Overall: 9

This game is overall, a great game. I think you will enjoy playing through it a few times, and I do believe that you will play through it at least once. You'll almost immediately get into it, in my opinion. I like the new features they've added, for instance, you can choose from different weapons in this game, unlike previous games where you could only use the Mega-buster, or the Z-saber. This game let's you choose between 4 weapons, and you can change them at any time during game-play. But overall, this game is a great game, like I said.

Graphics: 7

The graphics of this game are adequate. They're not the best graphics I've ever seen on the GBA, but they're okay. I believe you'll like the neat environments and the smooth animation. Inticreates (The creators of the Mega-man Zero series) did a pretty good job with this game's graphics. I personally didn't like them all too much. But that's just me. You may like them a lot. Overall, this game's graphics are pretty good. Inticreates didn't do a bad job.

Sound: 6

I personally didn't like the sound too much in this game. The songs were repetitive, and they were played again in different stages. I did, however, like the sounds that were made that weren't the music. Such as the sounds of your Z-buster. They were pretty good. But like I said, the music in this game was too repetitive, and they put the same songs in different stages. But you may feel differently about this game's sound. I personally found it to annoying. But overall, this game's sound is not bad.

Addictiveness: 8

I think you'll probably play through this game a couple times. Especially since they added a new feature. You can restart the game with all the items you had at the end of the game, except certain items, making you unstoppable. The storyline itself will make you want to play through it a few times, because this game has a good storyline. But overall, this game's addictiveness is, in my opinion, pretty addictive. You'll want to play this game for a little while.

Story: 7

This game's storyline was pretty good. What I liked about this game's story was that there were plot twists. Most other Mega-man games are predictable. This game is also pretty predictable, most of the time, but you'll like the storyline in this game much more than other Mega-man games. Another thing I like about this game's storyline is that it literally leads into the second game in the series, unlike the games in the Mega-man classic series, and the Mega-man X series, where almost every game had little to nothing to do with each other. Overall, this game's storyline is really good, and will make you want to play through the other 3 games in this series.

Depth: 8

You'll spend a good amount of time on this game. They've added a new feature from previous installments in the franchise, where you can obtain these little creatures called cyber elves, and they can do various tasks for you. Some of them can help you fight enemies, some of them give you more health, like the heart tanks in the Mega-man X series. So, if you want to truly beat the entire game, you'll have to spend a good amount of time finding all of these cyber elves, because they're located basically anywhere in the game. The storyline of this game will take you 4-6 hours average. Overall, this game has a pretty big depth. You'll spend a little while playing this.

Difficulty: 6

Surprisingly, this game is more difficult than most other games in the Mega-man franchise. There will be times during game-play when you'll want to rip your hair out. But I guess this game isn't too hard. Then there will be parts where you'll fly right through with little to no trouble. Believe it or not, I believe the first part of the game is much harder than the last parts. Your opinion may differ. Overall, this game isn't too difficult. Like I said, you'll want to rip your hair out at some parts, and other parts, you'll fly right through.

Wrap things up:

This game is, overall, a great game. You'll spend a decent amount of time playing it, you'll get right into the story, and you'll probably play through it again. The graphics of this game are pretty good, the sound could be better, but the other features of this game definitely make up for it. I believe you'll love this game. I know I did.
