    The game penalizes you with MORE fire tiles, if you keep your words to just 3 letter tiles, so it's a constant challenge to make longer words! I have not yet tried the other Bookworm games, so I can't currently speak for those. However, if you love Scrabble and other word games,
    MEGA MAN MAVERICK HUNTER X is the perfect addition to your word game collection.

    Esse jogo é um remake bem fiél do jogo do SNES, ele é divertido e tem as mesmas coisas do clássico, a diferença mais notavel são os gráficos e os cenários que ficaram bem detalhados, uma coisa que eu gostei nesse jogo foi o Vile mode e as cutscenes que são bem legais

    This game is brilliant in every way. It's by far the best game on PSP, and it is for the PSP what New Super Mario Bros. is for the DS, if not better.

    This is the great return of Mega Man X. Sure not as great or memorable as the first 5 games but sure is still fun and great. Capcom knew how to fix up Mega Man X.

    This is a really underrated remake. 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.This is a really underrated remake.

    Having a new version of Mega Man X with the ability to play as Vile with custom gear loadout is great.

    Remaking games is limited this days , and Mega Man X MH is worth checking out. For starters and Mega Man X veterans this needs to be in your list now that the PSP doesn't have to many games.

    It's very nice to see this updated version of the SNES's Mega Man X. 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.

    A really incredible 2.5D remake of the classic Mega Man X, this reboot not only includes a full transitioned port of the original, but also includes anime style cutscenes, a full 30 minute movie on the backstory of the marverick war, and how everything started, and the ability to play through the game as vile as well.

Highly reccomended to action platforming fans, who are looking for a game with great graphics, incredible, mind blowing music, and fun, exciting gameplay. did i say the music kicks ass? and the game for that matter?… Expand

    Very fun game, challenging and frustrating, but worth it once you collect the parts and whomp on the bad guys. I had fun with this and would certainly recommend it to mega man fans.

    Its about as good as the title makes sense. Its not quite as good as others in the series. It suffers from enemies that take too many hits. The stages aren't very long. The bosses are too hard. You can latch onto walls to make the platforming a little easier. This doesn't make the gameplay good. I think its mostly the level design and enemies that need some balance. It just feels emptyIts about as good as the title makes sense. Its not quite as good as others in the series. It suffers from enemies that take too many hits. The stages aren't very long.

    An old 16 bit Super Nintendo game that's been tarted up with new sound and graphics, but plays exactly the same. Mildly amusing in small doses but it's very old fashioned.

    suhweet! Here I was reminising about the good old days, and thinking about that Mega Man: Powered Up game that they're doing for the PSP. I said, yeah Rockman was good, but Megaman X is better. They ought to make a PSP game from the Mega Man X series. So what did they do? They made a Mega Man X PSP game based on the first one in the series That's What!!! But's it's notsuhweet!

They also add in new boss intros and dialouge, a playable Vile campaign, and a 24 minute backstory movie! Fanboys will rejoice, critics will jabber, and wallets will empty. I don't know if it's telepathy or what, but I am a happy happy boy, Heck I was afraid to go to bed, fearing that I would wake up and discover it all to be a dream. But's it's not, and in less that a month, I'll be able to play the game that introduced me gaming on the PSP. A8 year old's dream, 10 years in the making… Expand

    Very. very fun game. Although frustrating at times, this is not only a great mega man game, it's a great game period. Fun at home, and on the go.

    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]

    This is where the PSP begins to run away from the DS. Yeah, I said it. [Feb 2006, p.60]

    Irregular Hunter X will satisfy your need for some side-scrolling shooting. The game is exactly the same as the original although with a few changes to keep things fresh. [JPN Import]
