The game builds upon the original, adding newly rendered 3D character models, totally new environments and gameplay features that raise the bar for side-scrolling platformers. Mega Man Maverick Hunter X also includes an animated movie that provides real insight into the Mega Man X universe and even gives gamers a sneak peek at events that took place before the plot line of the first game. Plus to ensure that even the most veteran of gamers is given a real challenge, the level arrangements have been modified; with item locations, map layouts and the strategies needed for completing levels all updated. The year is 21XX. A mysterious robot named X has become the model from which further robots, called Reploids, were created to aid mankind. Unfortunately, some of the Reploids turned against the humans and were given the name Mavericks. In response to this, the Maverick Hunters, an elite squad of Reploids, was formed to combat these renegade Reploids and calm was restored until one of the Maverick Hunters, a powerful Reploid named Sigma, turned against the peacekeepers. Now X and his fellow Maverick Hunter friend, Zero, must prevent Sigma from executing his evil plans to destroy humanity. [Capcom] Expand

Irregular Hunter X Gameplay Movie 2
Score distribution:

  1. Capcom goes above and beyond with the new Vile mode, an additional difficulty level, remixed music, a thirty minute animation, and the Mega Man Powered Up demo. Even better, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X carries an MSRP of $29.99, $10 less than most new PSP games.
  2. With wonderful aesthetics, some cool extra features, a budget price-point ($30 or so), and short loading times, Maverick Hunter X is one of the most pleasant experiences on the PSP.

    Capcom has taken an extra step in ensuring that this is more than a quick remake with flashier graphics.
  4. Veteran players can look forward to the challenges of Vile mode, while newbies will discover a faithful remake of one of the best platformers on the SNES. Yeah, $30 sounds about right.
  5. A reminder of everything that was great about the series, including the superb control and beaming visuals and sound presentation, and it throws in some new goodies to keep fans shooting well into the future.
  6. A pretty picture to look at and a port of an excellent Super Nintendo action title. On the other hand increased slowdown and its short length will restrict Irregular Hunter X strictly to Mega Man maniacs. [JPN Import]

    With a few adjustments this could have been something special. As is, it's a bland, archaic mess.

Mega Man Maverick Hunter é um grande exemplo disso! Simplesmente perfeito este game, isso prova q mega man pode sim ter jogos 3d com uma excelente qualidade! Aqui não é só um rameke muito bom, como também explica quem ajudava o X e o Zero antes da Alia, noa abrange mais ainda a história e com um rameke das fases, jogabilidade e músicas TODOS refeitos, sem ser completamente igual a versão de SNES, sendo essa uma muito boa também! Jogue para vc mesmo ter sua opinião!! Expand

The 3D characters and environments make the world so much more believable and immersive. Albeit, some of the characters need a little polish or redesign. For example, Launch Octopus looks pretty bad, he doesn't really resemble the original snes sprite or artwork. It upscales to 1080p pretty good, they should've remastered it for current gen systems. Capcom should remaster the entire X-Series like this, 3D brings it to life. Expand

The graphical touches are nice, and everything runs smoothly but the best part is that some of the hidden items have had their locations switched up so veteran players will have some fresh secrets to discover. This is simple, fun, retro goodness and is a must play for any fans of the Mega Man franchise. Expand
