Vaporware Chronicles: Mega Man Legends 3D

<p><em>Mega Man Legends <&sol;em>had a very nice run on the original PlayStation&period; It&&num;8217&semi;s no surprise either&period; It was a very different entry in a well known franchise&period; Instead of being a 2D platformer&comma; Inafune decided to spice things up and turn Volnutt&&num;8217&semi;s adventure into a 3D role playing game&period; Think of it as <em>Mega Man<&sol;em> meets <em>Final Fantasy VII&semi; <&sol;em>it&&num;8217&semi;s very different but also very compelling&period; If you go back and play the series now&comma; it is difficult to get used to&period; The trigger buttons on the PlayStation controller control Volnutt&&num;8217&semi;s movement and it takes quite a bit of time to get comfortable with&period; Once you do get acclimated though you are in control of a Mega Man world that&&num;8217&semi;s both glorious and unique&period; If you can snag this on the PSN you should&period; You can help the rest of us show Capcom we want to find out how Volnutt&&num;8217&semi;s story finally ends&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<figure id&equals;"attachment&lowbar;121045" aria-describedby&equals;"caption-attachment-121045" style&equals;"width&colon;
