Mega Man fans can rest assured: The blue bomber doesn�t suffer the fate Bubsy did when he made the leap to the third dimension. Quite the contrary�Mega Man Legends rocks with an excellent mix of action, adventure, and even a little bit of RPG flavoring.

Legends exploits the 3D space wisely by giving you a gigantic island to explore. As Mega Man, you gather weapons and power-ups, talk to people, and collect money to buy items. Legends also serves up some of the biggest, coolest bosses to ever appear in the series. Add an engrossing story line, and Legends sucks up your gaming hours faster than Mega Man�s vacuum attachment inhales power-ups.

The only real problem with Legends is the game�s kiddy tone. Younger players will love the voices and cinematic cut scenes, but older gamers will have their endurance tested.
