Capcom tried this year to do a side game to the X series, similar to what happened last year with the Battle Network series and Mega Man Network Transmission. This time, we get an RPG instead of an action game (it was the opposite with Network Transmission!).

Since a few months went by since the game\'s release, and many people had time to play through it, what is your opinion?

On my end, I\'m really surprised at how good that game is. I was skeptical at first, but I was quickly drawn in to the game. It feels like a real X game, even if it\'s a RPG. The plot is really nice, with some unexpected twists coming out of nowhere and a whole story with much less plot holes than we\'re used to with the X series. The battle system is a lot of fun (I like turn-based systems) and is pretty deep with a lot of options. I like how it\'s possible to do some actions (like switching to Hyper Mode, analysing enemies or changing of character) without losing a turn. That\'s one thing I hate about many other games. The graphics overall are really pretty, with some great cutscenes. The style works well for a series that started in 2D, just like I think that the Wind Waker graphics fitted the best with the older Zelda games. I especially like the whole soundtrack. From happy tunes to level themes, going by the various battle themes, it\'s so fun to listen to!

If I had to talk about some more negative points, well...

Spoiler (click to toggle)
Whatever happened to Signas, Alia, Douglas and the others? I understand that Redips was needed as the chief hunter for the plot; and that Nana was the operator since she lives in Giga City and knows the place around. Still, I would have liked to see the others coming in at least for a cameo, perhaps during the ending. Also, Dr. Light apparently didn\'t leave any capsules behind this time around...


I just reached the end of the game (defeated the final boss and watched the ending), and yet it seems like I have a lot left to do. Gotta complete that sound test, so I can listen to more of the songs!

Overall, I would say I\'m shocked that the game ended up being this good. I wouldn\'t mind at all a sequel, but I\'m not sure if it would live up to this game. Mega Man X: Command Mission definitely has a spot within my three favorite games of the year.

Any other opinions? And as usual, mark your spoilers. :P

I thought that Command Mission was rather disappointing myself. I\'m not going to go out and completely bash the game, because I do like it, and it was a good start. I do wish that Capcom will make a sequel, because it\'s a decent game that could could have a promising future with a series. I did however, feel there was much room for improvement.

The Battle system was quite good, I honestly don\'t have any complaints there. I like how the bottom displays the attacking order so you can plan the order of who you\'ll attack, and the sub weapon and weapon energy system actually works quite well.

Like what Doc said, I wish the regular X series cast such as Signas and Alia would have shown up. Instead of actually getting the feel that the game was an RPG set in the Megaman X world, it felt like it was an RPG starring some of the characters of the series. Don\'t get me wrong, it\'s not the worst thing out there. Just, I wish the game would have felt like it took place along with the X series more.

I found the story to be disappointing myself. It\'s not the plot itself that bothers me actually, rather it\'s the characters. The characters from the X series appearing in it seem to act differently than usual, and most of the new characters were flat and undeveloped. I think Massimo had the most interesting history out of the characters in the game, but sadly, you never see it really get developed. No characters in the game really get developed, and it made the characters in the game rather uninteresting to me.

Spoiler (click to toggle)
I do like how you fight the bosses again at the end. That was a cool homage to the X series.


All in all, I think the game was mediocre. It\'s not a bad game, but there\'s alot of issues I found disappointing. Am I disappointed I played it? Not at all. I think it\'s a promising start for an RPG series if Capcom wishes to do sequels.

Oh, and one last complaint, and this isn\'t just about this game. Like BoF Dragon Quarter, Command Mission only really has one town/city/village. Capcom really needs to learn to not to that in the future. I miss the days when RPGs had world maps and forced you to walk all over the world map.. some might find it annoying to do as such, but you really get a better feel for the world the heroes live in with it. And then everything wasn\'t just story, fight, story fight. There was more room for discovering things with the world map..

I would have toagree with Dr. C. It was nice to have a change of scenery with the RPG style of the X series. I was kinda hoping that the MMX:CM would be a turn-based battle system. (I\'m really good at those.:) ) But on the other hand, I would have to agree with Necro with

Other than that, I really liked the game. It was really worth buying. (In my eyes)

I though it was a great game, with an extremely addictive battle system. I really like the voice actors in this one. They were so good, they were used again in MMX8, which kind of suprises me. A very unexpected twist to the MMX series; an RPG. It makes you think if they\'ll make a Classic Mega Man RPG or a MMBN RPG with the same battle system as MMXCM. Anything\'s possible. I know I\'ll certainly look forward to a sequel MMXCM! :D

Some things that I didn\'t like so much about the game...

