Product Description
Doppler Town, named after the reploid scientist, was a place where humans and reploids could live in peace. When the virus that transformed reploids into Mavericks was discovered, Doppler created an anti-virus. However, Doppler became infected and assembled a team to destroy the Maverick Hunter Units. The only robots that can stop him are Mega Man X and Zero. Use the unique talents of each character to destroy enemies and assimilate new weapons and powers. Along the way, they will have to find a variety of secret items including a helmet and some robot armor. Save humanity from the scourge of the Mavericks in MEGA MAN X3.

 The least of the SNES Mega Man X titles. October 29, 2008
The game continues the wonderful X formula and adds a few things, but it misses more things than it lands. The big four poos about the game are:
(1) Most of the music is awful (so bad that Capcom rearranged the music for their Mega Man X Collection -- yeah, even they know it sucks).
(2) There is almost no enemy diversity (you fight the SAME enemies over and over endlessly -- really boring).
(3) The bosses' behaviors are extremely simple and predictable.
(4) The upgraded buster is a burden (two blasts merge for a spreading shot -- sounds good but it's not ultimately effective). I'm torn each time I play, because I DON'T want the upgraded buster, but I can't get the ultimate armor without it... Sucks.
The game's good, but it should never be considered the best! The game's old, so this review means very little, but I'm astounded when I see people praising this game so highly!
 X's Defining Moment July 2, 2008

If you've played a game in this series already, understand that the concept remains unchanged. And why stray from a winning formula? The price tag for this game is justified because of the advanced chips used in the cart as well as this title's status as a rarity (extremely hard to find). I own every title in the series and have to say that this one barley edges out the original and here's why.
X has the newfound potential to perform an upward thrusting jump once you've found the necessary component, the X armors are vastly improved, the upgrade capsules are well hidden (and sometimes frustratingly annoying to access), the game has more mini bosses than before, the music is ONCE AGAIN outstanding, and you get to control Zero for the first time (in dramatic fashion, as if to say...he has returned!). Need I say more? I never got the chance to complete this game because I actually got my hands on it later in my life when I didn't have too much time to play it. The game is pretty difficult as well, so if you found the previous two installments to be pretty easy as I did, this one is a worthy and engrossing challenge.
Time consuming but fun August 11, 2007
This game is a lot of fun I just saw a speed run of it one you tube in about 60 minutes. This kid was extradionary good at doggig the bosses attacks and knowing what weapons were more effective then otherss for quicker victotories. This kid beat all the bosses with only about 20 to 400 hits on the bosses excluding those used to take out the normal enemies. This game is fun but expect to die alot if you do not used cheats or passwords or you are able to find the ultra super weapon. There some lase like weapon that is hidden somewhere that literally takes down a whole boss gage with two hits if the strike range is close enough the boss does dodge it somehow. If you love the more traditonal and relastic mega man this is for you. For those of you that no longer I hgave working supernintendo You can get this on a mega man X collection in platstation 2 format for about 5 to 20 dollars if used and possibly if it does not have a super high positive rating of 96% or higher is in fair to like new and sometimes good condition. This game truely is and instany classic depsite the large amount of time to master. Thanks for reading this you go Mega Man!
One of the best games ever. October 12, 2006
This was my favorite of the Megaman X games. When it came out, my brother and I had so much fun with this game. The fact that you could finally play as Zero (even if it was pretty limited), and the idea that you could upgrade your armor not once, but twice, along with the super armor mech bodies you could find along the way was perfect. Megaman could get more and more powerful as the game progressed right up until the last series of stages. This game is the reason I'm going to buy the Megaman X collection for PS2. Good luck to the guys selling it for 250 bucks on here though. Hope that pans out for you.
best music ever July 18, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Mega Man X3 is quite possibly the best Mega Man X game ever made. The main thing that impressed me was the music. Now I know many of you say this game is to expensive and it is better to just buy the PS2 collection set but it is not. I have the original game and the collection set and in the collection set they changed all the music and sound effects in X3 which destroys the whole game. The music is the best part of X3. There are so many good songs but my favorite's are the Intro song, the ending song, the credits song after the ending song, gravity beetles song, cains song, toxic seahorses song, and the music when you first become zero in the first level. The only song in this game that isnt spactacular is blizzard buffalos music but other than that every song is good. Oh and to those of you that whine and say you can only get 5 of the 8 upgrades you are wrong there is a way to get all 8 parts but it's a secret.
