Evilhorde is right. This would be a bitchin' ringtone: but as a piece of music it doesn't find the medium between high and low fi. It seems stuck in between both with a less than desirable outcome.
Arrangement-wise it's not bad at all, but nothing that really threw me for a loop, or a "let's hear that again" moment.

Mixes that do stuff unexpected with the source tune are always great.

A very unique little piece. I'm pretty sure I have to like it a lot but I'm still having difficulty understanding it since I've never heard anything quite like it before.

The pitch effect used, I suppose it's best called 'fast interval scales' or something... it goes hand in hand with the chiptune vibe you're using, but is also so prevalent that it quickly makes for, almost, a new instrument all together.

Very puzzling, exactly what I look for in a mix... and of course, great source tune.

Indeed. AeroZ has played with the original melody much, adding some new twitches and sudden changes in the rhytm and pace. Fun to listen to, but as CW stated before, if it's a keeper or not is a question I'm divided at.

.....

Nah, I'll just take it. Nice stuff, Aero to the Z. Now fetch me one who is too cold for Iceman.

I've gotta say man, i usually dont review many OCRemixes (even though i really have been meaning to do it more :)) but this mix has to be one of the funnest mixes ive heard in a long time. Just really lighthearted and doesnt take the source too seriously, just fun as hell. Good job and the ending is a really cool effect.

I have to say, this is pretty interesting and unique bit of music to listen to, I can't think of anyway else to describe it beyound "This is crazy?"

That said, I rather enjoy it.

I enjoyed this for the most part, some of the sound effects going on behind the melody were a bit annoying, but the track would've most likely been too empty without them. Nice interplay between multiple lead voices otherwise. Interesting stuff, though I definitely agree on its suitability for mobile phone usage.

I'm not a fan of Megaman...

but damn if this isn't an awesome video game remix. Quite a few of the recent uploads just aren't to my liking, but I listened to this one, I knew I had a keeper. I really enjoy it, very catchy, very upbeat, just great.
