While it's not exactly welcoming to a first time player, repeated playthroughs of X6 have made it one of my favourites in the series, for more than just the music and how well X and Zero still play. The new armours are among the franchise's best, the story's actually pretty good once you get past the iffy translation, and I did enjoy my time with the stages overall, even with stinkers like Blaze Heatnix's onslaught of donuts, or Ground Scaravich's stage being RNG incarnate.
