What? Didn't I just post in a thread with a same name is this. Anyway, The worst MM games are Megaman ZX and Megaman ZX advent, They are simply a disgrace to the great Megaman Name.

Now before you jump in with come-backs, listen first:
This was my initial responce shortly after playing Mega Man ZX (Rock Man ZX) for the Nintendo DS. I was expecting a classic Rock Man X platform-esq adventure with no RPG elements. Since ZX adds missions/item based elements from 'Battle Network' I was thrown off.
Overall: 1.6
The sun was rising, the clouds were forming, it was a beautiful day to purchase a Nintendo DS game. I was looking forward into buying Capcom's latest installment of its cult-classic Mega Man (Rock Man / X) series. Having replaying Mega Man X8 for PS2, I was ready for some old-school platforming action with some new surprises.
After Opening up the case, I plopped the cartridge in and preceded to watch the opening introduction. So far, decent 2D graphics, wonderfully drawn sprites, and a beautiful cut-scene, I was ready to play ZX! Being a Veteran in the Mega Man series, having played all games starting from the NES until now, I know Capcom's mistakes and trails. But this was too much. Once I started playing ZX, the first thing I noticed was the lack of enemies. Okay, that alright. What’s this? I entered a door and I am led around this “city” that have the population of 2 civilians? On top of that, I was treated to many empty rooms (resembling RPG areas) done horribly bad? This can't be a Mega Man game. But in fact folk, it was. Most of the time you'll find yourself walking around aimlessly trying to complete missions. Missions, you say? That sounds fun? If your definition of fun is finding information and retrieving it this suits you. The map is another problem. All it points out is the area you are in; unlike Castlevania: DS showing navigation of your current location. Mostly you'll be going through doors that lead in random orders (A-1 leads to F-4 ... ect) attacking a few enemies. This is not a Mega Man game. This is absolute crap.
I must warn many Mega Man fans about the horrors experienced from playing this monstrosity. This is NOT a platform, and defiantly NOT a classic. Fans of the X series re-play your classics until Capcom of Japan releases a decent new Mega Man X game. If you’re a fan of Mega Man Zero for Game Boy Advance, it might interest you, otherwise avoid this DS game at all costs.
Bottom Line: If you enjoy walking around attacking 2-3 weak enemies every now and then, opening doors in which lead to nothing, doing tasks in which require you to talk to 5 people, this game is for you, if not stay clear.
See what happens when you let yourself blantly expect something? You don't get most of what your expectations are. Play the whole game, and enjoy it for 'what it is' and quit holding 'what it could be' over it. Or don't play it. Simple.

I really liked ZX and I didn't think it was "wandering around aimlessly" at all, except for some of the (optional!) sidequests. The main missions are standard MMZero fare: go to an area, plow through enemies to get to the boss, get a weapon for beating it. It's just an altered form of the most basic Megaman formula. It's not easy unless you're playing on Easy, of course. I agree with the map being confusing, but that's about it.
ZX was actually pretty boring and easy to get lost.When I was assigned to a mission,i didn't even know where I should go and wasting time walking around the huge city with a few people.And Japanese Voices...
haha, I concur, the voices were indeed horrible and for those that hated the game, I could understand but I thought the game was enlightening due to the fact that X and Zero were mentioned in some sort of way.And I thought the japanese voices should have been an unlockable feature or option

Actually it sounds like he's mentioning Japanese voices because that's all there were in ZX. I'm not sure if it was good or not, I mean the last voice scene with Serpent talking... Serpent was corny as hell.
