    This game may be hard, but most people should still be able to enjoy this game, even if you don't get very far.

    One thing that the Megaman series is famous for, other than being an overall great series, is the difficulty of their games. A lot of their games, mainly the earlier ones, are no walk in the park. This is something you s... Read Full Review
