Does Mega Man PU really suck?

Does Mega Man Powered Up really suck as much as Dave says?  I've heard uniformily good things from other sources.  (I saw it for $10 a few weeks ago, but held myself back after reading his review.)

No way. It isn't the best Mega Man game, but it is a nice, fun game that is a great update to Mega Man 1. There are two new bosses... while I found them a bit lame, they're nice to have. Three difficulty levels are included (Easy, Normal and Hard) which is a nice thing to have. But the biggest addition is the characters.

There are a grand total of FOURTEEN playable characters! Mega Man (and two revisions- Slide and Charge), Roll, the eight robot masters, Proto Man and Rock (Mega Man without armor. He kicks things.) This adds a bunch to the replay value.

Another large addition is challenge mode. Each character has ten challenges which play off their abilities. Mega Man's are mostly jumping and avoiding and some collection ones, but Ice Man's has to do with his ability to freeze enemies and water. Fire Man's deal with his ability to melt ice. Etc etc.

There's also a level creator, though I haven't dabbled much in it.

So, overall? I picked it up for $40 and thought it was well worth that price. $10 is a STEAL.

In fact, I believe there was some controversy over the VGC's decision...

The critic was dead wrong on this review.  I would give the game a B+, its an awesome remake of the original Mega Man, well worth 10 dollars.   If you are a fan of Megaman, you must own it.

Whoops... only twelve playable characters. I must have counted Mega Man S(lide) and C(harge) as well. They exist, but I wouldn't say they're big enough additions to be considered extra characters.

Also about the level creator, supposedly you can download levels off the internet for it.  I haven't brought my PSP online, so I can't give you the details.  But I do hear that someone remaked the original Super Mario Bros for it.
