    The game is not bad, but the problem is: Is so short, and not have unlocking items like the other megaman X Game's, and capcom can do the controls better than that

    A perfectly playable game. Unlike X6. The game has a terrible voice over, but the story is... passable. The graphics are alright, nothing special though. The gameplay was boring, but not unplayable. That's it.

    While Mega Man X7 is constantly slated for it's blandness, the game itself isn't that bad, if you haven't played any other mega man X game before this one, then your first few hours with it will be incredibly infuriating, however once you get used to it, it's not so bad, saving reploids and powering up abilities is a lot of fun, however the main character Mega Man X isn't playable untilWhile Mega Man X7 is constantly slated for it's blandness, the game itself isn't that bad, if you haven't played any other mega man X game before this one, then your first few hours with it will be incredibly infuriating, however once you get used to it, it's not so bad, saving reploids and powering up abilities is a lot of fun, however the main character Mega Man X isn't playable until half way through the game, which might possibly be because he's rubbish to play as in my opinion, Zero is better but the fact that he's a melee fighter with a short-range weapon makes Axl much safer and more fun to play, the final levels can be incredibly infuriating, especially the infamous boss fight with Red, which I was on for a day and a half, embarrassing I know, but it was difficult, the final boss isn't as difficult as the fight with Red is, but anyway that's Mega Man X7, better than X6 but worse than X5.

    Just...yikes. There is nothing to like about this game, other than a very select few tracks and Red's concept (note I did not say execution). This is the only ugly blip on X's radar. Glad 8 came along and wiped this away, leaving us even with good feelings of Axl.

    Megaman X6 era un juego con muchas fallas e incoherencias pero al menos era divertido, desafiante y con el mejor soundtrack de la saga.

Es cuando X7 llega y te hace olvidar las falencias de X6 con un terrible gameplay 3D y un 2D regular, el doblaje en inglés hace ver al del primer Resident Evil como una maravilla, peleas de jefes desesperantes no tanto por su dificultad sino porque nos enfrentamos a tipejos que no saben cuando callarse la boca.

    No solo es un mal juego, sino que también es muy aburrido, me lo terminé únicamente por compromiso pero dudo que vuelva a jugarlo.

    Graphics are meh and the levels are meh they could have been better. The music is good. But the story is trash as well as the gameplay. The game lacks a lot. Why does this game get good reviews?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I hate this game. Seriously. I F#$@ing hate this game! It ruined the Mega Man X series which is why there is no Mega Man X9 and Capcom decided to make a remake of the first Mega Man X game. But enough of that because I am about to explain why the game is terrible. They made X an unlockable character and in order to unlock him you need to rescue reploids which is a pain because they are located in places that they are very likely to die and they die in one single hit and if a reploid dies. That reploid is gone for good. Another thing is that the camera is awful and the player controlling is clunky. Expand

    Starting with your song I would say it's the best of the whole series with a mix of rock and some electronic music, then the graphics are good for the year it came out, the story is as simple and generic as any Megaman With your villain always reviving, the Bosses are very DIFFICULT, now the worst, your camera is one of the main HORRIBLE things in the game you need to move manually butStarting with your song I would say it's the best of the whole series with a mix of rock and some electronic music, then the graphics are good for the year it came out, the story is as simple and generic as any Megaman With your villain always reviving, the Bosses are very DIFFICULT, now the worst, your camera is one of the main HORRIBLE things in the game you need to move manually but still HORRIBLE, you also feel that the face of the characters are just images, pngs , placed there, artificial intelligence is HORRIBLE to enemies that with axll take you almost a minute to kill you, music is one of the only good points of this game that keeps you playing, if it were to say if it's worth buying. so the year it launched would say no much less today ...

    I was looking foward to X7. When I first played it, I like it for a while...but now it got stale and boring. The graphics and the soundtrack are great but the voicing and the levels are horrible however. In my opinion, the characters are sometimes slow. Sorry but I think X7 is the worst Mega Man game ever, infact it's the only Mega Man game I don't like. Atleast CAPCOM learned I was looking foward to X7.

    Quite bad. The story is dull, like it has always been in the X series. The sound is annoying. Same grating difficulty, which may be good or bad depending. The 2D segments are just the same as ever, which is bad, since it's the same thing we've been doing repeatedly since Mega Man debuted on the NES.

Though the 3D areas are even worse, the camera work is shoddy, and it isn't fun in any regard. The lack of decent gameplay kills this title.

    I saw all the bad reviews for this game from the critics. I can understand their viewpoint but this game is sort of an experimental stage too for Capcom. They had to bring the game into 3D, because if it would have stayed 2D, I bet they would have caught a lot of flak there too. As the game itself, I am loving it. That is probably because I am a X series vet. The difficulty went up big I saw all the bad reviews for this game from the critics.

That is probably because I am a X series vet. The difficulty went up big time, but that makes the game last longer and we all like that. It could be frustrating too, but you are a gamer and don't know tolerance, you have issues. I also understand that they could have done better, but I guess that is what X8 will be for. Just for an average fan, this is a great game. The Mega Man series was always the same formula, and that is what the fans like. If they had switched it up too much, then the game would have got hate as well from that angle. I will agree that a lof of the new elements that they did introduce here, needs to be worked on big time i.e the targeting system. Also, some of the enemies attacks are downright annoying and the camera angles need to be worked on more next time around. One thing I found annoying was the graphics, considering the power of the PS2. Like some of the labels used on the reploids to be saved look lame. The red labeling looked like something from the 80's. They could have made the game look a bit more sleek and furutistic for sure. Basically, level design could have been done better. Expand

    Other than the stylish cel-shaded visuals, there's hardly anything new here... Seriously, I haven't seen camera problems this bad since the early days of PS1. [Nov 2003, p.138]

    If the controls were tighter and the targeting system sharpened up, Mega Man X7 could have been a killer update. As-is, the game is a lethargic has-been.
  3. The 2D gameplay hits some bright spots but is hampered by the new, boring 3D sections. There isn't much to keep you playing other than to relive a shred of Mega Man gameplay in 3D.
