Mega Man 5 is one of the best Nintendo Entertainment Mega Man games out there. Here is a review I have done on this great game. Story: 9 Mega Man 5's story line from the intro of the game and from the games manual. Proto Man appears to have gone haywire. Proto Man has sent 8 robots after his brother Mega Man. Dr. Light is even kidnapped by what looks like Proto Man. Dr. Cossack who is now an assistant of Dr. Light’s gives Mega Man a new buster so he can solve this mystery. Mega Man wonders why is his brother doing this and is it really Proto Man. The story of Mega Man 5 was very good and better than Mega Man 4’s story. The story really makes the player think that one of the good guys has turned bad. It is the type of plot that has mystery to it and it is like the player has to solve this mystery. It was very creative on Capcom’s part to come up with a story like this where there is suspense, mystery and drama within a game. How many Mega Man games have that type of plot this is the only one I can think of. Graphics: 10 Mega Man 5 had some of the best graphics of all Nintendo Entertainment System Mega Man games. The way the palm trees move in Napalm’s man stage is a nice touch. In fact, it reminded me of Super Mario Brothers 3 which had very good graphics. The way the crystal’s shine in Crystal Man’s stage is a nice touch as well. Stone Man’s mountain background makes the player think they are going into a mountain. Also how Mega Man flashes when he is charging his buster is very good. Mega Man in this game gets a powerful buster shot fully charged. That was a step up from Mega Man 4 were the buster was a slim stream. Now it is a very powerful blast. Also compared to Mega Man 4 the graphics of him charging his shots looked like it was missing something, but in this game Capcom did it perfectly. The controls are nice too no were in this game does Mega Man feel sluggish. The springs are really good too. In addition, no were in this game does the game seem like it lags for me. It is hard to believe that this was an 8 bit game sometimes it felt like it was 16 bit. It has been speculated that Mega Man 5 was supposed to be for the SNES. Music/sound: 10 What can I say this game had some of the best Music in Mega Man games well maybe second best if you include Mega Man 7? The sound track is awesome Napalm’s man stage music is one of my favorites. Stone man’s tune I like as well as Crystal Man’s stage theme. In fact, not one stage has bad music in this game. The fortress stages even have nice rocking tunes. I also like the way Mega Man sounds when he is charging his buster. The player can see and gets the feeling that Mega Man is consuming powerful energy. Also the way the enemies make their sounds lets the player know their attacks are serious. Especially the robot masters and bomb enemies have very good sounds. Capcom made sure that this game had very good music. A lot of Mega Man games have good music but then there are some that have very good music such as Mega Man 7, Mega Man V, Mega Man 5, Mega Man IV and Mega Man 3. Additiveness and Depth:9 Mega Man 5 is a very fun game to play. The story and plot really adds replay value to this game. Also the sound tracks add replay value. This is game is in my top 5 of Mega Man games that I go back and play over again. The Depth of this game is typical of Mega Man games that consist of several stages but it is slightly better. Unlike other Mega Man games the player has to collect letters in this game. Mega Man 1-4 did not have that. So to get the secret weapon that Dr. Cossack made for Mega Man the player has to collect all the letters. The letters are hidden so revisiting stages is a must to complete this game. The only other Mega Man game that the player has to collect letters in is Mega Man IV (Game Boy) Mega Man 6 and Mega Man 7. How Capcom did it were every stage has a letter only rivals two other games Mega Man 7 and Mega Man IV for Game Boy. Mega Man 5 is longer and takes a while to beat unlike other Mega Man games such as Mega Man 2 that are shorter. Difficulty:8 Mega Man 5 does have some hard spots in the game. The stages have difficult spots in them. The robot masters are not too bad compared to other Mega Man games. Considering that the powerful buster can do as much damage as special weapons to the bosses brings the difficulty rating down a little bit. However, the fortress stages can be difficult so that is what keeps the rating decent. Not to mention, that collecting the letters also adds difficulty because it takes skill to get some a few of them. Also the enemy placement in this game is above average. Sometimes it is so easy to get bombarded with enemies and having to shoot it out. A few stages have enemies that just want to hit you and knock you into the pits or spikes. So Mega Man 5 is no easy game. But it’s the type of difficulty that is challenging and that I like; it requires skills and creativity. Overall: 9.6 What can I say I love this game it is one of my favorites. Everything a great game has this game has, the graphics, the rocking music and the difficulty make this one a gem. I rank this game up there with Mega Man7, Mega Man V, Mega Man IV, Mega Man 4 and Mega Man 3 as greatest Mega Man games in the classic series. I also like the storyline how it leads players to think that the good guys are turning bad and as I mentioned in the plot section it adds mystery to it. I would highly recommend this game. The only negative I have of this game and it is so minor is that the Mega Buster is sometimes more powerful than special weapons. But, as I said that is very minor. It is rumored that Mega Man 5 was supposed to have been made for the SNES if that is the case they may explain why this game is so good and has better graphics. In summary, this game is fun, it is great, so I recommend playing this game you won’t be disappointed Story: 9 Mega Man 5's story line from the intro of the game and from the games manual.
