Mega Man: The Wily Wars

Mega Slow Man


Genre: action - gun

Publisher: Capcom

Year: 1994

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

It's Mega Man 1 thru 3, but slow. Yes I know it's a PAL region game but I don't think a 20% boost in speed would get this back to the NES game's performance. This game is slooooooow Maybe it's the slow speed, but the controls aren't as responsive as the NES game. There's a bit of lag on all movement.


Level Design Score: 5

Level Design Notes:

Mega Man 2 and 3 are master classes in level design.


Theme Score: 5

Theme Notes:

Mega Man!


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Nice improvement over the NES originals, but there's a bunch of slowdown. Also, the colors are muted when compared to the clean NES graphics. Flicker is gone, but perormance is greatly reduced.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

I award you no points for using all the classic tunes because they sound horrible in these remixed versions. This is the equivalent of Rosanne Barr singing an entire Whitney Houston album. No. Just no.


Overall Score: 72

Review ID: 1063
