A few nights ago, I coughed. Someone said "Hey,are you speaking in Star Trek??? Because I don't understand Star Trek???" which leads to this:
MEGAMAN STARFORCE 3
Megaman Starforce 3 is the third title in the Megaman Starforce series, and adds on to the same type of gameplay which has kept people at it for years. Basically, you have to save the world from an evil organization battling viruses and enemy "wizards" (robots) by shooting your buster or utilizing "chips".

Story: 8/10 - The story starts out slow, and kind of ridiculous, (saving a science club rocket from a sprinkler gone haywire), but gets better, inevitably ending with a great way to end the series (although they'll probably make more). You are a boy named Geo Stelar and you have apparently made friends with EM aliens, and is able to "wave change" into Megaman. After a series of "wizards" go haywire, you find out that this is the work of Dealer, which collects "Crimson" created by haywire wizards producing "Noise", and are trying to shoot a meteor at the Earth.
Gameplay: 9/10: The gameplay is simple enough, yet addictive. You battle on a 3 x 5 grid, which although is pretty large, the drawback is that you are only able to move left and right. You battle viruses (ranging from black blobs in hardhats with pick axes to spiders with hammers) and bosses. You are able to utilize a vast amount of chips, of which there are three types, Standard, Mega and Giga. There are even "illegal" chips obtained by collecting "Noise" in a battle. Halfway through the story, you gain "Noise Changes", a change which affects Megaman, granting him new ablities, and elemental strengths and weaknesses.
Sound: 7/10 - The sound is good but the big letdown here is that there isn't a huge variety of it. The sound matches the area, if you're in a boss zone, quick suspense music plays, when you're in a mall, jovial, electronic music plays.
Graphics - 9/10 - The graphics are great and there are two styles in this game: one is sprites when you're moving around, and one is 3D when you're in a battle. The graphics match each area to its best.
Replayablity - 9/10 - Once you've won the game, there are still tons of stuff for you to do. There are three extra bosses whem you win the game, you can re-battle bosses, collect rare chips, and fight the final boss again.
Overall - 8/10 - Megaman Starforce 3 adds something new to this classic series, the ablity to Noise Change, and the collecting of illegal chips will provide a new take on this great series, and will keep fans wanting more. Overall, this series is great but the story is confusing, you won't understand it until you've played the first two.
