Mega man Network battle games are amazing sense they started out though 1-3 where kinda the same 4-6 each having two versions of the game added even more, but the 6th & last game of this amazing series ends it all but in a way started a new game in its own way. You start out by Oh no leaving your home town & friends... I personally don't like that as you never see your old friends again but a brief email message here & there your new friends in your new city (that is very little & you can't enter any of the houses sadly) There just kinda blah. You only have 2 main friends now one that is the chip store only in the real world & another (mic) who is kinda a whinny baby for the most part lol. You never battle either of them nor do they have big part playing navi or even custom navi just the normal ones with different colors that's it. I personally do love this game even thou it seems like am hating I'm not I just enjoyed the old town & fighting your friends that grew stronger as the game went on. You do have four other places that you visit on your quests throughout the game so its not that its all that short of a game by any means. The new giga chips mega chips(custom to each version of the game) are really cool The PA system is really amazing more needed in the none gergar version not to say the gergar version is better just easier in a sense as its more just base power kill type game as the other one is more technique and skill to win the real hard battles. Its a childhood favorite just like Pokémon or dragon ball Z. The new way they have that you run into the navi that you battle are really neat and cool, most are not evil just teaching you something. The navicost is amazing if you can learn how to master it ( I know I was super powerful 100% because of learning how to master the new navicost) The new cross system is also very very amazing where you can mix your learnt navi skills with your monster cyrbeast to get even larger bonus's to your skills & certain chips in the game truly equine & very fun if you get into it. Also kinda need for the big boss battles if your lacking on some uber chips. Well I've talk way to much lets get to the rating
Graphics I gave a 10/10 because for the time they are the best GBA had to offer if you ask me. They didn't cut corners three's no lag or anything in bigger on screen attacks just looks really nice for such a old game. Even still good today if you ask me.
Sound I give a 10 it can get a bit annoying after your 1000th battle but at that point maybe you should take a break anyways lol
Addictiveness easily a 10 as am still playing it again for a you tube walk through right now enjoying it even though I've beat it 100% over 6 times & played to the end countless other times as I have some other MM battle network games also
Story I give a 10 simply as its new, its not like the other storey's in the history of MM Battle network with a twist ending I won't be giving away for anyone that may not have played it before.
Depth 10 As even after you beat the very well put together story theirs still more to do & get. Though sadly after you get 100% of everything you have a want for harder battle that just can't be given you can battle the last storyline boss again & again though if you like to try to beat your records but if you really want it to be harder I say simply place the other version of the same game just as amazing just a bit harder.
Difficulty I'll give it a 8 I personally find it easy but I'm a long time player of the games if your new some of the boss's may be hard not the story line ones but there extras Most hard being Bass the most OP monster in the game (that you can battle really early into the game if you know how if you want look up mu you tube walk through or email me I can show you how though its very very very hard & suggests for pro players only.) Also that after you beat any boss they come back stronger a few times with more attacks more health more everything.
Overall I give it 10/10 because its freaking mega man & the game rules Play it
