User Reviews

Better than X4.

For quite a while, I thought "Mega Man X4" was the best in the "Mega Man X" series, but I was blown away with "Mega Man X5" which I think is the BEST of the "Mega Man X" games.

First off, the story is better than the previous game, and the soundtrack is really good too. There's also really cool new armors, and a different power-up system as well. As in X3 and X4, you can play as either X or Zero, so that hasn't changed there, but there's a couple new characters introduced to the series in this installment. Overall, this game is the best of the "X" series.
