  • Summary: Mega Man ZX Advent follows two heroes, Grey and Ashe, on two separate but intertwining adventures as they search for answers amidst a chaotic war between humans and robots. They fight against a menacing, evil force in a battle unprecedented in the Mega Man series. The title takes full advantage of the Nintendo DS features to enhance the action-packed gameplay and story line of the popular series. A dynamic "Biometal" system is central to gameplay, allowing players the ability to change into several forms, including eight bosses, each with a variety of unique abilities and powers. With a touch of the Nintendo DS screen, players can easily switch back and forth between the Biometal and Map navigation screens. Bosses can be fought in several different ways, testing players' skills and rewarding them with nearly 24 different items depending on how they take on a boss. Co-op and head-to-head two player wireless play (two cartridges required). Two-player downloadable mini-game (one cartridge required). [Capcom]… Expand

    Excellent gameplay, challenge and visuals. Voice work and story are the only low marks.

    Together with the wonderfully integrated story and action-RPG accoutrements, ZXA is yet another 2D diamond from Capcom. [Nov 2007, p.74]

    As devotees will tell you, platform action doesn't get much better than what Mega Man dishes out, and Mega Man ZX Advent lives up to that reputation. [Dec 2007, p.85]

    The old school difficult may turn a lot of gamers off, but the gameplay is solid and the power/appearance assimilation is fun.

    Mega Man ZX Advent is a breathe of fresh air to the Mega Man franchise, going as far as to say it almost feels like an X game on the DS. The ZERO series already had that X1-X3 feel, ZX was just unpolished. ZXA brings it home, what 2D Mega Man on the DS should be, and a bit more.… Expand

    Great level design. Good Music. Lots of transformations. 2 playable. characters. ZXA is an awesome platformer. Anyone giving it a low rating or bad review is considered stupid or just terrible at the game. A game like advent really pushes gamers to the edge on difficulty. An enjoyable game from start to finish. The only flaws are the crappy voice acting and the removal of Model OX which was a great form!… Expand

    This is an excellent megaman game and one of the most challenging and entertaining i've seen yet worthy of better platforms.

    Mega Man Advent ZX was a disappointing experience, too easy in the beginning, the last boss is almost impossible. took me 8 hours to go trough the entire game. the controls felt great and the transforamtions too but these 8 hours aren't worth 40$.… Expand
