Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Megaman Battle Network 3 has a few significant improvements over the past two games in the series, but the overall concept is the same. Lan solves puzzles in the "real world," while Megaman.exe fights viruses and solves puzzles on the Net. The battle system is still the same, and that isn't a bad thing--it is still the best live action battle system for any RPG on a handheld.

At this point in the story, it's been about a month since Lan and Megaman's encounter with the nefarious Net Mafia Gospel, and a new semester at school is about to start. When Lan and his classmates are invited to the seemingly innocent net battler Semi-Finals at ACDC Square, little do they know that a new, incredibly evil plan is about to be hatched!

The most exciting addition to the game, hands down, is that you can now make your own Megaman with segments of code that you gather throughout the game. Watch out, though: Do it badly, and you can get a buggy program. In addition to programming your own Megaman, you can still change Megaman's battle styles (just like in Battle Network 2). The end result is the best character creation system on a handheld.

In a homage to the Pokemon games, there is both a White and Blue version of Megaman Battle Network 3. The game is more or less the same, but there are unique cards, styles, and programs for each version--which makes trading and battling via link cable a real incentive.

In short, Megaman Battle Network 3 is one of the best RPG's for the GBA, and is appropriate for all ages. Fans of traditional Megaman games will also like the live action battles. –-Bryan Karsh

Pros:

• New Programming language lets you make your own Megaman
• White and Blue versions have unique cards, styles, and bosses

Cons:

• Graphics look a little stale--a rehash of the past two games

5.0 out of 5 stars MMBN3 a great blend of action and RPG, August 28, 2003

Mega Man Battle Network 3 is a very enjoyable experience for several reasons.

The most defining feature of the game has got to be the battle system. The battle layout is much like that of Final Fantasy Tactics in that you move the character (Megaman) around on a grid that may or may not have obstacles on certain squares. However, unlike FFT, MMBN3's battles are mainly in real-time, so you must be quite adept at the controls in order to be successful in battle. Also, the better you vanquish the enemy in battle, the better you are rewarded for it, which serves as a good incentive for you to try your best.

The graphics of the game are very enjoyable. Most of your character's surroundings in the game are interactive in some way which makes exploring the world very pleasurable. If you've ever played the game Earthbound, you'll become nastolgic after playing this game, because the graphics are very similar. In fact, much like the crew of characters in Earthbound, the characters in MMBN3 are very endearing to the player.

Another great feature of the game is the replayability of it. There are hundreds of different battle chips, several different ways of customizing Megaman, and several style changes. This allows you to play the game in many ways. In fact, after you beat the main game (a feat that I just accomplished after 24 hours of gameplay), there are still several new challenges for you to face.

If you like a blend between RPG and action games, buy this game and you won't be disappointed.

So have you heard about the new Megaman battle network 3 blue and white game? if you have played with the the previous battle network games i know you will like this one but for newcomers its a battling game where you play as Lan who has a fighting robot called megaman. Megaman can battle with power up chips. depending on whate chips you use megaman will turn a different color for instance blue megaman is super speedy but weak and yellow is slow but powerful. When you battle you earn new chips and become more powerful. The battling system is pretty similer to the previous games but that doesn't mean its no good it has some ausome new attack like marble shock. This game is definately worth the $money$. I have the japanese version and it rocks. I hope this review helped!!!!!

This game rocks. For new people this game is not with the classic MegaMan(RockMan in JAP.) Your Lan Hikari a net battler who has a net navi(net navigator) named MegaMan who works on a computer and battles viruses. You get chips to battle and you can combine some chips to make stronger chips. You even change styles from Heat, Aqua, Elec, wood, too... two others. you have to buy this game and white version to find out what they are.
Excited yet? You battle old bosses with new looks. SWEEEETTTT!!!!
So have fun and enjoy I now i will!!
