Megaman is back and is good.
Graphics and sounds are what you expect from MegaMan, They are okay nothing huge but it gets the job done. They got rid of the cell shaded characters from X7 to nicely looking 3d models. On a good note the voice acting is very well done, It was a good surprize, and the videos in the game are great really bring the series to life.
X's armors are back and this armor set looks real cool. The story is pretty good it actually explains some stuff unlike the old megaman days where you shoot and well.. try and pick up some peices of story on the way.
Ive noticed slowdowns in this game which is weird because the graphics arent really that huge, maybe it was programming? I really don't know but it dosnt really hurt the game at all.
In Megaman X8 the action is there, the fun is there and if you like games like this rent it first just incase these games arnt for everyone, but personaly im a die hard Megaman fan. Its either you Love it or Hate it.
