I was pretty hyped, having just completed the other games to try the new and improved Mega Man. All in all it is a solid experience. I really liked the power gear system, the weapons and the bosses. All 8 robot masters felt unique and their weapons useful in many encounters. The only thing I didn't particularly enjoy was the length of the stages. I prefered the shorter and denser levels of the previous games.
In conclusion, I would recommend it.
