If X4 were to be summed up in one word, that word would have to be 'wheeee'! X4 definately ranks up as one of my faves. Cool story (although quite a few plot holes litter it), cool characters (except for Iris, I want to pummel her), neato anime scenes, music that fits each stage perfectly, and so on and so on. And the voices are actually kinda cool! I was scared that Capcom was gonna chop them, but they did a good job. In fact, I prefer the characters' US voices to their Japanese ones...yes, even X's girlish voice. :) In RMX4, he sounds like he's on steroids. :P Take a good listen at Colonel. :) Actually, a few of the reploids have British accents. It's quite neat.

The anime cut scenes are entertaining and help the story along. They're surprisingly violent with quite a bit of blood. Most of the blood, however, seems to come from reploid victims. Now why the reploids bleed red blood is totally beyond me. Sweet mysteries of life. I'm pretty sure that's the only reason X4 maintained a K-A rating; if the blood had been sprurting from humans instead, a 'T' rating would have been on that box faster than you could say 'OH MY GOD, THEY KILLED SIGMA!'. :P

For your (dis?)pleasure, Memorial Hall will inform poor schmucks who don't posses a PSX or Saturn (I'm not being mean! I WAS PSX-less for ages. I had to work my ass off for two summers in a row to earn my N64 and PSX!) about certain areas of X4. Take heed, there are nasty spoilers ahead!!
