Someone here wrote "The Bad Ones" to describe this collection, and I would say they are somewhat justified in holding that position. While I am recommending this collection, objectively these games are worse in comparison to what came before. However, that does not mean there is no value here (well, at least for three of the four available games). X5 Mega Man X5 is one of the best 7/10 games I have ever played. The story of X5 is easily the best of the X series thus far, with both X and Zero getting enough time to shine and interact with the Mavericks and villains. It also carries over the immaculate PS1 power fantasy of X4, showing off fluid gameplay, movement, special weapons, combos and fun platforming sections that will excite and challenge you. If you like Zero's fast-paced swordplay style, you'll really like this game as he just steamrolls everything in your way. X's armors and special weapons more than hold their own though, granting some of the best abilities and aesthetics in the franchise. The soundtrack is also the best part of the game, outshining all of its predecessors except for the first Mega Man X, especially the boss theme. So why is X5 a 7/10 then? What started in X4 with longer stages with cute gimmicks have evolved into levels that are run by gimmicks. Multiple slow, auto-scrolling levels, a hover rider level that lasts way too long , enemies waiting for you off screen that forces you to eat damage. The worst aspect of the game is the RNG. The game from the get-go is on a timer to obtain certain items and beat bosses within a time limit. Although the time limit is pretty generous, you may not even succeed in firing the Enigma Cannon or Shuttle, causing you to immediately get sucked into the bad ending and stripping away one of your characters (which blows because if you were mostly playing as him, you lose those upgrades since they don't carry over) and forces you to now back track with the other. Activate these mechanics too early, and you risk losing out on valuable parts to improve your gameplay. X5 is a good game though, and unlike the next two games in the series, is definitely worth playing through for the epic story and fun gameplay. X6 It is no secret that this game was rushed to the market for holiday sales, and boy does it show. Picking up from X5's good ending, X6 artificially extends the story of the X series, and has X as the sole playable character (initially). Retcons aside, I do think the story is the best part of X6. X having an actual character focus over Zero for once was much welcomed, and Gate is genuinely a great villain. The PS1 style of gameplay is here once again, and the special weapons, unique X armors and cool boss designs are probably the best in the franchise. And the soundtrack compliments this properly, with all stage themes being among, if not the best, in the whole series objectively. And that is where the praises end for X6. Because this game was rushed, everything about it crumbles beneath the myriad of issues. Hit detection is atrocious, buster shots and sword swings clipping through enemies and doing no damage. Gimmicky stages with instant kill pits and spike traps, auto-scrolling, obscene platforming and way too many enemies. In certain stages, if your character so much as stubs their toe or stands up from a crouch at the wrong time, they instantly explode regardless of your health. Nightmare conditions that ruin stage visibility or augment enemy damage. Some stages have multiple mini bosses that litter the stage, grinding the pacing of the game to a halt or resulting in multiple gameovers. Boss fights are even more unbalanced than X5, with some being too easy and others making you want to slam your head through a wall (High Max, Infinity Minjinion, etc.) A reploid rescue system that clashes with the bad stage design, forcing you to risk everything to save scattered reploids from permanent death or risk losing out on the additional parts and ranks they offer, barring you from further upgrades unless you restart the whole game, new save file and all. Nightmare enemies that respawn constantly and are just annoyingly frustrating to fight in high numbers. The game is more of an exercise in frustration than it is fun, and that is why this game is a below average experience. That being said, if you think any of the previous games are too easy, you might be able to find a lot of fun in X6. X7 This game sucks. No sugar coating, no hyperbole, no mercy. Since it's a PS2 game, they tried to adapt the Mega Man X style into a 3D-2D action platformer hybrid, but they failed miserably. The game will switch perspectives without informing you randomly throughout the game, throwing off your entire flow and messing with your controls constantly. It's so bad that in 3D sections, characters that shoot have an auto lock-on system to compensate for the horrible aiming and depth perception issues you will be contending with. Sometimes, trying to climb up a wall becomes impossible because the camera is meant to switch once you reach a certain point, causing you to just fall to your death. Movement is also slow and clunky, making traversal a chore instead of the fast-paced action games the franchise is known for. And the 3D camera cannot be controlled, only turning when your character turns, leading to you plummeting to your death or getting hit by things off screen. This is VERY ANNOYING IN BOSS FIGHTS. The 2D sections fare better, yet are still slow and suffer from hit detection issues, especially as Zero who will most likely end up clipping into an enemy mid-combo and taking knock back and damage as a result. Also, don't let the cover and wallpaper art fool you, this is one of the ugliest looking 3D games I have ever seen. Doesn't help that everyone is voiced by Capcom's interns or random people off the street, leading to laughably bad performances. The terrible sound mixing makes this even funnier, with bad delivery being covered up by the obnoxiously loud soundtrack. Sometimes, voices will cut over one another, even the same character speaking, so you'll have a boss repeating the same phrase five or six times in a row as they take damage and cut off themselves off. The only time enjoyed this game was playing as X, because he is so absurdly broken that he destroys every enemy and boss in X7. X8 Mega Man X8 attempts to right the ship, and ironically succeeds. Everything about this game is a complete reversal of X7, from the character writing and art style to the hybrid gameplay. X8 looks much better in 3D, and the 3D aspects are integrated into the traditional X formula of gameplay that it makes traversal and fighting enemies a lot of fun. Everyone gets multiple special weapons and two different armor types to play with, and it results in some unique player choice depending on what you are looking for in terms of combat or traversal. Special chips replace the upgrades of the previous games, which might be off-putting at first but does make X8 stand out in a positive way. If you are ever struggling at any point, grind some chips and max out character and weapon stats. And the voice cast and writing are easily the best in the franchise. That's not to say X8 is perfect though. The gimmicky stages return here with a vengeance. The X6 pitfalls and conveniently placed spike traps also show up here, and make getting killed by b.s. offscreen more commonplace than should be necessary. And while I did mention grinding for upgrades is a good way to lower the difficulty, the resources you gain are astronomically low, so get ready to replay missions and stages multiple times. All in all, the Legacy Collection 2 has plenty of highs and plenty of lows. A diehard Mega Man X fan will find enjoyment in this collection, so that is why I am going to recommend it. However, if you are a casual player and still venture inward, there is some value to be found here.

