    [It's] not going to compete with the likes of Zelda or "Breath of Fire." It does, however, provide a friendly role-playing experience with familiar characters in a setting that is easy to navigate.

    Deceptively engaging.

    This remolding of the classic action hero was a big departure from the traditional action the series was built on, and stood as a highly enjoyable, solid, and creative game worth getting into.

The story is gripping in the way it makes you want to not put it down, there's lots of areas to explore and the combat is still fun as ever. I really love the dialogue in these games, and the way it changes with what is currently happening. It's fun to find all the different places you can jack Mega Man into, hanging with the cool cast of characters. It genuinely is fun and makes you laugh through out. The graphics are awesome considering the era this dropped (GBA) Lan is a pretty kick *** little eleven year old. Man saves the universe from peril constantly in ways the adults can't even do.… Full Review »

Everything about it just blew me away from the graphics to the vast ammount of secrets to discover...When I got Battle Network 2 I was blown away for a second time because while the menus seemed a bit dated, it had something the other games lacked. While quality dialogue and character development are lacking, this is aimed at a younger audience that doesn't really look for that stuff. I pretty much spent the better part of a year and a half perfecting this game and I completed it 100%. I was 13, and now I'm 19 and still playing it on an emulator, reliving every glorious moment. It shows how good a game is when it's just as fun as you remember it all those years ago!… Full Review »
