Official Score = 2 Devils[/caption]You know it is sad to see some of these truly amazing video game franchises, that in a lot of ways could be said to have helped make the video game industry what it is today, go the way that it has gone... What do I mean by this...
Well lets take, 'Contra'... This video game franchise which got it's start in 1987 was an amazing action packed video game, that I do truly believe helped to keep the, 'NES' going as one of the more popular video game systems of it's time... The last time a, 'Contra' game was made, it didn't even have the legendary name in it (the last one was, 'Hard Corps: Uprising' that came out in 2011.)
Another unfortunate example of this is the, 'Mega Man' series, which seems to have all but disappeared, but this series, for me personally was not only a video game series that helped keep me interested in Science Fiction in general, but the original video game itself helped keep me interested in video games themselves!
Unfortunately, 'Mega Man 3' (1990) was not that for me, but it does come from a great series!

Mega Man 3... Not bad... Not great...[/caption]Developed & Published by: Capcom for the NES, this game (which would be one of the last to be made for the, 'NES') told the story of how supposedly Dr. Wily has finally come to terms with his errors and ends up going back to work with Dr. Light, but when things start to go awry, and Dr. Wily decides to go evil again, Mega Man and his new dog, 'Rush' jump in to action to foil Dr. Wily's evil plot!

Mega Man is back in action and ready to stop Dr. Wily in this classic 1990s sequel in the immense video game franchise![/caption]In the end, the music for this game is good, the characters on this game are also good, and some people say that this game is, 'hard' to play... (The best games usually are...) The main problem with this game for me was the fact that the truest sign of a great game is in how often you would want to play it... And the truth is, is this game just doesn't have the same staying power that it's predecessors have!
In the end, it is not bad, it is just not great, and I hate to say it, but if you give it a try, you might find the same thing as well!
