And having beaten both, I say the win easily goes to Unlimited.
What are you talking about? I personally think Revolution was really the winner, just think about it.
- Unlimited gives players a really unfair challenge at times, and it just isn't suited for everyone which makes the game a little unbeatable.
- Revolution, on the other hand, provides a rather fair challenge that only really gets to the dick part when you hit Haste Man's stage. If you seriously cannot get past those saws at the beginning of Saw Man's stage, I'm sorry but I feel bad for you because that's one of the easiest things of the entire game.
- Unlimited's music tends to get a TAD repetitive at times, and the only real memorable one was Yo-Yo Man's theme. The others were good, just not what I love. I know this may piss people off though, and is mostly just my opinion alone.
- Revolution's music went a new turn and made their songs a little more unique than just the same old Mega Man style music. It almost sounds like it came out of Konami, or even Sunsoft at times. I could NEVER get Light's Lab out of my head, and it was just there for the entire night. For the songs in Unlimited, sure they can be memorable, but I've always preferred the OST of Revolution more.
- Unlimited just had an overall TERRIBLE story, I don't know what they were thinking. Though it's usually just the gameplay that grabs peoples attentions.
- Revolution had a unique story that wasn't reused so much, seeing the return of the Evil Energy. A new professor, and whatnot. I really like how it worked to the point where Mega Man actually had to upgrade to his MMV buster, the "Mega Arm". Which made the game even more amazing. I love the fact of seeing a brand new character in this as it provides some life to more than just the existing 3 professors we know, "Light, Wily, and Cossack".
- Unlimited's robots weren't all that bad, admittingly. I did like about half, but such like Nail and Glue made me feel like they were just adding in rejected robot masters. Just look at Nail Man! He's just a nail with arms and legs. Though I'll admit that was a sort of stable considering such like Spring and Sheep, so I'll let that pass.
- Revolution's robots... errr... they were alright. I think Unlimited actually won this round considering design.
Though I haven't actually played a whole lot of Unlimited, I will give it another shot some other time. For now, this is all I can give. Those complaining that the game (Revolution) feels a little broken, read the beginning note next time. I know it's been in development longer before even Mega Man 9, but I have read somewhere that at one point all the files were erased out of the game. So being technical, both projects were being worked on about the same time. Just that Unlimited had a ton of supporters, and was really well-known as it was worked on by a very well-known guy on Youtube, "MegaPhilX". I can't think of a way to end this so just go do whatever, we all have our opinions anyways.
