    With loads of action and old adventure, Megaman and Bass is also a game with plenty of depth and replay value to it. So fans of the mighty Blue Bomber rejoice and grab this game with no hesitation.

    Hardcore Mega Man fans (or anyone else looking for a great, challenging action game) should seize this opportunity to take the blue bomber back to his old-school roots.

    Unless you're completely worn out on the series, you'll find this to be one of the best action games on the GBA. [Apr 2003, p.132]

    It represents Mega Man doing what he does best-beating bosses with cool themes, collecting their weapons, and overcoming well-designed levels that are difficult…but not stupidly-super-frustratingly difficult.

    Easier than "Mega Man Zero" but harder than most of the NES titles.

    For me, it's the depth of a game that keeps me playing it for hours and not setting the difficulty so high that you are forced to spend hours just repeating a level. I know, Capcom traditionally makes Mega Man games tough, but at some point a game has to be fun to play as well.
  7. GameSpy

    Anyone hoping this long dormant series to be reborn will be sorely disappointed. Anyone that hasn't tried a Mega Man game yet would be better advised to spend $15 on a new copy of "Mega Man 8" on the PSOne.

    This is a really really good Mega Man game, with spot on music, graphics, level design, replayability, everything is in line with this game.This is a really really good Mega Man game, with spot on music, graphics, level design, replayability, everything is in line with this game. My only gripe is the difficulty, which is a given in Mega Man games, but this is still one of the harder ones. Many great things, like 2 playable characters with branching stories, absolutely amazing music, great graphics, awesome level design, and overly great gameplay, make this one of the best Mega Man experiences you can have. One of the best things as well, is as you play through the game, and replay more levels with more power ups, you collect disks, which unlock a library, which includes art work, bios, creators, likes and dislikes ect. of over 100 Mega Man robots, wether they be allies, or villains, or even Thomas Light and D.R Wily! That was one of my favorite things about this game. This is a port from the game rock man and forte, the japanese release for the super famicom that never made it out here. This is one of, if not the best Mega Man expierience you can have on the GBA.… Expand

    Mega Man & Bass, ou Rockman & Forte na versão de super famicom é um jogo bem legal e bonito só que de vez em quando o jogo é bem difícil,Mega Man & Bass, ou Rockman & Forte na versão de super famicom é um jogo bem legal e bonito só que de vez em quando o jogo é bem difícil, assim sendo pior para jogadores novatos e jornalistas do IGN USA que costumam jogar jogos mais fáceis, mas mesmo assim é um bom jogo e merece ser jogado mesmo com seus defeitos.
    (Lembrando não sou um profissional, essa foi minha humilde opinião sobre o jogo, e sim o IGN USA não sabe falar de jogos pois deu 10/10 para jogos ruins como Devil may cry 2 enquanto deram nota 3/10 para o Sonic Unleashed xbox 360 mesmo sendo um jogo infinitamente superior).    … Expand

    Throwing a Spanner in the works. Mega Man and Bass is half fun, and Half Irritating, the fun half is taking out the 8 robot masters, theThrowing a Spanner in the works. Mega Man and Bass is half fun, and Half Irritating, the fun half is taking out the 8 robot masters, the irritating half is taking out the final castle, which is so cheap, that I very nearly rage-quit. The first level King 1 is ok, nothing too bad, I can beat it, King 2 is a nightmare with 4 boss fights, the first is extremely boring, the second, if you beat it you were lucky, the third is easy, and the fourth is just slightly easier than the second, and the third level is long but still fun. But apart from that the eight robot master levels are really fun, but make sure you prepare for the increased difficulty. Comparing the GBA port to the original Japanese SNES release, do anything you can to play the SNES release, you can't see anything in the GBA port due to the screen being super zoomed in, making for a less fun experience. Use an emulator if you have to, just play the SNES release.… Expand
