Woah I didn't write a review for Mega Man 10, I beat this game months ago. Well here it is, lets keep this one short and sweet. I called Mega Man 9 one of the best downloadable games ever, a genius idea that was a stunning triumph. MM9 was the best MM game since MM2.

If Mega Man 9 is Mega Man 2 then Mega Man 10 is around Mega Man 5, maybe 6. The novelty of it all got old fast. MM9 was great just cause it was old school, it really had some of the best level design of the series. MM10 feels like such a half assed job next to it. The levels don't introduced anything that interesting. The bosses are average and so are their weapons. The music is not memorable at all. The game is simply not as good as Mega Man 9.

Where this game does shine is all the extras it comes with. Right from the start you can play as Mega Man or Proto Man. There are multiple difficulty modes to play through, with an easy mode for those that find Mega Man too hard. The best mode is the new challenge mode. In MM9 the challenge mode was nothing more than a trophy list, things to do in game to unlock the achievement. In this game the challenge mode is 80 or so mini missions that go from training you in all weapons to fighting all bosses and mini bosses. I really enjoyed the challenge mode. Everything else from MM9 is included as well like time attack and leaderboards.

It's still a quality game, most Mega Man games are, it just got old fast. We don't need another 6 Mega Man games like this, time for something new already.

Aw that's mean. So I will force myself to read this review for a game with NES graphics.

Sounds like they didn't even try for this game.

Down with NES looking retro games and UP with SNES looking retro games.

I am probably being harsh with this one. I am sure that in a vacuum this game is fine, another solid Mega Man experience, quality stuff. But coming after the last one this feels like a pumped out sequel that went through a Mega Man generic level creator.

So do you think that this will be it for the Mega Man retro revival?  Onto a real one next numbered game?  And what would a real one be? A gloriously rendered 2d game like Muramasa? Or  a hellacious drop into 3D?

Like a Metroid Prime exploration FPS or Devil May Cry action game? I'd go for the latter.
