For someone who's never played any Mega Man games before, this is a good place to start.

User Rating: 8.1 | Mega Man Zero 3 GBA
At first, I thought that any and all Mega Man games were overrated. Probably because of the fact that there's to many of them. Then I heard about the Mega Man Zero series, which was the only series of Mega Man platformers on a platform I own (the GBA). Jump forward a few years, I say Mega Man Zero 3 sitting in a bargain bin in Wal-Mart for $20, I picked it up, bought it, then went and played it. At first I thought the game was to difficult, and that I would never be able to finish it. Yes, the game is difficult, but once you get used to the gameplay, the difficulty seams to disappear. The levels seem very balanced between the insanely hard and passable platforms. The graphics on the GBA are good, and compared to some games, they could be considered great, but we all can think of 1 or 2 games that can surpass this game in the graphics department. The sound is good, at least the parts I listen to. This game is great for everyone, but it is especially choice for fans of Mega Man and fans of platformers.
