It's more Mega Man X! The level design definitely isn't as good, but it still has some novelty to it, the fast action-packed gameplay still fucks, the music is still pretty good, and the graphics are still colorful and detailed. I especially like that this game utilizes some of the Super Nintendo's tricks, with some wireframe graphics and Mode 7 special effects frequently utilized on the bosses. This doesn't have that "goddamn this is AWESOME" near-constant high of the original Mega Man X, but it's still worthwhile.
