    I have no idea why game reviews rate this game so low. The game series especially this are definitely an average of an 8. The MMBN Series has always been an amazing underrated series that has been overshadowed by Pokemon. Now don't get me wrong I've bought and played and loved every Pokemon game up to Moon. The same complaints put here could be applied to many Pokemon games that existedI have no idea why game reviews rate this game so low. The game series especially this are definitely an average of an 8. The MMBN Series has always been an amazing underrated series that has been overshadowed by Pokemon. Now don't get me wrong I've bought and played and loved every Pokemon game up to Moon. The same complaints put here could be applied to many Pokemon games that existed throughout the years and many of them have and up to Moon received many of them. Many of the reviews claim the graphics are of 4 years ago. Well it was 2006 and a handheld at the end of its life, the GBA SP. So honestly can it. Pokemon's graphics didn't really super heavily until the DS era and it didn't really hit until X and Y. Which is when MMBN went to Starforce.

    The battle system is good and forces you to actually be good at the game and have a strategy not just button mash A until something faints. You have to actually come up with a strategy with your chip folders throughout the series, from PA's to others. As well as your Navi Customizer. Each Chip has 4 different variants and allows you if smart and crafty enough to use all 5 in a window at once if you know what you're doing.

    The story is actually enticing throughout the series. It is the finishing of the story and its worth the play. However, you definitely should play previous games in the series. If you don't care about the story which is weird if you don't its an RPG really, then just jump right in. Even in 2016 games these days don't compare to the amazing stuff the old games give.

    Overall, don't listen to the people who put down here that much didn't change. Much hasn't needed to in this game series to begin with. Enjoy it and have fun because that's what games are for. It could've been No Man's Sky.

    both versions are good even though i prefer this one, this is the best balance in power i have seen between two versions of battle networkwhile maintaining individual advantages. I like the new characters and navi's,it's a great way to finish this series. I cannot wait for megaman ZX as well!

    Despite there being some room for improvement, I have no problem calling Mega Man Battle Network 6 the series' best entry yet. [Aug 2006, p.86]
  2. The graphics reek of four years ago, and animation is horrible.
  3. For anyone that poured their heart into any of the last two or three games, however, Mega Man Battle Network 6 definitely comes across as been there, done that.
