Well...here we are once again. I never had high hopes for this game. I was sure from the beginning, that after the success of Megaman 9 Capcom would go berserk with their obsession to improve that which isn't broken and ruin everything.
Man was I a fool!

Sadly I can't get this, just yet anyway. My internet connection prevents me to use the lovely online-features of my PS3, so until I get better connections, the wait continues.
As I have no experience of my own on this game yet, I just throw these guys in order I think I'm going to kick their ass once I get the game.

1. Boss Theme
It seems like Capcom has found the golden way into this Megaman-fan's heart. MM9 had the best boss theme in the series, and now they come up with something that actually challenges it for the first place. I seriously don't know which I like better, but I love them both, that's for sure.

2. Commandoman
First, the robot master: at first I didn't like him. I just kept thinking "Searchman 2" and stuff like that...I still need to see this robot in action, but my thoughts on him have changed for the better ever since. I hope this is one hell of a villain.
The music is actually one of my favorites from this soundtrack. Gotta love!

3. Nitroman
Yeah...I'm still kinda negative about him. Most of you know what I think of Turboman, and I can't help but to think of that abomination when I look at Nitroman. First a racing car, and now they bring a motorbike as well. Enough with the transformers already! I just hope that my thoughts on him will change like they did with Commandoman. I just can't stand the idea of vehicle-based robot masters.
However, the music is good. The beginning is heavenly and solid Megaman-quality. At around 2:30 however it turns a bit for the worse I'm afraid. Not much, just a tiny bit. It felt like they were trying too hard. Still, very good.

4. Pumpman
Now the design on him is quite clever I'd say. He is like Diveman and Aquagi- I mean Aquaman combined, with a pump handle on his head. AWESOME!
The music is surprisingly dark. From what I've understood, his level is a sewer-based. That fits. It gives kinda "polluted toxic water"-like vibes. It works, even though it's not your ordinary water-based theme.

5. Strikeman
When I heard about the sports-related level, I was ready to headdesk myself to death thinking what the boss would be like. However I'm positively surprised. Sure he is a huge baseball with legs and hands, but the design is cool to say the least. I love the colors.
The theme is pretty happy and fitting. Nothing much to say. Not my favorite from this soundtrack, but great.

6. Blademan
Isn't it enough that he has two blade-hands, does he need a blade-head as well? Meh, now I'm just nitpicking. Besides, the sprite looks great! They should've made the head a bit wider on the picture as well.
The theme is one of my favorites. Something I could imagine to go with Knightman or the like. Spot-on Capcom.

7. Sheepman
This one has been damned to hell by a huge amount of people from the start, but he also has gotten a wide fanbase after the announcement of his name and especially the design. I'm gonna have to say I'm more of a fan than a hater. Just look at him! Adorably evil!
The theme also delivered. It's a good theme, a bit neutral though. I couldn't tell it's for electric boss without knowing it. Doesn't matter really, as long as it works, and this does.

8. Solarman
I was starting to wonder if Capcom was really gonna pass such an obvious, yet awesome idea as Solarman. I invented one after playing Megaman 4 the first time, not as cool as this, but it was still there. It was about time they created an official version too. I love his design, however the face of the sprite is a bit disappointing.
The theme sounds cool. Like Pumpman's, this has something very new to it, something no Megaman-game had before. It works. Desert-level is his, right?

9. Chillman
The winner of the best design stands as the last in our collection. Very cool looking, no pun intended.
The theme then...probably the best snow-theme in the series. Not the strongest point of ths soundtrack, but works.

10. Wily Capsule
Just a tiny bit of it. Sad to say that the Wily-section of this game is not nearly as good as the robot master-themes or castle themes. Maybe we get to them later.

Overall I like this soundtrack a lot, however I feel it's a bit inferior to Megaman 9's. They are still pretty equal and stand as a proof that Capcom hasn't lost its edge.
