    Carving into an enemy with Jake's Plasma Blade carries a weight and reaction so polished, the result is poetry in motion rather than simple swordplay. [Feb 2005, p.66]

    Simply put, when Nanobreaker’s not frustrating, it’s boring.

    The gameplay, however, wears thin pretty fast. The regular enemies are mind-numbingly easy to beat, while most bosses are impenetrable (usually until you figure out which specific combo will crack it). [March 2005, p.72]

    A mindless hack-and-slash experience with little to distinguish it from the many similar titles that preceded it, this rehash of last year’s "Castlevania: Lament of Innocence" engine is a good excuse to blow both steam and a free rental at Blockbuster.

    If you want to be technical about it, Nano Breaker really isn’t all that bad; it’s just uninspired and trite, un-compelling and absolutely average. It’s another hum-ho action title that won’t likely entertain unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the past five years.

    Combo moves and minor upgrades notwithstanding, Konami has done little more than create a mediocre "Double Dragon" rip-off populated with epilepsy-triggering robots.
  7. Game Revolution

    It can be difficult, but usually this difficulty stems from horrible camera angles, slow animations, and ill-positioned save points.

    This game is great. There is no reason to compare it to DMC. This title is an action adventure with a good quest. DMC is an action game This game is great. There is no reason to compare it to DMC. This title is an action adventure with a good quest. DMC is an action game broken into chapters and with a custom combo system. This game's combo system is well made and each weapon is used well on different enemies. I have had more fun on this game than any of the DMCs.… Expand
