DESCRIPTION

Mega Man X6 is yet another addition to the long-running Capcom franchise. Picking up immediately after the events in Mega Man X5, the Blue Bomber finds himself investigating recent reports of reploids running amok. Only he can save the reploids and avenge Zero's sacrifice. Following the same formula that the series' forefathers adhered to, this latest PlayStation incarnation sees Mega Man X traveling through eight levels, each of which houses a boss character whose weapon can be claimed by Mega Man X once defeated. As an added bonus, Mega Man X can now use Zero's sword throughout his adventure.

New to the series is the "Nightmare System" which actually changes certain aspects of the title based upon your actions. Depending on what you do in a particular level, subsequent levels will be populated by different enemies, and certain areas will be unlocked. The system also randomizes level maps, enemy placement and endings, essentially creating a slightly different game each time through. ~ Gavin Frankle, All Game Guide

All You Need to Know About Mega Man X6 by: bettadud

Mega Man X6 (PS) by: Shadsy

“A disaster. After completely disregarding the plot, the game throws in frustrating level design, unimaginative enemies, and a horrible "Nightmare" gimmick. Mega Man might be fun, but X6 is a stale low point.”

What the hell was that?! That was way too easy... by: Gamer-e

“This game throws all of these awkward and horribly challenging challenges in my face up until the end of the game. Then I fight the final boss's first form. The only reason I even took as much...”

Gamer-e was the last to comment - over 4 years ago...

“Maybe it's just because I was using the Shadow Armor, but even with that, some parts were hellish, especially boss fights that required me to air dash or jump (dash) far to avoid getting hit. I didn't get the Hyper Dash, which allows me to have a longer jump dash, until the third to last stage, because I needed it to get past an area that required a long jump dash or air dash.

Gates was the main villain anyway, so I'm just gonna think of Sigma as a really crappy extra boss who's nowhere near as difficult as he was in the other X games.”

“Wow, High Max is a total douche and can go to hell. I went to him as Zero and STILL couldn't do any damage to him. The first time you fight the guy is at the very beginning of the game as X, but...”

Mega Man X6 (PS) by: lAbsolutionl

“Megaman X6 features a new enemy named Gate. It also introduces The Nightmares. And there's a unique system of collecting "Orbs" left over by Nightmares for power-ups and such. Another good title, but not one of my favorites. ”
