Summary: Can't beat it for the price.
Comment: If you are even mildly interested in video games and a psp owned I would definitely recommend snagging this game. It isn't too difficult considering it's a megaman title.
Graphics - Decent for a handheld. 3d characters with 2d gameplay, looks pretty sick.
Gameplay - Feels right at home in the platformer genre. Controls are tight. You just feel like a badass tearing through all the levels.
Sound - Each level has its own techno score. I personally dig the music.
Story - Unless you're a megaman buff, you'll probably be lost. You can at least enjoy the anime cutscenes though.

Bottom line - It's cheap, it's fun, and has a great amount of replay value. Playing as vile is awesome.

Summary: Time for some fun with X, Zero, and... Vile?
Comment: This game is a really good remake of the very first Mega Man X game, with an extra treat - Vile mode!

However, some of the armor capsules were moved to make things more interesting, and it tends to up the difficulty a little bit, which is not a bad thing. The biggest update to the game is the inclusion of Vile mode, which allows the player to take control of X's long time rival and borderline maverick, Vile (hence the name). Oddly enough, a Zero mode was not included. All in game dialogue is done with voice actors, which is a nice touch, and if you've played X8 or Command Mission, you'll recognize many of them.

X controls nearly exactly the same way he did in the first game, though it seems harder to obtain the hadouken in this version - I kept hitting the birds, making me retry the section more than seemed reasonable.

Possibly my favorite part is Vile mode. At first, the difficulty feels extremely high, but by the end of the game, Vile seems overpowered (which is not a bad thing!). Vile does not receive upgrade capsules the way X does. Instead, he gets a speed upgrade and an armor upgrade by defeating two particular bosses. The difficulty level really seems to drop after the speed upgrade is acquired. Vile also must choose three weapons to take into a mission before he begins, and cannot change these until he returns to base. There are three weapon classes: Hand, Shoulder, and Knee, each of which have around fifteen variants, so you can customize Vile to your liking and play style. There's only one downside to Vile mode - it's a little short. On normal difficulty, the final battle falls just short of epic, due to Vile being slightly overpowered. All the upgrades are scattered around yet some more from X mode, making it more fun and rewarding to go exploring. Vile also has his own stage music, which plays during almost every single level. It's a nice, aggressive tune, which fits Vile's personality perfectly and doesn't get old too quickly.

Summary: MegaMan X (1) Remake... A decent one too.
Comment: Obviously a remake of the 1993 SNES Megaman X game. Stays loyal to the original game, but is different enough not to be boring (by far). Remixed music, MUCH better graphics work and the enemy characters now have voice acting.

Worth the money, I think.

Summary: Review? From Me? Well, If You Insist...
Comment: Let's just try to keep this short...

I went into this not entirely knowing what to expect, but perhaps figuring something between a port and a full-out remake. Basically, it remains the same game - but having played the original SNES version since not long after it came out, I can tell you it doesn't feel exactly the same. Not in a bad way, don't get me wrong, just different. Vile Mode especially is like a whole new experience, compared to the SNES version. I didn't find it terribly difficult to pick up on, at least X Mode Normal Difficulty. Beyond that, as can be expected, it gets harder, especially (for me, anyway) Vile mode. If you're a fan of the original Mega Man X SNES game, I think you'll be in for a real treat. It may have differences, but I can promise you it won't take long to adjust. And you're in for a wild ride, on X Mode Hard Difficulty...heh.

Note: Just don't mind the voice acting. That was probably the biggest let down in this game, for me. It's not terrible, it's just... Personally, it's just not really what I had imagined - especially for Launch Octopus.
