While it's not quite up there with the series' best, as a few too many gimmick levels ultimately hold back what could've been a truly excellent game, it's also hard not to view Mega Man X8 as the second coming when compared to X6 and X7. While I'm not usually one to praise a display of raw competence, there's a lot to love about the title, from the ever so solid gameplay and music, to its surprising replayability. Definitely worth a go, especially if you've put yourself through the two preceding titles just prior.
