    The plot is in badly translated Japanese and makes little sense, but still the game is curiously 'unputdownable'.

    Decent-looking and extremely fun,...fast, tough, fun and a solid 2D blast from the past that is priced just right at $30.

    The kind of game you can’t get out of your mind. Though frustration may make you set it down (I limited myself to about an hour a run) it’s a game you can always come back to.

    The environment designs are not as creative, the stages are way too short, and the boss battles are surprisingly easy. [Feb 2002, p.94]

    If you're a Mega Man fan, then you've already purchased the game and have been playing to your hearts content. You can move on to other parts of the web-site.

    Actually worse than its recent predecessors. [Feb 2002, p.116]

    The once fresh and inviting Megaman franchise has grown putrid.

    I played every game with mega man in it's title, from the old NES games to the new playstation games, and I beat every game within one I played every game with mega man in it's title, from the old NES games to the new playstation games, and I beat every game within one or two days and i've just got to say that this game is my all-time favorite!!! MMX5 was good because of Zero, but this game is good,with Zero just being a secret character!! It even has got it's voice system back, which was missing in MMX5, so what ya going to say now? Gotta go, greetings to all MMfreaks in the whole world-cArn,Germany.… Expand

Megaman X6 é sim o game muito divertido e mesmo tendo de certo ponto atrapalhado o começo da série Zero, pode ser consierado um dos melhores jogos da série X! O game é fácil para os veteranos, mas as "quests" de salvar os Reploids são bem divertidas e vezes ou outras, bem difíceis. A lista de Powerups herdada do X5 também é uma exelente adição. Mesmo que possua uma atmosfera MUITO sombria, é um genuíno Megaman X (ou melhor, Rockman X). Ótimo! Excelente! E o melhor, o final do game é meio favorito dentre os da série X! AWESOME!!!… Expand

Unlike X5, this game is actually challenging, and quite fun at times. Some of the stages are putrid *BH, IM specifically*, but there are underrated gems. CY stage looks inspired and the enemy designs look fantastic. RTs level is annoying with the light effect, but really well designed without it, I like the rain mechanic. SS is really short, like, they could’ve spent more time on this level. The gate stages are quite BS at times, but they are doable. X has new armor, the blade armor is decent, and shadow is hella fun, until u can’t use it in the gate stages for some reason.... overall I really like this game, shame it’s put down like this… Expand

    Gull? Whats this zero's in here good he diden't die, O wait my mistake he does die in the end (or should I got killed off) this Gull? Whats this zero's in here good he diden't die, O wait my mistake he does die in the end (or should I got killed off) this game is like X meets soup opras! and when zero dies because of his weakend and shamful saber(which can fortunitly be fixed with a power up) he sounds really, realy, really bad another thing can't capcom stick with one voice for zero instead of changing it all the time! I'm Canadian, eh and I can't possibly understand chinese or whatever it was that they were saying!. The power ups were better than x5's but the levels sure weren't! X's amour sucked more than X5's too. Unless you like megaman (Z fans don't play or you'll pay) Any way don't play (30 bucks for this, they should pay us and for anyone that already got this call the cops you were robbed!)… Expand

    Man o man. Ever since X4 it just hasn't felt like megaman x. X4 was the last good one, and 5 was a little worse, but X6 is a disgusting Man o man. Ever since X4 it just hasn't felt like megaman x. X4 was the last good one, and 5 was a little worse, but X6 is a disgusting pile of flaws. Picking megaman or zero before every level? Then you get to a point to where the other one is the only one that could pass? The weapons suck, the story is crazy, and high max is a flaw itself. This game got near impossible [you only pass some flaws by another flaw in your favor] and full of flaws. I don't know what they were thinking, and just when you think the story is going to change, it just becomes the same again and again and again.… Expand

GettingA terrible game with cheap level designs and bad difficulty. I love challenging games, but... this is the WRONG type of challenge. Getting blind-sided by enemies, getting dog-piled by enemies, random spawn enemies, this game is among the worst games of all time.… Expand
