Megaman 4: Do the Hula!
by RockmanHalo
Now, I know what you're all thinking, MM4!? Yes, MM4. It WAS my first game...and I really think that the only reason it's been looked down upon is the fact that it came after 2 of the greatest Megaman games in existance.
Okay, my encounter! Look back to 1999,th Indians were great, and I just got into retro gaming. It was Christmas. I had my dear old NES sitting next to my tree and TV, I was hooked. Anyhow, the only thing I an remember from that year WAS Megaman 4, it was the first game in my collection, and the one that got me hooked.
Megaman 4's intro screen blew me away, Megaman was close up, and didn't look like some cos-playing man. (Even looked good on the box art!) I loved the music, and, on a later note, the fact that he had hair under his helmet. (When I got into the story.) Anyway, it got me syched to play the game. (And led me to believe that Cossack was Wily...)
Anyway, down to the good stuff. Megaman 4 had 8 Robot Masters, supposedly Russian; Dustman, Skullman, Diveman, Drillman, Toadman(Hula!), Brightman, Pharoahman, and Ringman.
Megaman 4 had some good weapons, the trick you can pull off with the Pharoahshot is quite useful. The first Homing missile was introduced, and an upgrade to the Flash Stopper also was in here. Useless ones included the Skull Shield, the Ring Boomerang, and the Dust Crusher, you never really used them for anything except boss battles. Rush was in here, to my thankfullness, as long as the 2 items, Balloon (Item 1) and the Wire Adapter (Spider-Man?). On a side note, it also introduced the Full Screen Weapon Select, and instead of using abrivations, had the name of the Master that it came from. (Without the "Man") The "Got Weapon Screen" is still one of my favs for the close up on Megaman. And, ;ast but not least. The thing that the Rockman series is known for...the Mega Buster...
The stages were put together well, mind you, I didn't really pay attention. I was focused more on getting Dr. Cossack, and saving his daughter... Anyway, I didn't enjoy the double fortress, and didn't enjoy it either in MM5, but...oh well. More stuff to blow up. Yay for giant killer Mets!
So, it's not the gem that MM2 or MM3 is, but it is a good game, and I love it to the death. My fingers hurt. And I wanna finsh RMW5, so...I'm out!
