Buena banda sonora en general, pero para un Mega Man es mediocre, me encanta el tema de la ride armor y el segundo de Lumine (de los mejores temas de jefes en la franquicia) , el resto solo esta bien

apparently optic sunflower is stationed in an aquatic life form

Some incorrect OST tracks is Rockman X Sound Box (X8 Disc).

Can any one confirm if these are real beta tracks?

Most tracks wrong, please Actual album ripped soon...

Dang this soundtrack goes hard very nice probably top 10 video game osts in existence let alone X series. I freaken love this soundtrack. My one grip is the normal boss theme which is just a mediocre extended mix of the main theme (lame) but Vile's bats*** slamming boss theme makes up for it in spades.

The soundtrack for this game is fairly decent. I don't think it has any bad tracks, and actually has some bops! Songs like Noah's Park, the Ride Armor theme, and Lumine's 2nd Phase battle them are great songs that have the perfect Mega Man X vibe to them. Other songs are good as well. Not every song is that good though. Some like Dynasty (Gigavolt Manowar) aren't that exiting. Overall, a decent soundtrack with some great songs. As for the game, it does a lot right. It controls well, brings in cool ideas like the swap-able armor parts for X, and a shop system that allows you to upgrade the hunters more freely. The navigator system has been greatly improved and allows you to chose what information you want during that stage. Each of the 3 hunters focusing on a different aspect. Alia for general information, Palette for finding secrets, and Layer for enemy patterns/weaknesses. The partner mechanic from X7 is back (one of that game's only positive contributions to the series), and Axl and X have been made more distinct from each other, so that Axl isn't just a weaker X like in X7, playing closer to Bass from the classic series.

That's about where the good stuff ends. The level design and secrets is where X8 fails hard. The stage design for the most part isn't good. Avalanche Yeti's stage is a ride chaser stage. It isn't to bad, but it can be hard to tell where you are landing and is rather slow. Plus, two secrets are at the end of the stage, requiring each character to be used to get them. So unless you know how to get them with exploits, you have to replay the stage. Gigavolt Manowar, another ride chaser stage, is slow and confusing. It also has no secrets so you don't have to come back. A lot of the stages can be described as pace breakers. Burn Roster has slow moving platform sections, Earthrock Trilobyte has you chasing a slow moving robot the whole thing, and as I mentioned before, Gigavolt Manowar especially. Not all the stages are bad though. Bamboo Pandemonium's stage is a more traditional Mega Man X stage. It features a more fast paced design, and the only use of a ride armor. (Coming with an epic theme of course!) Reminiscent of Magma Dragoon's stage in X4, you can bring the ride armor to the boss, but this is where the few problems with this stage start to show. Most secrets require the ride armor, which on it's own isn't to bad, but it is way to difficult and complicated to actually get the ride armor there. Most of the time the armor will fall of ledges because of convayer belts, or just get destroyed from damage. Another more solid stage with few problems is Dark Mantis's stage. You have to sneak around lights not to get caught, or enemies will attack you. It sounds like it would break the pacing, but the way it is set up makes it that you can go fast if you are careful and know what you're doing. The item game in this stage is annoying though once again. You have to copy a robot as Axl to get into a room, then power the generator with Gigavolt Manowar's weapon, which will make platforms at the end of the stage appear to get a Rare Metal.

Rare Metals, which I haven't mentioned yet, aren't direct upgrades, but allow new items to be purchased in the shop. Alternate weapons for Zero and other stuff like that. In the same room, you also need Earthrock Trilobyte's weapon as X to find a rare metal. There are many secrets that require this weapon and seem to be in random, undefined locations. So once again, X8's way to complicated item game starts showing though. Other stages like Gravity Antonian and Optic Sunflower are just meh. Gravity Antonian has a gravity flipping mechanic that is fun I guess, and Optic Sunflower has a challenge type level, that can just be cheesed with Zero's lance weapon. Overall the stage design for X8 rarely gets good. That is honesty where the game falls apart. It had so much going for it, but alas. The story is fairly decent. The thing that makes it a win in my eyes is the exclusion of Sigma as the final boss. Lumine being your final opponent used the expectation of Sigma being the villain, like always, to its advantage.

