Game Reviews: Megaman X RPG

As I've stated in the past, I'm not a huge Megaman fan. But this game's pretty fun.

Admittedly, an Internet fan game that stole sprites from a major company doesn't inspire confidence, but this game is a fast-paced blast.

It's a pretty simple clock/turn-based RPG, but what makes it fun is that you can just fly through the turns. You need to exercise a little restraint and strategic thinking against bosses, but against normal enemies, all you need to do is hit the space bar or "A" repeatedly, until such time as the battle is over-which should be mere seconds.

The real virtue of the game, though, is that it has a beautiful and original interface/menu design. It's seriously one of the prettiest computer games I've ever seen, and that includes professional games. (Too bad about all the stupid typos, though. "Poisen," for instance.)

It's quite brief, but it's still worth a look and a few hours of level grinding just for the chance to beat the bonus boss. (I haven't yet. Gark.)
