awesome graphics but teeth clenchingly hard, it takes forever to beat the first level, the battlechip system is just not made for side-scrollers! the insane level of difficulty makes it a challenge for experts even! but it's still fun, I recommend renting it, (Ya gotta be a fan of Megaman or you'll hate it!)

viva la megaman!

This game seemed cool as soon as i checked the movies and screenshots, but now it seems almost impossible 2 beat the first level!!! Its been a day long since i rented this game, and i havent even beaten Fireman! Plus they should have translated the language 2 english. You cant go anywhere anyways in the beggining(except the stupid store). I highly recomend you just rent it for awhile. U better b a Mega man fan 2 like it.

i dont know what Jon was talking about

Mega Man Battle Network goes 2D...

I remember playing my first Mega Man game. The action was so different from the other games that I played at the time. I am a young gamer, so I didn't play the original Mega Man games, but I did get to
play the X series games. I enjoyed the series so much! I instantly
became a Mega Man fan. I was really enjoyed at the thought of
an RPG type Mega Man game, that I bought both of the Battle
Network games. I enjoyed those, too. I was very excited when I
heard that Battle Network was coming back to the original 2D play
of the old Mega Man games. But my excitment was cut short when
I first played the game.

Story 7/10- The story takes place in 200X. The world is run by
computers. People use Net Navis for electronic errands, and for
virus busting. It is a month after Lan, a citizen of ACDC town, and
MegaMan.exe, Lan's Net Navi foiled the plans of a virus spreading mafia bent ontaking over the world through setting virus loose. Everything ispeaceful until a virus, called the Zero Virus(Zero! A virus! Zero totally kicks Mega Man X's butt in the X series!). The virus setsprograms on a rampage! And its up to Lan and his virus busting pal MegaMan.exe to save the day. Kinda confusing.

Graphics 9/10- The graphics in the game are very good looking,
especially for a 2D game. Mega Man moves very fluidly, and the game never slows down. Even the enemies are highly detailed. The
scenes are especially great looking. The background is also
detailed. On one accasion, the net is on fire. The flames looked so
good. Overall, very good graphics.

Gameplay 4/10- This is where Transmission really fails. In the game,
you start out in Lan's room. You don't control Lan though. You get to
watch him pace and do nothing. Then how do you Jack in to the internet
to fight viruses? You simply go to the menu, go to map, and choose
where you want to jack in from. This is a real disapointment for Battle Network fans, where you controlled Lan until you jacked in to the
net. Exploring cyberspace, however, is different. You control Mega
Man. When you start, you are sent a chose of chips. Each chip
contains a certain power, such as cannons, swords, and shields.
When you first start, the you can pick up to five chips from a list of
five chips. So, you would be stupid not to pick them all, unlike Battle
Network where you could only pick more than one chip if the chips
were the same, or had the same code. This makes the game too
easy. And, if somehow choose not to take all of the chips, the Custom
gauge takes forever to fill up(when the Custom Gauge fills up, you
get more chips). You also have to wait for the chips because the buster gun is so weak and fires so slow, which is entirely different than the original games. However, what is really annoying about Transmission is theNet Battles. In Battle Network, battle were fought on a 3x6 board.This way, you were able to dodge moves, and prepare to counterattack. Since Transmission is in 2D, it is almost impossible to dodge abosses moves, and since the battle stage is so freakin' small, you have almost no room to maneuver. The only way to win is to pummel the boss with weapons until it dies, never letting the boss attack you.This makes the battles so annoying, you just don't want to battle. Overall, the gameplay is bearable, but not that fun.

Sound 7/10- The sound in the game is really good. From the buster
gun firing to the sound of Mega Man running, the sound really delivers. It's the music that annoys. Hearing the same Techno music
over and over again while you continuously die against a boss is so
annoying! And, the voices are in Japanese! Well, there are sub-titles, but I would rather hear Mega Man yell "Die!" than it be written at the bottom of the screen in little white letters! Overall, the sound
is okay.

Overall,Mega Man Network Transmission was a good try at making the Battle Network series work on the Game Cube. But, what would have been better would be a Battle Network game on the Game Cube. And I mean exactly like the GBA games; they have to
be in RPG.

Pros:
Original 2D type gameplay in the Battle Network universe.
Great Graphics
Good Controls
Priced $10 less than normal games...

Cons:
Japanese Voice Acting
Battle are boring
Short (about ten hours long)
Hard, you die way too quickly.
Old Mega Man gameplay was implemented poorly (bad buster gun)

Why??????

I have played just about every mega man videogame there is and this one has to be the worst. Why do they keep on making the games more and more complicated when the simple mega mans are much more desirable? This was a waste of time...I rented it, played it for 20 minutes and then never played it again. Please people, do not waste your time on this game, especially if you loved the simple "choose the boss level and beat the boss at the end" like mega man X for super nintendo.

cool but hard game

ok this game is really good. Its has great graphics and the chip system is pretty cool.But this game is also very very challenging. Like, if you run out of lives you have to start so far back its not even funny. Also just to let you know the Zero virus is just a new and improved Quikman from the old Megaman games.So i reccomend renting the game before buying it.

horrible

Even the most hardcore MegaMan fans find themselves going, huh? I guess the game is based on the MegaMan TV show. I would just like to say this game sucks. It really does. Every so often you get a limited amout of weapons from the kid that owns you or something. (Since when is MegaMan owned by a kid, and not created by Dr. Light?) You go through the first level (the only one you can go on) fighting robots and eventually run out of weapons. (Sometimes the kid doesn't even give you any real attack weapons) After you use them, you lose them until you "sign out" it took me three days to beat the first "boss".

I don't know what the creators were thinking when they made this game... It is a big turn down for hardcore fans.

I don't mind a challenging game, but this game has a stupid plot, and a harder control. I would NOT recommend it...

I gave up on it and returned it to the store I rented it from. I suggest you do the same, or not rent it/buy it at all.

annoying..............and frustrating,rpg was bad way to go!
