How do you get to Legion HQ4 in Megaman ZX Advent?

Is this game worth $20 if I thought Megaman ZX was only slightly better then average? Capcom gets a A for effort with the Metroidvania ripoff style layout but in the end failed at it.

Is it worth $20? Sure.. depends on what metric you're using to rate it I guess. I'm a big fan of Megaman games. While I think the ZX series is a bit overly complicated, compared to the older games... it's still fun. It's still a Megaman game at heart (even if they're using guns instead of mega busters).

I'll be honest. I don't love the ZX series... In my mind, Megaman Zero set a poor precedent for future games. One thing I don't like about ZX Advent is the strange weapons-matching structure. The basic premise is that fire beats water, water beats electricity, and electricity beats fire. Don't quote me on that though. Now here's the catch, there's a few weapons that don't match any of these structures. There's also multiple weapons per structure, for example I think there are 3 fire weapons. Some of the bosses don't have weaknesses, basically.. it's a little too complicated for me. I miss the old 8 weapon structure. That one made sense to me. There's all types of extra bullshit in this game too. Like missions that don't really mean anything... I don't know, I can't even say which one I like more, ZX or ZX Advent. ZX had the fucked up map but made a little bit more sense with the weapons structure. Also, ZX seemed to be more interesting in general.

I like the original and X series equally. I like the ZX and Zero series a bit less.
My favorite games are Megaman 2, Megaman 4, and Megaman X3.
 
That's the same problem I had with ZX and to a lesser extent MMZero. I know Capcom wanted to break out of the rut that the megaman games had gotten into which would normally be a good thing (see Resident Evil 4). The execution though left a lot to be desired. It seemed like they had all these ideas they wanted to try but didn't know how to fit it around the core game so just kinda threw everything together. I was really hoping they would figure out how to fit everything better for ZX Advent.

I'll go see if I can rent this from Blockbuster later. Does Play and Trade rent games? A new one opened by my workplace recently.