In the end, X8 is a very flawed game. But the developers were defiantly onto something. Compared to the few games that came before, X8 was honestly a promising title. Showing that the devs were starting to step up their game and get back into the grove of things. All too late though, as X9 was never made. But if it had been, I think it would have been a solid title, or at least good. I didn't mean to make this into an essay about X8, but I guess I just like this game and talking about it. Well, my hands hurt from typing.

This game is love it or hate it. As for the soundtrack, it's not really anything special. I like Primrose and Lumine's 2nd Phase theme, but that's about it.

Mega Man X8's soundtrack is meh. Most of the theme songs are forgettable or are just basic video game music. My favorites are bamboo pandamonium, Vile's theme, The Boss theme, The Jakob Orbital Elevator, and Lumine's 2nd form. As for the game itself, it's good and fun. The stages are good besides Burn Rooster, Gigabolt Man-O-War, and Optic Sunflower. I hate Burn Rooster because it's long, boring, and uninteresting. (I only died once at the beginning and the stage wasn't as hard as I remembered it). I hate Gigabolt Man-O-War because it's a pain to keep up with him in order to shot him down. If you know what to do, then it basically isn't a level. I hate Optic Sunflower because all you do is fight enemies in a variety of different ways. But you get to fight Cut Man if you do it perfectly, so that somewhat fixes the problem of the stage being boring. The Armors are great and unlike X7, there's more then one armor again. You also get the benefits of the armor upgrade as soon as you find it instead of having to have the full set. You can also mix and match whatever armor upgrade you want with a different armor set. Oddly enough, Mega Man X8 has religious references. The first level is Noah's Park, Sigma's design is literally the devil, Lumine's 2nd form looks like a angel, and the subtitle for Lumine's 2nd form is lost paradise. I'm not saying it's a problem, but I'm just saying. Honestly, I think it's kinda cool. Mega Man X8 introduces two new navigator's, Layer and Palette. By the way, Alia is still around. Each navigator helps you in different categories such as Boss patterns, hidden items, etc. If you don't want any navigators to assist you, you can go into the stage by yourself. The team up mechanic from Xtreme 2 and X7 returns, but they made it even better. You can do a ultimate attack (I forgot the name of it) when the attack meter is full and it does a good amount of damage. I mainly use it on bosses I have a hard time with or when I'm low on health. Speaking of the bosses, most of them are challenging and fun. When they run low on health, they'll use their own ultimate attack. Some of them can drag on for a while, but for the most part, the bosses are great. As for the playable characters, they fixed zero and he's fun to use again. You don't have to unlock X like you did in X7 (Who thought that was a good idea). They made Axl unique, but compared to X and Zero he isn't as useful as them. His copy shot still f*cking sucks like in X7. You can also unlock female characters of them (Alia is X, Layer is Zero, and Palette is Axl). However, they are very expensive, so unless if you have nothing better to do or if you don't have a life, have fun getting them all. Lastly, instead of finding sub tanks and heart tanks, you buy them from a shop with metals. (By the way, the only way to get sub tanks is getting rare metals in stages). As for the story, this is the first X game and so far the only X game where Sigma isn't the main villain or the secret villain. Overall, Mega Man X8 is a good game with a mediocre soundtrack.
Soundtrack: 5.1/10.
Game: 6.3/10.

Mega Man X8's Soundtrack Is Really Boring and Duel Like Mega Man 5, Mega Man 8, X2, & X5. But X8 Is a huge Plus From X5-X7 In Gameplay And Quality But A Bit Of The Levels Suck And Drag for too long. The Soundtrack:3/10. Game:5.9/10.
