Mega Man X7

From an audio-visual standpoint, Mega Man X7 is a good looking game that definitely takes advantage of the PS2's processing power. The new approach marks a nice change of pace, and does an excellent job of bringing Mega Man into robust 3D environments. The levels themselves are nicely designed with colorful backgrounds, smooth animations and challenging layouts that make for a solid game. While the 3D stages are the main attraction, Capcom's use of polygonal graphics in the 2D areas is impressive, lending these stages added depth and realism. The game's darker feel is only enhanced by the elaborate cinematic sequences, which bring the plot to life without feeling obtrusive. While the voice-overs, special effects and soundtrack are nicely done, they don't really add much to the experience.

Mega Man X7 is the seventh in the Mega Man X series, and the first on PlayStation 2. The game brought a return to FMV sequences, yet introduced the X series to 3D graphics. It got some outcry since it deviated from the traditional 2D flow of Mega Man.

Mega Man X7 has the same things included in the most recent games and delivers a few new additions. X7 includes a new playable character named Axl, meaning that you can select two characters in every mission. Zero will ... be able to gain new blades to fight with.

Mega Man X7 gets incredibly difficult at points and the camera system problems don't help which makes things more frustrating than they could have been. However, players can use the auto-targeting system and special weapons to compensate for these problems. The game's non-linear level design ... eases the frustration, but this is still no walk in the park. From a technical standpoint, Mega Man X7 represents a solid step forward for the series. The 3D levels don't work as well as it could have, but the new twists and approach is definitely welcome news for a franchise that's seemed to be a bit long in the tooth over the past few years. Capcom deserves credit for taking the series forward, despite some stumbles.

Mega Man X7 takes Mega Man X over to a whole new platform, PlayStation 2. The new sounds and gameplay are exactly the same with once difference, you can play with three characters and you can play some parts of the game in 3D. The game ... includes a new armor for X and eight brand new Mavericks to fight. Another new component in the game is that each character has an English voice actor. As in X6, you are able to save wounded reploids spread out in the stages. If you save them, they can give you Power-Up Parts (2 in each stage), they can upgrade your life energy and weapon energy, and they can also give extra lives.
