80If 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]
-
80While 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.
-
The depth is simply amazing, it seemed like there was something to learn every time I played it.
-
75Even with the new systems, the core mechanics are losing their edge and the tournament structured story isn't helping things, either.
-
75MMBN4 has slicker interfaces and improved visuals.
-
A space-themed central story gives the game greater scope than its predecessors. [Aug 2004, p.123]
-
The RPG-style fights are uninspiring, and the storyline is simplistic. Still, the graphics are bright and inviting, with menus that are easily navigable. [June 2004, p.138]
-
70It's difficult to dismiss the overlying cuteness and simple-but-solid gameplay, which continues to put the series on the top tier of portable RPGs.
-
68The story is lifeless, and the circa-2001 graphics and audio just don't cut it anymore.
-
This iteration still hasn't fixed the one problem that's been plaguing the series since its inception: snooze-inducing level design. Another decent entry in the series, but nothing more. [June 2004, p.73]
-
Thanks to the fun battle system, BN4 comes up as a good game, but if not for the marred music and questionable story, BN4 could have been so much better.
-
65As solid as the existing game design still is on the GBA, I'm ready for something fresh.
-
60Put simply, the games are beginning to wear thin. If you’d don’t have any of the previous editions of Mega Man Battle Network, this is a good one to buy and enjoy. For returning players, hold off purchasing and demand that Capcom do a little bit more next time.
-
60The visuals are on par with previous entries in the series. They're colorful and cartoon-like, with non-threatening enemies and friendly characters.
-
A great Megaman introduction for beginners. But owners of its forerunners will struggle to find enough new features to warrant upgrading.
-
50Fans of the Battle Network series will delight in the further adventures of Lan and Mega Man, but everyone else is warned to stay clear. [Aug 2004, p.78]
-
At this point, Mega Man doesn't even have the credibility of Yu-Gi-Oh, in my opinion. If you can't resist purchasing one of these games, do everything in your power to resist buying both of them.

TroyV.9I like this game. It was kind of hard but I solved all of it. It was kind of easy too. That is why I rated it good. That is all, see you next fall.

SubaruH.10This is the best MMBN version I have ever played, but the boss is too easy to defeat.
