Game Review: Rockman X7 / Rockman X8

6 years after the release of these 2 games, I finally have a chance to play these 2 games. As a big Rockman fan, why must I wait until this moment to play?

I remembered the last time I ever played Rockman X5 and Rockman X6 was when I was Secondary 1 and 2! And I had to go to either Derek's or Rong Teng's house to play... So at that time, I felt so pathetic when I didn't own any Playstation Consoles...

Now, I have finally got links for me to get the games to play on my laptop! Wahahaha! I don't care even it has any malware on it. I just need to play it!!! I played Rockman X7 during mugging period and Rockman X8 after my exams.

Rockman X7 discarded the old 2D platform style and changed to both 2D/3D playing style. This had created many criticisms from the fans because of the bad controls of the 3D play style. Well, I also found it quite bad because I fell into many pitholes due to the incorrect judgement of my jump, and led to parallex error... Rockman X8 reverted back into 2D platform but with nicer 3D graphics. This game had won back most of the fans' hearts, but still not as good as the X4-X6.

I personally like X8 very much, because the story was nice, and the game became very easy to play once to get the hang of it. I even completed the whole game in less than one week! I replayed the whole game in the same difficulty (which is Normal) in one afternoon! However, being the last game of the series, the whole ending to this series is a bit too abrupt. The series taking over Rockman X is Rockman Zero, the story go all the way to 200 years later after the end of x8. The main character is Zero, but no matter how you at him, he still does not resemble the Zero in Rockman X from any angle! Haha.

I have mentioned so much about X8, but not X7, because till now, I have not even completed the whole of X7!!! Not even once... Because I always get stuck on the last boss... Plus, the controls are really suck on keyboards because you cannot press so many keys on the same time... Same goes for X8, but because it is 2D so it became much more easier. But anyway, Rockman games are still the best!!!
