    Se siente como el punto medio entre el X4 y el X6,de tal forma que no posee los puntos buenos de uno ni del otro.
    El final del juego depende del azar sin importar lo que hagas.
    Los sprites de los personajes y enemigos están mal implementados,parecen cortados de una hoja de papel.

    This game seemed subpar compared to the incredible Mega Man X4. The music is also not the best I've seen it at, but some tunes are good to hum to. The collecting of 2 different suits of armor, though, is new and is certainly welcome to the series. The game also starts you off with the X4 suit of armor if you play as X. Also, all of these new characters such as Alia and Dynamo seemed This game seemed subpar compared to the incredible Mega Man X4.

The game also starts you off with the X4 suit of armor if you play as X. Also, all of these new characters such as Alia and Dynamo seemed to pop out of nowhere, so there was no time for character development. They seem more of a nuisance than an importance. Try your best to listen to the story, cause it's a bit confusing. ANYway, I did enjoy playing this game, partly because I collected all the cool stuff. Any Mega Man fan will no doubt play this game over and over.… Expand

    game is enjoyable. It isn't as great as some of the other x-series games, but it's not a disaster by any means. The music is catchy (Dynamo), the option of X or Zero keeps the game fun. The difficulty wasn't too high, the bosses seemed harder with X than Zero, despite Zero's close-range handicap. The game get's INCREDIBLY fun when you hax the game and get X's game is enjoyable.

The game get's INCREDIBLY fun when you hax the game and get X's ultimate armor from the very beginning. Oh how his Giga Attack amuses me so. The first final level was quite challenging, and in megaman fashion we see some familiar faces. In conclusion, not bad.… Expand

    Nothing more than a fun, nostalgic 2D platforming romp that will only appeal to true hard-core fans.

    This is 2D action gaming at its best and I'll take this over almost any 3D adventure game or platformer any day of the week.

    Solid and consistent. If you loved 4 then you're almost certain to love 5. On the other hand if you've always hated Megaman then move on as this is truly more of the same.
