Megaman on PSP

The megaman franchise has been one that I've had a love-hate relationship with for some time. I own both the X and regular collections for console, and consider the series to be an outstanding example of straightforward, challenging gaming, but the fact of the matter is that I've rarely gotten very far in the great majority of these games. I often would start a game, attempt every stage at least once, and when I couldn't beat a single stage without significant suffering and retrying, I would give up and move on to something else. I suppose that is one bad aspect of owning a collection where all the games are available to you.

When I first got a PSP, I was having quite a hard time finding good games to play on it, but one that I thought should be a great value was Megaman Powered Up, a remake of the first Megaman game with updated graphics and a cutesy style. The main draw the game had for me was the stage editor, which seemed like it could be thoroughly awesome.

As is almost always the case, my enthusiasm was much greater than my actual satisfaction.
