Look up in the sky, it's a bird...



Mega Man ZX
is now in stores nationwide. Yaay! For those few who are still wondering whether they should buy the game or not, Capcom has released a game intro and gameplay video just for you.

The intro is just exciting enough for us to try the game out. We liked the graphics but appreciated the audio more. It had this arcade-like sound that just makes you feel all the more excited to play the game. In it you can also hear some voice acting even though a previous report said otherwise. The second one is an in-game video wherein we could also see one of the earlier bosses pummeled to bits. However, we were wondering why our hero had to revert to human form just to crouch under different objects and obstacles.

In case you got loss in what we're trying to convey, the game follows the story of two humans, Vale and Alie- both working for Girouette Express, as they transport items and articles to anywhere. The adventure begins when they discover how to use the biometal suits, Model X and Z. Where it ends is up to you. Good luck with the game and we hope this downloadable videos could help you decide if you're buying it or not.

Mega Man is one of the classic icons in the whole of Video Game Kingdom. He's up there alongside Mario, Sonic, Lara Croft, et. al. So, naturally, when the new Mega Man ZX gets released, ripples of excitement are bound to spread like wildfire. Now, before its American release, here's a little something-something to tide you over!

Way back when, it was already announced that Mega Man ZX was to boast a plethora of "Living Metal" armor suits. Here, we have the list of your biometal suits that both Vent and Aile can use in the game. Each biometal suits will allow you to use different kinds of abilities.

XXZFX
HXLXPX


First row, left to right:
X
: basic armor that comes with an X buster, and comes with all the basic skills (dash, wall jumps, etc) that Mega Man players are used to. XZ: this is based on Zero's suit, and has your typical Zero abilities of a long range buster attack and a beam saber that can do combos. FX: the FX suit is built on the element of fire and can rapidly shoot fire blasts in two directions at once, useful for breaking blocks when charged up.

Second row, left to right:
HX
: this one, on the other hand, is built on wind, and is the ultimate exploration suit as it allows you to dash up into the air and hover around. LX: the LX suit is that of ice, and aside from being able to shoot ice platforms over land, it also gives you the ability to dash underwater. PX: the suit is non-elemental, mostly based on electricity and is the "ninja" suit that allows you to latch on to platforms and pipes, and even make you see things clearly in the dark.

Well, these biometal suits aren't much different from the different kinds of abilities you absorb from killing bosses in the previous games. The concept is still the same - that you can change your "suit"  to suit your mood - but for Mega Man ZX, it makes for an interesting twist to the franchise.
