  1. 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.

    Looks remarkably similar to the 32-bit "Mega Man 8," which will make you wonder why all handheld games don't look this good. [Mar 2003, p.54]
  3. 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.
  4. 85
    This game still has that "I know I can do it this time..." element that keeps players coming back, and when a game keeps you riveted to the system until you've completed the challenge, you know it's good.
  5. Electronic Gaming Monthly
    85
    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]
  6. If you have ever quit playing a game because you couldn't beat it, then Megaman and Bass may not be for you, as there is really no way to make the game easier.
  7. Game Informer

    Offers everything a solid action title needs. Unless you're burnt out on Mega, you can't go wrong. [Mar 2003, p.91]
  8. Nintendo Power

    Firmly planed in the blue bomber's action-packed side-scrolling past. [Apr 2003, p.80]
  9. Pocket Games

    Had Bass been added to the Megaman series years ago, it might not have run out of steam. [Summer 2003, p.44]
  10. 80
    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.
  11. Play Magazine
    80
    It may be predictable, but it's fun. [May 2003, p.60]
  12. Easier than "Mega Man Zero" but harder than most of the NES titles.

    (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).
