Rockman is certainly aptly named with a difficulty level to make those used to more modern difficulty curves run for the hills. Yet like a good kung fu master Rockman 7 offers tough loving and, thanks to Capcom dedication to style, it leaves players only blaming their gaming technique rather than any flaws in the coding. Rockman has been awarded a faithful friend in the shape of a robotic dog here and boy does he need him. Underwater levels change the dynamics of the jumps, just as when players think they have a good grasp of the feel of the fair physics of his jumps. And a precise understanding of his abilities is a must to make it through the crumbling city scapes and disappearing platforms. Tough, but always fair. A Capcom cracker. Knuckle down and show a bit of old fashioned vim and vigour.
