    A space-themed central story gives the game greater scope than its predecessors. [Aug 2004, p.123]

    The RPG-style fights are uninspiring, and the storyline is simplistic. Still, the graphics are bright and inviting, with menus that are easily navigable. [June 2004, p.138]

    It's difficult to dismiss the overlying cuteness and simple-but-solid gameplay, which continues to put the series on the top tier of portable RPGs.

    The story is lifeless, and the circa-2001 graphics and audio just don't cut it anymore.

    This iteration still hasn't fixed the one problem that's been plaguing the series since its inception: snooze-inducing level design. Another decent entry in the series, but nothing more. [June 2004, p.73]

    It's time for a change.

    A great Megaman introduction for beginners. But owners of its forerunners will struggle to find enough new features to warrant upgrading.

    Fans of the Battle Network series will delight in the further adventures of Lan and Mega Man, but everyone else is warned to stay clear. [Aug 2004, p.78]

    I hate to see a series like Mega Man degenerate into some kind of Pokemon rip-off. At this point, Mega Man doesn't even have the credibility of Yu-Gi-Oh, in my opinion.

    Red Sun isn't as polished as the rest of the series. The game requires a few too many needless quests to get the meat and potatoes : the Net Battles.
