Jeremy Parish's review for the game is in. 8.5/10. There are some downsides, a bit of slowdown and playing as the bosses isn't balanced (he says forget beating Iceman with Fireman as an example). But says overall it's an awesome piece of fan service, the level editor is easy to use and flexible, as mentioned before 100 mini games and "weekly downloads from Capcom." Sadly I will have to wait at least two more days before we get it here.

edit: According to a poster on that MM fan site linked below, beating the 100 mini challenges lets you play as Protoman!![/b]

edit:

Bearing in mind there may be differences in content with the U.S.A. upgrades, here is a nice breakdown on what the weekly downloads will be like:

http://www.atomic-fire.com/index.php..._from=&ucat=1&

March 17th: Old Fire Pack, Rockman 8 Roll (costume), Dengeki PS2 Stage
March 24: Old Cut Pack, Capcom Title CM Stage "Joe", Dengeki Online Stage
March 29: Shuukan Shounen Sunday Stage
March 31: Old Bomb Pack, Dengeki Ma)Ou Stage

For those who don't know, Dengeki is one of the largest game magazine publishers, and they seem to be making several special downloadable stages to promote their different playstation associated magazines. Shuukan Shounen Sunday is also another publisher that seems to be getting in on the special stage creation.

I'm sure most people are quite looking forward to these updates, especially to see Roll's Rockman 8 costume in less than a week with the new art style.

Also, I'd just like to add how great Rockman Rockman is. I've been playing almost non-stop since I got it about 7 days ago, and this game still has more to offer even outside Construction Mode for me. After completing the 100 Challenges and the 10 Old Style Stages, there were still the 468 New Style Stages of which I have 21 remaining. This is a game that, even for someone who doesn't want to touch Construction Mode will last a good 100 hours or more. It is definately one of the best games I've seen in a long time.

Well, have my copy reserved. Hopefully will get it tomorrow as long as something annoying doesn't happen with the shipments. Anyways, in the mean time:

Lengthy footage of the level editor to make you drool:

And FWIW:

IGN:

8.2

http://psp.ign.com/articles/695/695727p1.html

Gamespot:

8.5

http://www.gamespot.com/psp/action/r...an/review.html

Both the IGN and Gamespot reviews further confirm that overall the game is every bit as challenging as the original (to the point of slight frustration in some parts) and packed with an incredible amount of replay value. Also, the separate challenge settings do not simply make the game blindly tougher, but also have a subtle yet distinct impact on level design, ie: harder setting results in "missing blocks" which results in more vicious jumps, ect. The 100 minigame levels are said to be simple in objective (ex: complete an obstacle course without using blaster) yet can individually take a long time to complete. Also, here's hoping the online interface for trading the custom levels isn't too wonky.

What I'm hearing about this game makes it seem like a good game with a whole load of extra stuff packed in - Stuff that sounds like it might get tiresome after a while, like all those challenges and variations on the main game. I wonder is that the case?
