This is overall a great game. Controls are tight and responsive, the music is stellar and mechanics allow you to be creative in fights allowing you to approach enemies from multiple points - going head on, striking from above, using enemies as weapons - you can do a lot, though called a Mega Man clone it does have mechanics found in other games like the grappling hook in Bionic Commando which expands the game play quite a bit. In the end it's a lot of fun and experimenting with the combat can lead to a lot of fun techniques.
