I see people bashing this game on other sites, saying the Mega Man series started to go downhill with the start of this game. Frankly, I'd say the downhill started with 5. Despite the fact that most of the robot bosses of this game are mostly rehashes from the former 3 games, there are some certain charms to this game. For example, this is the first Mega Man game where you can charge your Mega Buster, in which your arm cannon shoots out a devastating blow with much more power than the simple white "pellets." The levels in this game are a little bit longer than MM4's predecessors, and have increased in challenge in comparison. Another feature that was also introduced are hidden items you can unexpectedly find in Pharaoh Man and Dive Man's stages. Also, as far as graphics and sound go, this game's great.