This Collection brings me back to my childhood. Remembered that days. I like the badges quests of this game, it makes the game more challenging. High recommend for who wants a childhood ticket.

Just play it for X8. Very good collection that's mostly comprised of painfully mediocre games that nobody likes. Except me, I'm an X7 defender.

Unlike XLC1, XLC2 will either offer you a challenging experience or a really awful one. X5 is somewhat the same as X4 in terms of quality, however some things hold it back, the time limit, RNG, the 4 armor pieces, the parts system for instance, some levels like Duff McWhalen and Squid Adler (or Tidal Whale and Volt Kraken since they changed the names) are a drag. X6 is, somewhat the same quality as X5 however it is much more difficult and frustrating, with the non-existant enemy variety, cheap deaths, inconsistent difficulty, permanently missable upgrades, etc. X6 is either a game you can have some enjoyment out of it, even if it's cheap or frustrating at times (like at the final 3 bosses) or a game you won't like at all. X7 is, on the other hand, single-handedly the worst Mega Man game ever. Too slow, uninteresting levels, too boring, ugly, too easy, awful voice acting (despite having VAs of characters like Anna Williams, Raven and even Alucard?), bad story... I doubt a single thing is good about this game, it takes the worst of X6 and makes it unbearable. X8 is a larger step-up to the previous 3 games, it handles the best, music is amazing, has decent bosses, but I think what holds this game back is the level design and graphics. Its levels are too linear and too gimmicky for me to properly enjoy, especially out of a MMX game. The graphics however could've been done some more work, I think if it had gotten cel-shading, it could've hold up much more. If you can keep up with X6's bullshit, I'd say the only game here you'd have a bad time with is X7 since nothing about that game is good. Button mapping resetting is still an issue with X5 and X6, although X7 and X8 don't suffer from that issue

i recommend this collection to the hardcore mmx fans reasons why is because x7 is horrible and x8 is okay the only two games on this disc that stand out is mega man x5 and mega man x6 which we all know how everyone feels about x6 but i happen to enjoy it the game has its issues but i still find it enjoyable to play with all the bad level design and (features) = (glitches) not as legacy collection 1 but its worth a shot for anyone into 2d platforming or grew up with the 8bit mega man
