My history with games is weird, I've played a bunch of obscure shit no one's ever heard of but I've never touched a lot of what's considered "the best games of all time".

Mega Man X: Command Mission is a pretty mediocre RPG, the story isn't very interesting (although I appreciate that they finally made an X story that doesn't involve Sigma), the dungeons are frankly a chore to get through and the random encounter rate is mind-numbingly high, so why the above average score?
Simply put, the combat is fun, every character feels vastly different thanks to the action trigger mechanic which has you doing special inputs or little minigames to do a more powerful attack (think special moves in Mario RPG) along with the hyper mode mechanic which makes your character more powerful for a set amount of turns, sure towards the end of the game I just stuck with a team of X, Zero and Cinnamon (especially once I get the secret hyper modes) but it's still fun to experiment with such a large cast of characters.
Also I'm a massive fan of the X series so that helps too.

Never been the biggest fan of Alpha 3, the game felt way too floaty for my liking, the presentation and music is a massive step back from the previous game and overall it just makes me wish I was playing Alpha 2.
This PSP port is easily the best version with the most amount of characters, some fixes to weird move properties and now you can actually continue against Bison, which was one of the things that put me off of the original.
I would still rather play Alpha 2 but this is solid.

Better presentation than the first game, even has voice acted cutscenes and a Crush40 vocal song but this game is atrocious, they got too ambitious with their shitty engine held together with tape and popsicle sticks, nothing works in this game and its an exercise in frustration.
The bog-standard racing is fine but hurt severely by rubber-banding AI, the battle mode and boss fights just don't work, playing them will make you miserable.
Just another crap Sonic game from the dark age shat out without any care.
