RYAN: What's up everyone? This is Ryan B on Ryan's Review Show of Reviewness! So, anyway, today I'm going to be reviewing a game. Yes, it's another friggen Megaman game, but here's a catch, I'VE NEVER PLAYED IT!

{DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!}

RYAN: Yes, that's true. I've played 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7, but never 8! Why? I don't have a working emulator or the game itself! So, here's the deal. I'm going to be reviewing what I see of Megaman 8 and see what the buzz is about! So...let's start.

RYAN: So, first up is the music in the game. I've listened to the master's tracks. Here are my opinions.

  • Clown Man: Pretty happy if you ask me, well, he is CLOWN Man after all, and this music is befitting for a carnival type stage.
  • Astro Man: Catchy. Sounds virtual, and a type of Astro Man-esque theme; something I could totally do The Robot to.
  • Aqua Man: Pretty peaceful, but I prefer Megaman games with lively tracks like Dive Man for example.
  • Tengu Man: GAH. TOO HAPPY FOR TENGU MAN. It doesn't even sound like an air stage! The Saturn version of it kicks more ass; it's also nice and lively, too. I also prefer the MM&B Tengu Man over this anyday.
  • Search Man: Holy {bleep}. This is really funky. I like it, but for Search Man? This seems more like Astro Man to me, but it's lively and awesome. Kudos to you, Search Man.
  • Grenade Man: Sounds like something out of Megaman X, but this is a good track too. Not much to say, except this'd sound pretty sweet 8-bit.
  • Frost Man: Again, too peaceful for a big hulking son of a dog like him. It sounds more like a water or forest stage.
  • Sword Man: Seems fitting for a kinda temple-ish stage. Sounds very cryptic.

RYAN: So what's next to go over? Well, why not the one thing that bugs me: the horrid VOICES of the characters.

  • Megaman: Sure, he has a high voice in Power Fighters, but THIS is like the voice of a friggen 3 year old kid! Personally, the best Megaman voice they could do was the one for Megaman Powered Up. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU?!
  • Sword Man: Sounds like should, but WAAAAAAAAAAAY too monotonous in battle. At least YELL your attack names! I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
  • Grenade Man: Voice = very yes. There's not much to say, but he's got one hell of a voice.
  • Frost Man: Befitting for a big, stupid, hulky guy. "I'll make a popsicle outta you!" = Best line ever.
  • Astro Man: He's got the perfect kinda voice, all virtual and crap, but dude, SHUT THE HELL UP. You are a nervous wreck who does nothing but act all scared and crap and blah and blah and...GAAAAAAH!
  • Search Man: It's kinda cool how he says two things at the same time like "Shoot! Fire!" and I seriously have no problem at all with his voice.
  • Tengu Man: I can't find the Saturn version of his voice, but his PSX voice...eh...it's ok. I always imagined Tengu having a deep voice, but then again, I watched Pompous Robots like...10 times.
  • Clown Man: He's a clown. I understand his voice.
  • Aqua Man: Three words. WHAT. THE. {long bleep}. His voice makes him sound like...euuuuuuuurgh.
  • Cut Man (Saturn Only): What was with his "EeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeh" when you killed him?
  • Wood Man (Saturn Only): Nice voice, but sounds stupid when he launches his shield.

RYAN: So what I've seen so far, Megaman 8 is good with the OST, but sucks with voices. Ah well. Just gotta play the game to figure things out. See ya, expect part two of this.
