Mega Man Battle Network Critic Reviews

If you like Megaman, RPGs, Action, or Adventure games in the slightest, I highly recommend it.

There's a lot more gameplay in MMBN than in most GBA games combined. Strategy/RPG fans will surely love it, and I think most other gamers will, too.

Though its not the classic Mega Man we all know and love, it is a very good design with very little to dislike...other than the fact that this isn't a "true" Mega Man game.

All in all, combat is very easy to learn, but difficult to master -- and yet very satisfying.

If there's something that might hold you back from enjoying the game, it's the lighthearted and somewhat goofy story. However, the game doesn't take itself too seriously, so neither should you.

Although the game features a lot of action sequences, it’s really an RPG at heart. However, what makes this game unique is the battle system. It combines a turn based fighting system with a real time one. Did that make sense to anyone?

While the gameplay of Mega Man Battle Network is excellent, what fascinated me most was the world in which the game took place.

This radical departure adds a level of depth to the series as a whole - MM fans should pick it up out of loyalty - anyone who's not a hardcore fan should let this one settle back into the big blue.

Where Mega Man Battle Network fails is that it can too often venture into the realms of monotony with a relatively unexciting setting that may be a bit too ingrained by Pokemon culture to stand out.

As much as I like the action-oriented battle system, random enemy encounters are far too frequent.