Spoiler (click to toggle)
The game has many unexpected twists, such as the betrayal of Redips which leads you to say...\"Well....this game is kind of pointless.\" I saw it coming though, I knew Redips was going to be ending up being one of the bosses because I fought the Redips Guards at Gaudile\'s Lab. Makes you think, \"Why would I be fighting these guys? Aren\'t they the good guys?\" Also, it doesn\'t make sense how Spider AKA Redips self-destructs himself at the hands of Incentas to save X and Zero, yet he still comes back later. I had a feeling he\'d be back too. And how did Spider get all the way to the Hunter Base (to communicate to X as Redips) and back without the other\'s knowing? Now, here is a list of ranting questions:

> Where\'s Signas, Alia, and the others?
> What\'s with X\'s new get-up? Is it actually suppose to make him look like an RPG character?
> Why can you still buy weapons for Spider even when he\'s \"dead\"
> Where\'s all of Dr. Light\'s capsules go? Don\'t tell me X finally found them all...
>How did Redips become assume leadership? Did Signas retire/ die?
> Were Epsilon and his flunkies really worth the effort of defeating them?
> Who the heck is Ninetails and Rafflesian?!
> I\'m suprised there is no trace or reference of Sigma in this game...would you beat me over the head if I said I miss him and wanted him somewhere in the game, at least as an optional boss?
> Isn\'t 100 years later from 21XX Mega Man Zero time? How does CM fit in?
> More of an X Series in general question but exactly, how many Reploids were made and since when do they all come in different shapes and sizes and even in most cases species?
> Are there really Ultimate Weapons for each character in the game?
> Since when did Zero get an armor like Absoulte Zero?
> How can X find his Ultimate Armor in a simple Crystal pick-up? Isn\'t this where Dr. Light should come in?


....I could go on forever....


PS: Botos is easier then shotting dead fish in a barrel, I didn\'t even need Hyper Mode! :P

It\'s a cute, short game. I wouldn\'t run out and buy it but I also wouldn\'t pass it up if given a chance to play it.

The plot is extremely weak. Very disappointing, but I guess I seen worse... Something that might have saved it could have been character development. We might not need additional info about X and Zero but Cinnamon, Marino, Spider, and Massimo are very flat characters. Attachment to characters is very important in games because who wants to play as Generic Joe? Axl\'s \"mission\" in this game could have been easily folded out as a side quest or something and would have helped out his development too.

The battle system is very nice. I really liked it. The thing that I would have liked to see would have been a different way of choosing attacks. Capcom could have copied the idea of Final Fantasy 7\'s materia magic system. The force metals could have acted in that way than just being stat and status bonuses.

The graphics and sound is good. The only last thing I wanted to point out were the many, many, many, invisible and visible walls. It seemed so claustrophobic. Also, as others said, it just felt like there was only one town. It would have been better if the areas were spread out and the player had to travel to the next area by foot or some kind of vehicle...

Overall, it was a nice try and I had some fun. I hope Capcom tries again.

Oh! I forgot. Who felt like on the ending, someone from Megaman Legends was going to appear out of nowhere? I was saying \"This looks familiar...\".

Additional thoughts, I reeeeealy don\'t like the ending theme. It was totally out of place and creepy. ;;;^^ Disappointing that this game gets a terrible song while X8 didn\'t get any. Well hum. I gotta say X8\'s non-lyrical music was better than this \"Pieces\" song... I wish they would get some English songs...

I love this game. However, it was pretty easy. Even Ninetails died quickly. Sure, maybe I did unleash a barrage of Nova Strikes and Calamituous Arts for 20k a turn, but it was still really easy.

I think that it is a very good game(still haven\'t finished it).
When I was in the shop I couldn\'t decide between MMZ2 or Command Mission.
I didn\'t want to risk somebody else buying one of them which would mean more hunting them down. So I borrowed money and had both.

I got stuck at certain points but what\'s a game without difficulty. Currently i\'m levelling up before I wail on Botos.

This game has depth and a good story and is true to MegaMan *cries while waving MegaMan banner*

Spider PWNed, and after seeing the theater where Botos dies, I knew he was coming back.
I still like the classic Greek letter names, like Epsilon. That is a greek letter, and so isn\'t Sigma.

I\'ve beat the game three times, and now continue to beat it over and over again with Monopoly equiped to someone. I\'m still around Lv. 50!

Nine Tails took forever! Rafflesian was hard, but I love her in Axl\'s DNA Change. Same with Nine Tails. I got ALL the videos and songs, but I have yet to fill my FMG library! And I think i\'m missing a few sketches. I know I need alot more figures. Redips\' Final Form PWNED! Big cool dragon with huge claws, what could be cooler? Absolute Zero is my favorite Hyper Mode!


Overall, I\'m pretty impressed with this game. I love the battle system! Just like Dr. Cassock said, its cool that you don\'t waste turns switching characters and launching Hyper Mode. I have no complaints.

Well, I DO hate the fact that someone as cool as Spider had to be the bad guy...


I could go on and on, but I\'ll spare you the time!
