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.
