This game is the end of sidescrolling and the beginning of action/RPG for Mega Man. You play as Lan and his PET, or Navi, Mega Man. Lan lives in the Real World, while Mega Man lives in the Cyber World. TO play as Mega Man, Lan must jack into something (PCs,ovens, etc.). Lan and Mega Man must help to save AC/DC town from evil. My reccomendation: BUY IT.

In my opinion, there aren't many games for the GBA that deserve a 5 star rating at the moment, but this title is one of the exceptions. I won't take my time to write a short summary of the game's storyline, since the site's review asically has it in a nutshell, but I really would like to focus on what makes this game so great. First of all, while this game is an RPG, it features a very unique action-oriented battle system that is not at all hard to get used to thanks to a mini-tutorial included in the game. In other words, if you're slightly sick of the usual RPG battles, this title might provide a somewhat refreshing change. Even better is the fact that when you defeat your enemies you will sometimes be able to get chips that will allow you to learn their moves, which first of all adds a collect-them-all replay value element to the game and second of all for once makes you actually look forward to the game's many random battles. The game itself is bright and colourful and really has as much personality as any other game I've encountered on the system. The translation is also wonderful, with characters talking like normal human beings instead of using the usual RPG cliche-speak. I also found out from personal experience that you do not at all need to be a Mega Man fan in order to get into this game, which can only be a good thing. Bottom line: if you already own Golden Sun and Advance Wars and aren't sure which title to pick up next, this could very well be the game you're looking for. Highly recommended.

This un doubtedly one of the top ten best Game Boy Advance games ever! It has nonstop action and killer thrills, but let me say this, "Who needs a plot." This a game you can enjoy nonstop, even at a slow point, there are always battles to be won. This is a top on any list of quality games, in short, it's really great.

Considering that this is a GBA game, the graphics could've certainly been better. They are somewhat mediocre - not much better than average GBC RPG. The sounds are of better quality, as is the music; although they're bit repeative, they're not *too* repeative, not even the battle music.

The plot is quite predictable, and some of it is cliched - it even has a traditional mad scientist and his goons. *yawn*

...so why four stars? I like the battle mode. It's quite innovative, a perfect blend of action and strategy. You have to carefully plan which of the hundreds of chips to use in battles. Even careful planning won't guarantee success: you can choose no more than thirty chips, and out of those, only five can be used each turn. The battles are fast and furious - if you've planned well, they're often over in couple of seconds. The downside is that they can be quite difficult at times: to beat the stronger enemies you need strong battlechips, and you have to keep switching to better chips during the whole game. To get the chips, you need to beat the enemies fast enough (not getting hit yourself helps). It can be very frustrating at times. I can only recommend this game for those players who have *lots* of patience...

This game is the best RPG game I have ever played! It has amazing grapics awesome sound and it has a tight RpG style of Gameplay. When I got the game I never knew what to expect but the second it started i became hooked. The game is so good I got the second one. That one is also pretty cool (but I am writing a review for the first one). Anyway I recomend this game to people who like or even dis-like RPG, because this game is really cool. It really brings out the megaman adventures. I have all the megaman games on comp, PS1, NeS, Snes, N64, Gameboy color and advance and by far the best is this one. megaman battle network is totally differnt then the other ones It is more futuristic and more realistic then the others. This game rocks

This game is challenging but very fun. If you like interactive games this is for you. It has adventure, interaction, and hours of fun. If you buy this you won't regret it.

The blue bomber is back in a whole new adventure on the game boy advance but this time he has broken out of his signuture side scrolling action platformer format and has taken on the card battling rpg format???? Well before you megaman fans start yelling listen and read this review to find that this is one of the blue bombers greatest adventures yet.

