Scratch Another


Tonight I finished Mega Man 9 for the Wii.
I used a few energy tanks and a mega tank in the last stage. I even watched a couple youtube videos. I am not ashamed of this. 
Mega Man 9 is one damned difficult game.
Remember the first time you played the original Mega Man? And there were no energy tanks or passwords? It's way harder than that. 

A lot of people put MM9 up there with the best, up there with Mega Man 2 and 3, in gameplay, graphics and music. Me? I'd rank it above MM6 (Rush Armor/Rush Jet) and above MM5 (evil Proto Man hoax). It's every bit as good as MM4 (Dr. Cosack), but no higher than that. The best for me are still:

1. Mega Man 2
2. Mega Man 3
3. Mega Man

Oh and in case you're wondering, yes I got a number of achievements; no, I'm not going to try to get them all. I don't even think I'm in much of a mood to play it again. It's a very punishing game. Almost every other Mega Man game, I play over and over. MM9 was just kind of mean spirited a lot of the time.
