Mega Man is an action oriented platforming game. Mega Man jumps and runs through levels while shooting down enemies with his arm cannon. Once Mega Man defeats a boss, he gains another type or arm cannon weapon. Certain weapons are more effective against certain bosses, while other weapons do little damage. The beauty of Mega Man games is that you can complete the game in any order you wish. One may decide to defeat Iceman then use his special power to go on and beat Fireman. Mega Man boasts some excellent graphics and audio. The controls are mostly excellent, but there are some collision detection issues at certain points in the game.

Score - 8.1

It's a classic!
