I've enjoyed X Collection so far, like the Megaman Anniversary collection last year it's been fun to get back to the Megaman games again. It's also great to have them all on one disc that I actually own as opposed to having them for a weekend back in the day (I never actually bought an individual Megaman game until these collections, I would just rent them and play through them on a weekend).
As far as the individual games go I still haven't played X4-X6, I'm sure I'll get around to it, although X4 didn't seem too spectacular when I tested it out briefly (although it hardly seemed bad either... just less traditional, I'm used to nes or snes quality in megaman games). Like many I think my eyes were mainly on the chance to play X2 and X3 again, those 2 games were hard to find back in the days of the snes and like I said, although I had finished them before, my experience was limited to a couple weekends almost 10 years ago so... yeah, I'd forgotten quite a bit about them. X1 of course was old hat at this point, as I'd been through it many times back in the day and even played through it via emulator several times, it was a good way to get a feel for dash jumping on the ps2 controller though (my hands sure seem to get tired of it faster than they did back in the day, oh well).
I compared the soundtrack of X3 to the snes version mp3s and I have to agree that for the most part the snes version sounded better, the psx "sound upgrades" and music revamp just weren't all that necessary imo (though not bad enough to be considered bad either). Actually, the more I listen to the original X3 soundtrack, the more it sounds like it was trying to do what X8 did with the heavy metal soundtrack just with snes midi-quality, meanwhile the PSX version sort of lost that style in transition.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
