    Great graphics, great story, great sound, and great replay value (as it will take many tries to get every Elf, and many tries to get a perfect rank).

    If you are a fan of the series you will eat this one up because it’s not a port. Instead, it’s a good original game of the Mega Man saga that will take you ten to twenty hours to beat. However, it will definitely frustrate those who are not good at games or someone that does not like hard games.

    There’ll be times when you curse it for being so tough, but when you do get anywhere the feeling of elevation is immense.

    Zero avoids the funk that has been plaguing the recent Mega Man platform titles. [Sept 2002, p.48]

    Mega Man Zero's developers hit the right note and the ensuing drama lends a sense of urgency to the action.
