Mega Man Zero

Great graphics, great story, great sound, and great replay value (as it will take many tries to get every Elf, and many tries to get a perfect rank).

There’ll be times when you curse it for being so tough, but when you do get anywhere the feeling of elevation is immense.

Despite such minor setbacks, the overwhelming characteristic of the game is high-speed action of the fun (and generally not too frustrating) variety.

Hardcore platform gaming. If you don’t mind platforming where the odds aren’t in your favor, this is your game.

Younger or more casual players may find the game way too hard and may be better off with something less difficult. However, fans of the series or experienced gamers should not hesitate to pick this one up.

Difficult yet engaging. [Feb 2003, p.97]

At issue is the way 'violence' in the game has been obscured. Despite the fact that Mega Man Zero deals with war and genocide, it's disturbing to see how often the game never completely engages with its subject matter. Any instance of violence that does occur has been minimized in various ways.

Mega Man Zero does NOT disappoint me at all with amazing gameplay and replay value to the max. I adore this game so much. This is my 7th favorite GBA game.

Sticking to the rather simplistic run and gun formula of the previous games but adding some beautifully designed Manga style graphics. Nothing new or groundbreaking but enjoyable enough and gorgeous to look at.

Mega Man Zero is a well respected, but rough game to me in the Zero series. It has first game syndrome, and that's completely fine, but it suffers certain things. The game has issues such as permadeath which can be frustrating, and prevent a normal chilling playthrough. Controls can be a bit tedious at times, but are still very smooth at most. The enemy and boss layouts can be very annoying, and very casually make it feel very grindy, and slow burning for further enjoyment. The level design also feels like an early metroid game, in which that's the genre it tries to follow up with, and that being a metroidvania. The good about the game says a lot about it. The movement is very satisfying, and it reminds me of Mega Man X's movement, but cranked up to 5 times the craziness. The weapons are very impressive to use. That being the Z saber which can be fun to use especially when you upgrade it. Unlocking the elements are hard, but getting them can feel rewarding and relieving. The sprite work is amazing, has some very impressive detail to it, mostly that being the level design itself. The story is also pretty solid despite it being a little fragmented at most. Anyway that is all for my review of Mega Man Zero. If you read this review, thank you

Le pongo un seis porque es tan ridiculamente dificil que ni siquiera es divertido. Apenas tienes continuaciones y si mueres y se te acaban, toca cargar partida y empezar de nuevo de cero el nivel, y es algo que te ocurrirá mil veces. Los bosses son absurdamente dificiles, de 5 hostias estás muerto. Si eres un tryharder y no te importa perder 20 horas repitiendo lo mismo una y otra vez hasta que masterizas los patrones de cada boss, este es tu juego. Si solo quieres divertirte un rato con un desafio minimamente justo, esto no es para ti. Si simplemente hubieran dado continuaciones infinitas para poder probar a pasarte un boss las veces que haga falta, le daría un 9. Pero así, no.
