However, X5 has to be a candidate for having the best soundtrack out of any Mega Man game.
#MEGAMAN X5 REVIEW SERIES#
Particularly once the PS1 era of the series came into effect and the sound quality was improved, games like Mega Man X4 and X5 utilized the new technology to create more vivid atmospheres and more detailed compositions. Then there's the Frost Walrus theme in Mega Man X4 which sounds as icy and cold as the name of the aforementioned boss.īasically, the charm of the Mega Man soundtracks is that they effectively combine high-speed intensity with a real sense of atmosphere. Wily's HQ, despite the high tempo and power metal-esque vibe. The fortress theme from Mega Man 2 is still a highly melodic and reflective listen as you're heading to Dr. It should be no wonder that the music certainly played a big role in these games as well, not just from a "heart-pumping battle theme" standpoint, but even an emotional standpoint as well. Now between Battle Network, Zero, Star Force, and a whole slew of other spin-offs, the Mega Man franchise has gone out of control in terms of products however, let's remember where the series came from: fun, side-scrolling action.

While developer Capcom have been ridiculed time and time again for milking their franchises for a quick buck, the sales prove that many gamers wanted more of the same from each series and subseries. The early Mega Man games have garnered a reputation over the years as some of the most beloved and most addicting 2D action games of their eras, particularly the first five or so games in the original series and (arguably) the first five or so X games. Review Summary: A wonderful soundtrack, whether you're a fan of Mega Man or not.
