One of the better 2D platformers I've played for the GBA. Worth playing, especially if you like platformers.

Opening Thoughts:
Once again I type my little rant about how much I hate 2D platformers. I promise I will try to be as unbiased as possible when writing this review, but I cannot promise that no bias will slip through.

Story (6/10)
Same old Mega Man Zero storyline, just some new people to fight. One reason I've never been a fan of GBA platformers is because of how poorly a storyline is implemented. I will say, however, that the Mega Man Zero series has implemented it better than any other platformer on the system.
Gameplay (8/10)
Very good for a platformer. Kind of fun, too. Typical controls, A is jump, B is shoot, L is sprint. The downfall is difficulty. I don't think I've ever played a game this difficult. I was determined to beat the first level. Two hours later, I was still determined to beat the first level. An hour after that I had to give up.
Graphics (8/10)
Great for a GBA game. Good art in the cutscenes as well.
Durability (6/10)
The difficulty will aggravate you, but it also will lengthen the time you can spend on the game.
