Zero has lost his X-Buster in this game, so now he fights exclusively with his Beam Sabre. Playing as X is simply the same as the other games, but Zero is a totally different experience. Mega Man fan Satoshi Kunsai says it all in his review for MobyGames: 'First off, this game is a very big leap above Mega Man X3, in terms of gameplay and cosmetic changes, but one of the biggest greats is the fact that you can finally play the game in full with Zero! Yes, X's friend is a playable character, complete with his own arsenal and story line! This is one of the coolest things in this game, but not the only thing.Īs for the gameplay itself: if you've played the previous X games, then you'll know what's going on here: X still has his X-Buster, so he shoots stuff.
A short-lived but excellent entry in CAPCOM's intermittent line of Mega Man series that is much more famous on console systems than on PC, Mega Man X4 is an excellent platformer that every arcade fan should definitely play.
