Game Info
Mega Man X7 is the first Mega Man game to be released for the Playstation 2. Now, players have the ability to roam about a 3D world and blast mechaniloids. There are other modes where you can switch to 2D gameplay, but the game is completely rendered in 3D. As they used in Auto Modellista and EXE Transmission, Mega Man X7 employs Capcom\'s cel shading rendering to give the characters a distinctively anime look amidst the 3D world.
Players are treated to three playable characters: X, Zero, and Axl. It is as of yet unexplained how Zero returns to the story, given the events that transpired at the end of Mega Man X6. Axl is a new Reploid whose main weapon is a super-charged handgun. He also can hover in the air and is capable of transforming into certain enemies for periods of time. Axl is a Reploid who defected from the Red Alert Syndicate. The Red Alert Syndicate is the nemesis in this game and what X, Zero, and Axl are all fighting against.
Because players have three characters at their disposal, Capcom has made it possible to switch between them at any point during a level. However, the player may only choose two of the three characters to take into battle. Additionally, the game is said to support a two-player simultaneous cooperative mode in what Capcom calls the \"Double Hero System.\" However, Capcom has not stressed this feature in its more recent announcements, leading us to question if it was either a misinterpretation of the aforementioned character switching feature or if it has been removed from the game.
This game is going to be so awsome! If it doesn\'t come out for Gamecube, I\'ll have to save up for a PS2 I suppose. Not to mention, a Memory Card, other games I may want ect.
Enough about me, have you guys seen some of the new Mavericks? They look...werid. If you ask me, Capcom is running out of ideas for animals to make into Mavericks. Anyways, here they are:
What the hell is that suppose to be?!
It looks like a warthog...
It\'s a Crow! Caw Caw!
Uhhh...what the hell? A Sea Monkey?
It\'s either a cougar or a panther. Pretty cool.
A Kangaroo...it even has a little baby...that\'s just great. You\'re going to fight a mother and it\'s baby. Capcom, you make me sick.
...a Gorrila Viking...okay, who smoked what?
A pumpkin. First we\'re fighting Mavericks that are animal like, now we\'ll be fighting off Mavericks that look like food.:rolleyes:
This is a joey, aka a baby kangaroo. Looks like the mother taught it\'s son a few fighting techniques.:rolleyes:
