The only X series game I haven\'t played yet is X4 but I have to say that despite their flaws, X5 and X6 came out as really interesting with everything up to X6 showing the world what the X series can do if in the right hands.

Then whoever wrote the X7 and X8 scripts comes along and created disasters whilst chugging paint thinner. X7 was mediocre with a helping of character assassination for X and general unmemorability and X8, despite having better gameplay (just), the script and plot were a joke IE: Sigma\'s telephone call, more character assassination, this time for Zero and Vile. Add in a truly awful cypher in the shape of Lumine just drags it all down.

Haven\'t completed CM but the only new character who gets my eye is Massimo, I like to see him in another X series game but I don\'t think that\'s going to happen, neither would the ultimate comeback of Dr. Wily or whether or not X and Alia get together because people don\'t care. This annoys me a lot.

Axl is rubbish, we all know this. Why is he still here? Carnivac should really slap him silly for his pseudo-badass attitude that convinces no one but his (Axl\'s) blinkered fans.

Okay first off it was nice to see Vile back second X8\'s story wasn\'t that bad I mean they were definetly Stoned with X7 but X8 turned out okay lastly Axl wasn\'t a horrible idea they just needed a better edge. (plus I never could have beaten Botos without him)

If you compared Vile\'s X8 appearance to his appearances in X1 and X3, it really stinks of character assassination and pointless fanw*nk. He might as well being Dynamo in disguise for all I care. Vile is supposed to be a psychopath gunning for X, not Sigma\'s boyscout.

As for Lumine, maybe he\'s better than Gate, Dr. Doppler, Berkana, the X Hunters and Colonel all put together? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Good one me. His grand plan seems to be: \"Make a run for the bad guy\'s throne when X and Zero give Sigma his normal, everyday kicking whilst talking complete rubbish\". He just comes across as an ungrateful, big headed dork.

You know talking to yourself is a syptom you\'re insane. And Lumine had an okay appearance and if we\'re lucky if X9 ever comes no more sigma

Sigma will be in the numbered X games for all time.
And insanity does not exist actually, read Wind\'s \'Time and Tangibility Revived\' thread.

Has the good Doctor played X7? X7 is complete and utter pants, an insult to everything the X series stands for! The war criminals responsible must be shot!

That\'s his opinion Manchester, he\'s entitled to one.

I haven\'t touched X7, but from what I heard, it might very well be the worst one... However, I can\'t say that until I\'ve had a chance to play it myself!

I personally liked X7 I thought it gave a new 3d demention to the X series as well as the voice acting.But I did not like Axl\'s voice I thought it sounded gay

Vroom, Vroooom.
I'll update this later.

I heard a rumor Michael Jackson did it, *joke* X7 was sort of fun in a way but the bosses sucked honestly the only good ones were Soldier Stonekong and Red.

Well, the bosses are only going to get worse because they have done megaman for so many years that they are probably running low on ideas (Optic sunflower, what the heck?!?!)

To each his own. But me being a rabid X8 fan I still have to insult your intelligence for it.

So, yeah. Yer dumb. XD

Spoiler (click to toggle)

O_o They didn\'t get rid of Sigma in X8. He\'s there.

Now, I think I\'ll do something like Black Dranzer did...

X1- Awesome. It was the first game and it really rocked for a premier.

X2- Not a big fan. I don\'t hate it, but I don\'t love it, either.

X3- Way awesome! I love how you can shoot twice to make one really powerful spreading attack, and eventually...

Spoiler (click to toggle)

X can get Zero\'s sabre if you know what to do. ;D

X4- Okay. I put it up with X2 but I do like this one a bit. After all, it finally introduced Zero as a main completely-controllable character, and he was finally using the Sabre as his main weapon! This is what I loved most about the game, since now you could not only blast your enemies into oblivion, but slash and hack them into tiny peices as well! I just love how Zero swings his sabre in midair.

X5- One of my favorite games, actually. A big step-up from X4 in that you weren\'t stuck with one character through the entire game. True, you didn\'t have instant switching like Xtreme2 or the X7+beyond games, it was still a nice addition to be able to pick one character or the other for different levels. I also liked the storyline. You had to really try your best in each stage because any second the colony was gonna come crashing down! So, yes. X5 = definitely a personal favorite.

X6- I hate this game... I hate it with a passion. The only thing saving this game from being sold off or just plain hacked up with an axe is the fact that it\'s a MEGAMAN game, period. And my personal motto is \"ANY MegaMan game is worth keeping.\". They\'re just that much better than most other games. XD

X7- I actually liked this game, considering all the bad reviews. Zero sucked like god knows what in this game, but X on the other hand totally PWN\'d. The music was REALLY catchy, (The Tunnel Base tune is one of my top favorites.) and the whole climbing-walls in 3-dimensional space didn\'t get as botched up as I thought it would. Shame that you don\'t really use it as much as you did in the previous games.

X8- GENIUS... PURE GENIUS. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. X8 returned us to platforming style, but gave us all the cutting-edge look of a 3-D game without botching it up too badly. The mavericks were awesome, (Pandamonium was HUGE!) and Zero could get radical new weapons to fight with!

(KAISER KNUCKLE!!! >8D)

This game should be on your Christmas list if you don\'t have it allready. And that is my honest opinion.

Ee, err, whoops! Heheh, fixed up some stuff...

Though, I don\'t see why that first one needs to be a spoiler...

After all, you KNOW Sigma\'s always gonna be the cause of anything that EVER goes wrong in the X-series... He\'s as cliche as Dr. Wily!!!

I think about X6 was as good as it got. When X7 hit the shelves and I heard that it was in 3D, I about cried! Where has my 2D gone!?

I still want to know how anyone could believe X4 to be the \"best\" one in the series. X1 was the best, hands down. They shouldn\'t have made any sequels, but this IS Capcom we\'re talking about here.

Things I like about X4 over X1:

- Better music
- Better stages
- Two playable characters
- More plot elements

I found X1 rather dull all around. Nothing really stands out. The whole game is not bad, really, but it\'s... flat.

These are all my opinion, of course. Feel free to disagree.

I think this mechanic was lost in the 32 bit games, but I liked the feel of inertia that was present in the first three...For instance, in Armored Armadillos\' stage, jumping off of the cart at the beginning while it was in motion would send you FLYING straight forward!
