Quick & Dirty #1 – Mega Man 9

What?  You were expecting a new game?  I told you how lazy I am.  Actually, the boss-man Flakes told me to go in order of release date, so you can blame him.  Here we go!

Mega Man 9

Teh Good

- This is the Mega Man you remember from childhood (NES glitches included)

- When you complete a stage you feel a true sense of achievement

- It’s only $10!

Teh Bad

- This game is controller-breakingly hard

- CAPCOM is selling different difficulties and bonuses separately

- #*@%! Why is this game so fraking HARD?!? AAAARGH!!!

Teh Verdict

Mega Man done right. The sound, design and level structure all remind me when I was a kid. They also show me how babied gamers are nowadays in terms of difficulty. This is a game that I pick up, play for a level or two and then put down for a couple weeks because it makes me so angry (in a challenging way, not due to poor design). So worth the $10.
