If this counts for the entirety of the franchise , I ' ll just go with the Star Force series as a whole , Really good world building and storytelling , gameplay was streamlined from Battle NetworkNot quite as tactical , but makes up for it in greater speed and a focus on aggressive play . , but differed enough to have it ' s own identity , and improved on a lot of the BN series weaker aspects . They aren ' t perfect but the battle systems and aesthetics get better with each entry , and they did a great job bringing Mega Man into the world of online gaming , The 3 rd Star Force is arguably my favorite game in the franchiseclashes with X 4 and PoweredUp , everything in that felt polished to near perfection . I feel like the series as a whole differs from Battle Network to the point where it ' s worth a go even if you couldn ' t get into the former , and I ' ve always felt the series was far more accessible and welcoming to new players than it ' s predecessor was . As for Classic I think the most underrated one is 8 , fantastic visuals , great special weapons , varied level designs , a welcome shop full of neat upgrades that can actually alter Mega Man ' s playstyle a bit , It ' s a lot of fun and I honestly think people let the So bad it ' s good . voice acting get in the way of that far too often .
