The Completionist[]
Jirard reviewed Mega Man Legends for the tenth episode of The Completionist.
Jirard notes that the graphics haven't aged well, but were impressive for an early PS1 game. However, he's very fond of the voice acting, and considers it one of his favorite parts of the game.
On the other hand, Jirard finds the controls to be clunky, and take some time to get used to. He also wishes the game had a lock-on and shoot mechanic. He also finds gathering money tedious. Though he finds the upgrades and shop system satisfying.
