    A no-holds-barred shoot-a-thon that'll give its audience exactly what it wants - even more punishing robot chaos. [Dec 2004, p.164]

    The short levels, enormously goofy bosses, and the typical scenarios are just what the Mega Man fan ordered. The game is super-sized with new weapons and character actions.

    If you're unfamiliar with the series then the bombardment of characters and names that will greet you could be a little intimidating, but if you just push the veil of the complex storyline aside, it's simply a good, solid platform game like its predecessor and a fine example of the genre.

    The problem with the game isn't the level design or the gameplay both are brilliant. It is just that the game is too much of the same. [JPN Import]

    I feel that this game is definitely well above average, but it's lack of freshness and high frustration level that keep it from getting a higher score.

    Mega Man Zero 3 is not really a new game, it's the result of a refinement process based on a popular gameplay style. If you can't seem to get enough of Mega Man Zero 3 will satiate your hunger.

    While Zero is still a sweet character, this game is just too much of the same, and virtually inaccessible to anyone who doesn't want to memorize every inch of it. [Oct 2004, p.147]

    And again, boss encounters are both overwhelming and plodding. [Nov 2004, p.127]

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. There is so much to do and unlock here. The action is nonstop, and the graphics are incredible for a Game Boy Advance title, and the additions of mod cards that allow the game to be altered (such as the Z-Saber doing more damage and cats appearing at the Resistance Base) is original.… Full Review »
