The constant optimism of the characters, the bright and breezy sounds and sights and the constant urge to retry a battle over and over with different chips makes it one to come back to many times.

Without doubt the worst Mega Man game ever created. It lacks fun, lacks skill and it lacks substance, and will have you hooked for all of 10 minutes.

An affront to Mega Man fans, card-battle enthusiasts, and gamers everywhere. [June 2004, p.83]

Battle Chip Challenge's biggest issue is that it takes no skill to play, instead of relying on RNG to win. And with certain characters, especially Dex, your luck drops down even more. While the deck building aspect might be nice, that's undone by the fact that the mainline Megaman EXE/Battle Network games do it better, and actually require some skill.

This game is quite different from the rest of the Battle Network series. I had fun with it, but some of the random elements that are out of the players control began to feel very cumbersome. You do not control the character - instead you feed the character of your choice weapons and the battles play out randomly until the end. It's a nice changeup from the established formula but it ends up feeling very bare bones and underdeveloped. Playing as other Navis is pretty cool though even if it's not used in the way you would think. Worth a play!

I've always considered this game one of my guilty pleasures, and really I shouldn't be ashamed. While not for everybody, this game has some addictive qualities that keep you coming back for more. I will be the first to admit the game play is pretty much non-existent. The fun of this game comes from carefully planning and assembling your program deck and watching it conquer the opponent. Coupled with the great music and characters of the Battle Network series, this game deserves a better reputation than what it has.

If Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge is not the most evilly addictive game I've played in years, I don't know what is. I just got up from a playing session almost five hours long and all I want to do is go back and play some more.

There's less action but more strategy. It's a nice change of format and one that is entirely addicting.

As ridiculous as it sounds, with a little more money and thought put into how the player might react to not actually playing the game, this could've been something worthwhile.

It's hard to imagine Battle Chip Challenge appealing to anyone but the tiny, dedicated group of MMBN link battlers to whom it's a love letter. [Summer 2004, p.55]

It's a repetitive title that requires little strategy on the part of the player, other than planning when to take the caffeine pills to stay awake through the next "battle".

A title that pretty much plays itself. The game's simplistic spectator battle system doesn't warrant a separate game and most players won't want to log in.

Place Battle Chips into your Deck. Hit "A" 'til the battle is done. The end.

Lets sing the song people! "Bland, bland, bland, bland, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive, repetitive! This series is getting old while it goes. Chip Challenge is maybe the most blandest.
