  8.0

  Despite its short length and annoying grind sections, I was impressed with its amazing presentation, slick controls, excellent game feel, and the way the developers balanced out its difficulty by adding rankings at the end of each level, essentially making this game appealing for newcomers and veterans alike.

  All in all, Azure Striker Gunvolt succeeds where others have failed, amounting to another unique, if not entirely consistent, addition to the Nintendo eShop.

  This game is basically a remake of the Megaman franchise, but it does it justice. This game is definitly a must for anyone who enjoys platformers, and is definitely worth the 15 dollars you would give for it from the Nintendo e-shop.

  Azure Striker Gunvolt isn't just a great game; it's something of a revelation, finding an entirely new — and rich — approach to the hardcore-platforming genre. While it makes no secrets of its inspirations, the gameplay itself is unique and anything but superficial comparisons fall away quickly.

  Save for his appearance in Super Smash Bros., Capcom has been ignoring Mega Man for years, but fans have some great options while waiting for news on the Blue Bomber. Azure Striker Gunvolt is a worthwhile adventure, even if it's wrapped in a disposable sci-fi story about telekinetic adepts. Azure Striker Gunvolt delivers some of the fun you remember from older Mega Man titles while injecting a jolt of new gameplay.

  8.0

  Azure Striker Gunvolt does an excellent job of providing Mega Man-style thrills while changing things up enough to make gameplay feel fresh. Gunvolt’s pace is faster than any Mega Man, but veterans of that franchise will feel right at home with a game that challenges and rewards you for learning patterns and from your own mistakes.
