Mega Man Maverick Hunter X Critic Reviews

Capcom goes above and beyond with the new Vile mode, an additional difficulty level, remixed music, a thirty minute animation, and the Mega Man Powered Up demo. Even better, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X carries an MSRP of $29.99, $10 less than most new PSP games.

This is where the PSP begins to run away from the DS. Yeah, I said it.

It's easily one of the best games available for the PSP, and it might even earn the Blue Bomber a few more fans.

It's one of the best games in the series - and now one of the best games on the PSP - and this remake has been done with so much love and care that you'll be unable to turn it away.

With wonderful aesthetics, some cool extra features, a budget price-point ($30 or so), and short loading times, Maverick Hunter X is one of the most pleasant experiences on the PSP.

The voice acting seems a bit too much for the game but suits the game well and adds some character.

Maverick Hunter X is my favourite PSP game thus far and one of the very best games I've ever had the pleasure of playing.

It’s the best platformer on PSP, and the extra features should hit fans where they like to be hit.

Capcom has taken an extra step in ensuring that this is more than a quick remake with flashier graphics.

Since Capcom gave it a new splash of paint, remixed the music and added a few extras, rookies as well as veterans should appreciate the update.

As a $50 PS2 release, this would have been nearly unacceptable. But 30 for a portable version, that plays as well as this one does, is wonderful. Hopefully the rest of the X games follow.

With the special containers hidden on other levels, new anime cutscenes, and various other additions make this game a worthy purchase for anyone who is a fan of the Mega Man X series.

Newcomers to the series will be instantly drawn to the simple and exciting gameplay that is a staple of Mega Man, while the new features make it a worthwhile rent for veteran fans.

Visually, however, this is completely new, with crisp 3D graphics to modernize the experience and some new anime vignettes to help tell the story. Toss in some cool bonus content and the same great gameplay as the original, and you've got a remake well worth playing.

And even though the graphics look like anime, fans of the original will be relieved that the classic's side-scrolling game play has been left untouched.

It's a little on the short side, but it's intense, fun and very challenging. The retooled visuals and sound, coupled with truly nifty additions, make Hunter X an engrossing title.

A good game but it lacks replay value. Hardcore gamers could blast through this in a day so they should be advised to rent it.

A reminder of everything that was great about the series, including the superb control and beaming visuals and sound presentation, and it throws in some new goodies to keep fans shooting well into the future.

Even with the apparent technical issues, Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X is still one of the defining games of what PSP gaming should be.

Mega Man X was a great experience back in the day, and this faithful re-interpretation with a sleek new look is nothing to complain about.
