Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine GG Review   Mega Mewtwo X
Robotnik never gives up,does he? Anyway, Robotnik has captured the beans from Puyo Puyo and he's going to turn them into robots! It's up to you to beat Robotnik's minions and Robotnik himself and free the beans! There are 12 stages not counting Robotnik himself and the music changes when you hit stage 9,it goes from nice and slow to fast-paced and upbeat. The stages are each of Robotnik's robots from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog,and they get more and more difficult with each passing stage. Most people have rage quited from the difficulty of the game,hence the difficulty being rated 9. However,despite the difficulty blasting through the roof,this game is HIGHLY addicting and ergo,it deserves a 7! The depth is horrible,with there only being 13 stages counting Dr Robotnik,so I gave depth a 2. The graphics are okay,but they're not the best,so I gave them a 7. The story (as shown up above is okay and it give you background on the game,but it's REALLY short and so,I gave it a 3. The sound doesn't cackle or anything like that,but it could sound better,so I gave it a 7Taking into account everything I just said I'll give the game an 8.1,it's enjoyable,but not the one you would only play for the rest of your life. This is Mega Mewtwo X, and goodbye.

dr.r's mean bean machine   halopro3
Ah yes Dr. Robotnik's mean bean machine? I remember this game from the sonic mega collection for the ps2 it had both the game gear and the Sega genesis version of the game anyway lets get on with the review! The plot is that Dr. Robotnik is tired of the people of beanville having fun so he made this machine called the mean bean machine to turn the beans into his robot servants to serve his evil purposes there's 4 modes on this game (one of them requires a second player) they are as followed : scenario mode, gear to gear mode, exercise mode, and puzzle mode, they all play the exact same way but the scenario mode is the main attraction to this game because you can take on Dr. Robotniks robots and finally the doctor himself. The stages get faster and faster as you progress it begins to pick up at stage 5. Puzzle mode is this manual thing where you do what the words want you to do exercise mode only exists for you to practice building combos gear to gear mode lets 2 players connected between 2 game gears play head to head (in the ps2 version you only need two controllers) the Sega genesis version doesn't have the puzzle mode. The idea of the game is to  match 4 beans if you can get a combo going with 4 beans releasing other beans these things called bad beans come and block your opponents beans if you or your opponent's dungeons get full you lose
