If there's one complaint, it's the visuals. They're not bad, just more or less the same visuals we've seen since part one. [Aug 2004, p.89]

While Mega Man Battle Network 4 shares most, if not all, of its play mechanics with its three predecessors, it still offers some new aspects and, above all else, its still very fun.

The combat is just as good as ever, even if the plot has been mucked up a bit. It’s not like these games ever had the best plots to begin with anyway.

Where the series loses the momentum built from its predecessor, with confusing design choices including gating half the power ups and content behind subsequent playthroughs that dont feel nearly impactful

I prefer this one over the other version but not by much the game doesn't change much but it is good. The series is starting to get stall. So hope for the best!

The depth is simply amazing, it seemed like there was something to learn every time I played it.

A space-themed central story gives the game greater scope than its predecessors. [Aug 2004, p.123]

Sorry but this game is AWFUL!!! I had such high hopes back in the day when I played these on GBA but alas I was disappointed. No storyline, you have to complete the game three times, craptastic chibi graphics, and childish crisis scenarios. Capcom truly trolled us with this release.
