X7? Well, I liked it, and it's only everything after Sigma appears to fight you that's disturbing.
On the other hand, I haven't encountered too many other people who liked X7.
As for Command Mission, I found it enjoyable, and Rafflesian is an optional boss (although if you don't beat her, you can't get X's Ultimate Armor Hyper, and Ninetails will be a bigger pain in the butt than he already was). And if you do decide to beat her, you can always opt to stay the hell away from Axl's Rafflesian transformation (it's honestly only about as useful as the Mad Nautillus transformation, which is worthless).

Where are these lemmings going? The
Super Nintendo Super Shire! Hop in line and follow them there!
