This game is a TRAINWRECK and I'm about to tell you why I feel so disgusted by the mere mention of this game at times.

The only positives I really have for this game are that the music is actually pretty good a lot of stage themes are enjoyable and I like that as a touch. The other positive is the speed run potential this game certainly has even if it is bad.

Now here is my issue with the game.
It came out after something like x6 which is actually a decent game and something I enjoy playing through every now and then.
But x7 starts off bad by having the worst cast of bosses outside of maybe one who I feel was somewhat passable.
On top of that this games voice acting is insanely bad. The thing that makes the voice acting bad is the lack of direction and emotion that every other mega man with voice acting did right.

The stages are some of the easiest things I have played in the series to the point I did a no damage run of all of them by this point.

But the worst thing is that the story gets thrown out the window from x6. Its so bad that I could spoil it in 2 words.
Gang war. Because that's what happens with the crew when they meet the new guy Axl. In a sense that is.

The graphics weren't the worst I have seen on the ps2 but not the best either.

3/10.
A game so bad it sucked the fun and creativity out of reviewing it.

Question: was this the game with the flaming hyena? If so, I'd personally deduct 3 or 4 points from the sound department.
Honestly I'd pass those points to the difficulty department, because let's face it, not everyone here is a megaman demigod, but that's my take on it.

Mecha Leo : yes it is.

but even so the game has lock-on in 2d sections which just kills one of the points in the series.

flame hyenard is bad due to poor sound and audio coding. that being said for what little I can say of this game ive played much worse
