I always felt that the original Megaman has aged poorly in both difficulty and design throughout it's lifetime. The First Wily stage in particular is still a nightmare to get to and the difficulty felt more cheap than genuine and I STILL Can't beat it(damn Yellow Devil).

Personally I feel that the remake Powered Up was everything the original was supposed to be

I once beat it without getting hit nor missing. How did you like the review? Was it decent?

Mega Man was awesome.

Battle Network and Starforce ftw.

Mega Man was awesome.

 

Battle Network and Starforce ftw.

Yes. Starforce all the way! I haven't really played Battle Network but Starforce is one of my favorite branches of the Megaman series trailing only behind Megaman Zero.

Anyway, good job on your first review, Quille. Sorry it took me so long to read it, I was at work when I saw your topic about it.

Some suggestions:

Try to be a tad more objective by explaining a few more technical aspects to what you are explaining about. You did good with the NES and the colors in the game but you fell short on the music part. You say it's "not as memorable but it's okay" which is about as vague as can be. Many people read reviews to get information about a game and whether they want to get it. Even if this is a review for a very old game it doesn't change the fact that people will read it out of curiosity if they've never played the game. Go on to explain things like what type of music it is, what instruments are used (or it's trying to sound like at least, in the case of 8-bit music like Megaman's)

It's perfectly okay to be subjective, tell what your favorite parts of a game are and such, but be aware that you telling someone that it's your favorite part tells them nothing about what that part actually consists of.

And here's a bit of advice I got from someone else: Take out scoring. In most cases scoring is more or less an arbitrary number and many reviewers will actually say one thing but give a totally different score than they are trying to portray. It's hard to put opinions, feelings and views into a number. You'll do better just explaining things and perhaps ending on a "i'd recommend this to x person"

Definitely did a good job of it though. One thing I've always believed is that a reviewers love for a game should always shine through and you did that pretty well. (I don't believe it's fair to review games you hate. While loving a game is also biased it doesn't cloud your view a game as much as unbridled hatred does)

Alright. For my review of Mega Man 3 I'll try going into far more depth than I did here. Thanks for the feedback.

Good man!

Just don't feel like you HAVE to be super descriptive. It's just a pointer. You did really good with this review so even if you kept it like this you'd probably be okay anyway.
