Binding: Video Game EAN: 0013388280094 ESRB Age Rating: Everyone Label: by Nintendo Manufacturer: by Nintendo Platform: Game Boy Advance Publisher: by Nintendo Studio: by Nintendo Accessories: Editorial Review: Amazon.com Review: Fans of Mega Man side scrollers, rejoice--Mega Man Zero has finally come to the GBA. It may be the best Mega Man game designed on any platform, even though it doesn't exactly star Mega Man himself. Mega Man Zero has basic Mega Man gameplay, though there are some notable differences. Zero can run, jump, dash, shoot, and swing a sword like Mega Man, but now he can also slide down the sides of walls and jump from wall to wall like Jackie Chan. Despite the fancy new moves, be warned: This is probably the most difficult Mega Man game ever made. Zero can't duck, nor can he shoot above or below himself. This makes fighting the many, many enemies difficult--especially when they approach from various angles. While a side-scrolling action game, Mega Man Zero has definite role-playing game elements. For starters, Zero's skills improve over time. As Zero uses the sword, he will eventually be able to make double--and subsequently triple--attacks. Between missions, Zero can explore the resistance base, talk to people, and "download" various skills via the new Cyber Elf system. There are 70 Cyber Elves scattered throughout the game, and they're broadly lumped into three groups: Nurse Elves that heal, Hacker Elves that alter surroundings, and Animal Elves that boost Zero's abilities. Zero can even feed his Cyber Elves, and increase their power. In some ways, the graphics of this game surpass the Mega Man games for the PlayStation. There are some outstanding anime cutscenes, the levels are well designed, and the sprites are tight and amazingly detailed. For looks alone, you should buy this game. The sound isn't as stellar, but adds good ambience. --Bryan Karsh Pros:

 Rating:  - A step in the right direction.This isn't even funny. In early 2000, after seeing yet another MegaMan X game come and go, I said to a friend, "they should just fuse MegaMan and Zero together and let that be the game from now on. JUST DO IT ALREADY!". A few weeks later, I read on a site about this game right here, MegaMan Zero. Someone was listening, and got to it quick. And while they still managed to name the game incorrectly since you play as Zero...and he looks like Spider-Man, Capcom did everything right for the most part. ... Read More Rating:  - An honest attempt to revive a dying series...Mega Man fans have had it tough over the last few years, with the obvious decline of the original Mega Man series and the once great Mega Man X series (although Mega Man X Command Mission was one of the more recent brighter spots). To me, Mega Man Zero is an attempt by Capcom to resurrect the classic Mega Man X gameplay that was lost soon after Mega Man X4. After X4, the series began to seriously suffer as it seemed Capcom just made sequels just for the sake of making them. Read More Rating:  - An excellent addition to Mega Man titlesMega Man Zero is, in my opinion, an excellent game. It expands on the story of a favorite Mega Man sidekick, Zero. This game has a plot that features an evil X, it is continuously changing, and lots of cool enemies and bosses are in the game. Along Zero's journey, you will encounter bosses such as: - X's Four Guardians - a giant elephant - a monkey that makes miniature clones of itself I really liked this game and the way that it still keeps several elements of the classic ... Read More Rating: - Mega Man Hero!To be truthful the Mega Man X series has started to become disappointing. Now capcom is giving us a new Mega Man series... but without Mega Man! How could this possibly work? By putting in one of the most loved characters from the Mega Man X series of course! For those who don't know (and I certainly hope you do know this!), Zero was first introduced in the very first Mega Man X way back in 1993. He has since become one of the most beloved characters in video games and now he gets a game all ... Read More Rating: - Short Precise ReviewPlease take note about some people saying the game is hard. It doesn't necessarily mean it will be hard for you. If you're use to megaman, than getting use to zero would be simple. The game, in my opinion, was fun, challenging at the early stages until I upgraded and become too powerful for my own good, and simple and easy to understand. Finding the elfs is fun and simple, the game play is fun and simple, simple as that. That is why this game is so effective and successful in my opinion of "great games". If ... Read More |