Gameplay 10/10
Alright the gameplay is quite strange for Megaman so listin up you switch between Lan (a human kid in the real world) and Megaman EXE (Megaman's newest form a netnavi who goes through cyber space kicking (...)) now in the real world you as Lan go through a normal life in his futuristic world where everything is run by computers but this means viruses are much more in number and can be deadly so it's up to Lan to take Megaman to the electronic device that needs viruses cleared out of it or hostile netnavis as Megaman you use battle chips (microchips that give him weapons and abilities) you can get these through a turn based system a meter fills up and when it does you pick which chip out of five that you randomly pulled (kinda like your hand in a card game) but you are not limited to pulling just one chip per turn you can also make combos by pulling more than one of the same kind of chip of by pulling two chips of the same code. A code is put on the bottom of each chip two chips that have a H code can be played in the same turn even if they aren't the same kind of chip and chips that are the same can be played together even if they are not of identical code by the way new chips (which there are 175) can be obtain from detroying viruses for example if you detroy a dash virus you may get his chip depending on what kind of busting level you get busting level is a rank system which goes from 1-10 and S and you have a better chance of getting a chip if you get a 10 rank rather than a 5 now after you have selected your chips you can fight the viruses in a 3D battle arena which is split up into 18 panels 9 blue panels and 9 red panels you stand on the blue and cannot cross on to the red and and the same applies for you foes on the red you move about dogding attacks while launching your own its strange for Megaman but it works very well aside from battling in cyberspace you will also explore and solve puzzles many of which require you to be both Lan and Megaman to solve them example in cyberspace there is alocked door but it has a passnumber it is based on how many chairs are in Lans classroom in the real world therefore you must become Lan to solve the puzzle. A way this is a rpg is that Megaman can level up but not through exp points he levels up by finding upgrade items such as HPmemories which raises your overall HP (you start with 100) and Powerups which raise your power rapid and charge up powers of your buster these upgrades can be found in various areas of cyberspace or the real world or by buying them from merchants speaking of exploring that is another great thing about this game you can explore areas of cyberspace in just about anything electronic such as vending machines, game systems, tvs, and the most expansive area the internet but you can still explore the real world and interact with the people in the various towns particapate in netbattles where Megaman fights their netnavi and trade battle chips noy to mention while exploring you can try to get all the battle chips in the game. Also old fans will reconize old bosses reborn in this game such as Bombman Iceman Elecman and Protoman.

Story 10/10
The story begins as you are put into the role of Lan a 5th grader kid who is off to school in his futuristic world that is run completly by computers because of this viruses are larger in numbers and more deadly so much so that destroying them with your netnavi example Megaman is a big course in school on the way to school Lan walks with his freind Mayl who begins to tell him of a hacking net crime organization the world 3 or WWW that is becoming more know throughout the story Lan and Megaman Battle the WWW to stop their evil plans but unlike old Megaman games you don't just pick a boss stage and go there you fight WWW as events unfold in the game.

Bottom Line 10/10
It will take you at long time to master this game trying to find all the battle chips reaching level 100 and battling WWW will keep you busy for quite awhile.

What a game! I, personally haven't liked a game in the Megaman series this much since Megaman Legends 2. The main protagonist is an eleven year old boy named Lan, who lives in the year 20XX. The world in this distant future is much like ours, except everything in the world is joined by the internet. The internet had become so advanced that you can't just use URL's anymore, but you must use a cell-phone like device, called a PET (Personal Terminal). To use the internet, you must "Jack In" an AI computer program called a NetNavi. Lan's NetNavi is, of course, MegaMan.EXE. Lan realizes that he is an extremely talented "Virus Buster" which means that he can delete viruses. Virus Busting is fought on a 3 X 3 grid, and megaman uses both special attacks, and the Mega Buster, fired with B. Worth the money, if just for the end, Megaman BN 1 keeps you hooked with a cast of endearing characters, and a harsh, serious, and at the same time, hillarious storyline. As I said, great game.

Mega Man Battlew Network for the GBA is a nice game that is unlike most Mega Man games. In this Mega Man game, you fight on a grid with you on one side and the enemy on another side. On this grid, you can fire as many shots as you want and can choose a special card from a group to use. This is quite fun and most people should enjoy it. When not in battle, you can move around freely and talk to people. You can fight some of the PETs of these people. The plot is pretty basic though there is a small twist. When hooked to the net, you can get into random battles and earn money. There is also a small RPG element present. You can earn upgrades to Mega Man and improve his health, attack, etc. The only problem is that the game can become frustrating if you cannot find out where to go next.

Great game. good graphics,gameplay, and music. it is better than all the ones ever made. The 2nd one is good too, but this one is more original and has better game play. Overall: Graphics : 8/10 Gameplay : 10/10 GREAT music : 9/10 awesome music. so if you didnt get this game yet, Get it or ill get mad!!
