Editorial Review:
The evil Sigma had started a war of fury on Earth in an attempt to annihilate the human race. Mega Man X8 begins after the fall out of this battle, which left the planet in shambles, and forced humans to look for a new home. In an effort to rebuild, a new generation of robot Reploids was built by the earths people in order to ready the moon for colonization. This new group possessed advanced capabilities, including the ability to copy other Reploids. Unfortunately, Sigma had corrupted t

Rating: - The revival of the franchise? A step in the right direction, but not quite there.
Keiji Inafune himself said in a 2005 gamespy interview that he was only involved in the X series until X4, claiming that afterward "Other people took direction of the series." I seem to recall hearing something about some of the team members who worked on X1-X4 coming back for X8, an occasion would not be the least bit surprising. Labeled by some as the revival of the franchise, Mega Man X8 is undoubtedly a huge upgrade from X5-X7 that should be well received by most fans. Unfortunately, it also ... Read More
Rating:  - Impressive Designing.
Although it is clear that some graphics were re-used, and several actions lag and maybe seem a bit choppy, the visuals were amazing. On the contrary to most peoples' opinion, I actually feel that the English voice acting (though inadequate) was refreshingly clear and loud, and put you on edge: It raised the pitch of urgency for me.
As for the new design on the boot modules, armor, etc... (the entire bodyframe of the reploid), I was utterly impressed. As an experienced fan of the Rockman ... Read More
Rating: - A step up from X7
While I do enjoy playing X7, I find myself playing this one more. I think the main reason is X8 doesn't really rely on 3-D all that much. X7 got a little annoying, but the Mavericks were cool. This one, I just find the whole game awesome. Awesome levels, awesome power-ups (I mean come on, you can buy the blade that Sigma uses after beating the game once), awesome Mavericks, and a really cool storyline. Since X7 was the "test-subject" of the new age of Megaman, it had a few flaws. This game noticed ... Read More
Rating:  - Fun but yeah it isnt perfect.
I got this game for christmas 2004 and loved it but I should have got X7. X7 looks better and is better than this. I still like this game but I wanna get x7.
Pros: Back to the roots, sweet dauble team attacks, sweet power ups.
Cons: They haven't put Bass (my fav Megaman character of all time) in the X series, frustrating at times, hard boss battles, mediorce voice acting (english ones), graphics arent good as X7.
Graphics: 7/10: Well, of course, x7 looked better. ... Read More
Rating: - Same formula with some interesting changes
In broad strokes, this Mega Man X game is like all the others. You have a first level that indicates a problem, then 8 bosses with accompanying stages, and finally, two or three stages with bosses until a final showdown. As usual there are some good songs/music, background graphics, and boss challenges that make the Mega Man series the success that they are.
What is different is that you can pick two Maverick Hunters to go into each stage, just like in 7, however this is relatively ... Read More
