'Mighty No. 9' Review: Is It Really That Bad? Is It Not Worth Trying At All?

"Mighty No. 9" didn't do that good according to a lot of players and reviewers due to a serious number of issues. Still, there are some who are curious to try it out and wondering if it's just everything, but bad.

Possibly, one of the huge let downs of the game the pre-release trailer.

As the saying goes, first impressions last and a first impression of the final retail version of the game in this pre-release trailer can't be worse than it already is. This is according to number of fans who patiently waited and end up getting disappointed.

One of the gripes IGN had with the game, according to their review, is the uninspiring graphics. It's a 2.5D game and expectations depend on each players' preferences.

Difficulty is one issues that players had serious problems with. It tends to be repetitive ending up in a trial-and-error routine. The original Mega Man and Rock Man games were definitely hard and "Mighty No. 9," being overly difficult might be more subjective than a real problem.

Some WILL enjoy the game, being that it is supposedly the spiritual successor of the game. This holds somewhat true at some points in the game, but for purists, "Mighty No. 9" may just come out as another 2nd-rate clone.

The graphics in the game aren't the best, if not, even that good at all. This image from PC Gamer about a confusing scene explains a lot of what to expect in the game.

Still, graphics don't define the game. Playability takes a significant amount of factor to make the players decide if the game is a well-done.

Hardcore fans may find "Mighty No. 9" a nice nostalgic tribute to our favorite blue bomber. Some will despise it and some will like it. However, games are meant to be experienced as they are on their own. Not just a reference of what they were based from.

"Mighty No. 9" is as good as a collectible, which fans may buy just for the heck of it. Collectors will stare at it for a while and end up getting dust in the closet afterwards.

The short answer to the question above is yes and no. It is yes if players would just want to add "Mighty No. 9" to their collection of Mega Man inspired games. It would be no if they actually wanted to play a proper game.
