlockable racer.
  5. Mega Man X Collection features the triumphs and failures of Capcom's most dynamic duo. It faithfully renders all of the aspects of the games, be it the quality platforming, the tough bosses, or the less savory things like bad level design and ridiculously challenging obstacles.

    If you can put up with a few outdated cliches, and the occasional irritation, though, this collection has a lot of prime gaming packed onto the disc. [Feb 2006, p.103]

    All 6 games (and one bonus) still stand as some of the best and most challenging of 2D gaming, starring one of the most revered characters in the gaming universe. [Jan 2006, p.49]
  8. The controls on the system are as tight and responsive as ever and the action...oh, the sweet action...still delivers.
  9. 80
    An excellent flashback to old-school gaming in its finest hour. [Feb 2006, p.70]

    It's a shame that there aren't as many games on this compilation as there were on the Anniversary Collection ("Mega Man Soccer" really should've been included), but you're still getting some fun games (expect, of course, "Mega Man X6").
  11. This is a fine gathering of the better X games, although X5 and X6 do tend to drag a little. Furthermore, the package isn't as loaded as "Mega Man Anniversary Collection" was.
  12. Even though the unlockables are unbelievably light, Mega Man X Collection is a great value.
  13. Six quality titles and one bonus game make for a great collection. But make sure you bring your "A" game because you're going to need it.
  14. 75
    Mega Man X Collection is money well spent. X1, X2, and X3 are the best games to show up in a retro set in quite some time. Don't miss them.
  15. For those with fond memories of battling Sigma long into the night, this is worth checking out.

    With all honesty, this Collection (even without X7 and X8) makes the Legacy Collections cry.

    With all honesty, this Collection (even without X7 and X8) makes the Legacy Collections cry.
    The emulation here is great, all games run perfect here, and they even included the PSX version of Mega Man X3!
    The Gallery is good, the extra game is unexpected and... kinda lame, Battle & Chase?
    The only issue I found is that Mega Man X6 doesn't have audio clips on the dialogues...
    Overall, this collection is a far superior way of playing these games than Legacy Collection.
