PS2 MEGAMAN X8 NOSTALGIA

Mega Man X8 retains the 3D graphics style present in Mega Man X7, but reverts the gameplay style to be purely 2D, similar to previous Mega Man X games before X7 (with Dynasty and Central White being the only exceptions, being on-rails vehicle stages played fully in 3D). As with the traditional Mega Man gameplay loop, after an introductory stage, Mega Man X8 presents the player with a choice of eight stages, with a Maverick robot serving as the stage boss. After defeating the eight Mavericks, a series of fortress stages open up for the player to complete in linear progression until the player faced the final boss.
