The manual is disappointingly black and white (except the anthology booklet which is color), but at least it contains lots of images.
Incidentally, Proto Man is, surprisingly enough, too tall in this game. I do prefer more realistic animation and less stretch-and-squash, but at least the animations are very smooth.
The rest of the sprite animations are very fluid. Sprites - Mega Man’s sprite is a bit stretched and looks pretty dorky, but you don’t notice this as much when you are playing the game.Almost all of the voice acting is incredibly painful to listen to, either because the actor cannot pronounce English words, or because he can’t act. However, the voices during the FMV (full motion video) are not as entertaining. Voices - While you’re fighting them in-game, the Robot Masters all have lines of dialogue, some of which cracked me up to no end.And I’m very glad that these scenes were not cut from the English version of the game, since that’s half the plot right there. I have to say, however, that at least the anime doesn’t look as stretched as Capcom’s production art. FMV - The anime cut scenes were nicely animated, but annoyingly enough they resemble the Mega Shows just a little too much.The replacement instrumental we got in the English version isn’t anywhere near as upbeat, though it’s still a nice tune, and I do like how they throw in the whistle-like flute right where Proto Man is shown. It’s a shame, however, because the Japanese opening was my favorite music in this entire game. This is because they contained lyrics in Japanese, which most English audiences probably wouldn’t appreciate.
Music - The opening and one of the ending musics were altered from the Japanese version of this game.However a lot of other aspects were done quite poorly. In terms of game play, it added a lot of new things to the series, and yet still kept enough to still be called a Mega Man game. Mega Man 8 has, incredibly enough, both great and horrible aspects, and few which are mediocre.
