You know, I was planning on making a long review for each of these Mega Man X games I’m playing, but I don’t have it in me for this one. It’s Mega Man X7, what else do I need to add that hasn’t already been talked about a million times. Boring gameplay where auto lock on ruins all the challenge previous games had, a lame story, bad characterization for X, 3D gameplay that makes fighting enemies pointless, slow and lethargic menus and cutscenes, Alia is still a nuisance, ugly looking graphics, terrible stages, obnoxious bosses, and, to top it all off, the worst final stages of any Mega Man game (at least from the ones I’ve played): Palace Road and Crimson Palace. This game is worse than X6, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

If I had to give this game some positives … I mean it’s slightly better than Devil May Cry 2, because at least this game introduced Axl, has a pretty good soundtrack, and I can get a little ironic enjoyment out of some cutscenes. Overall though, yeah one of the worst games I’ve ever played. X8 better be miles better than this pile of crap or else I will quit being a Mega Man fan. /j
