If you tuned in last night, I played Mega Man 9 for about 4 hours trying to get through the game. What took the most time was learning everything. The traps in the levels, enemy distribution, the boss patterns. But behind all of the repetition and frustration, something has me hooked. 


I woke up this morning not with a feeling of disappointment, having played for an enourmous amount of time doing the same thing and not having something to show for it, but instead waking up feeling refresh and pondering when the next time I would have another shot at the game.

Here's why. Boss memorization. Even if you know what to use or do to beat a boss, you still have to be physically able to do it. There's nothing like that feeling of unsurity whether or not you're going to make it. Over the course of Mega Man 9, I've had so many close calls. And even though I failed many a time because I didn't just take the easy way out by using a certain weapon or energy tank, I know I've gotten better. For example, I got to Dr. Wily (which hopefully was th final boss) and during his first form, you have to bounce these explosive eggs back at him. I knew what I needed to do, but it still requires you to be able to time the shots correctly, which I find incredibly satisfying. 

Also, more so than any other Mega Man game, MM9 fucks with you. Big Time. It sucks and is kinda cheap. But the way they designed the game so that you will fail, it's been hilarious. Those deaths albiet cheap, I have no control over. 

The only thing I am a little disappointed about this game is the music. The game has some great songs for the 8 robot stages, but the Wily stages have been a little...meh.

One of the reasons I think this game has been so great for me is that there really hasn't been a Mega Man game like this in 15 years. There were complaints about wanting a more vibrant graphical MM game. Afterplaying  last night, I'm not sure if that's what I would want. It was jarring at first, but I can now fully appreciate Mega Man 9 for its fast paced gameplay. 

Now, I'm just looking forward to Round 2,
David
