Mega Man Battle Network 4 Blue Moon

"Tournament style, butt-kicking game!"

Gameplay:
This game is extremely addictive! Do NOT, I repeat, Do NOT get into this game if you are having a major test or something that you need to concentrate on coming up. RM EXE 4 is the definition of ''addictive''. You will be stuck playing this game for hours to complete it, or to get to the Navi Boss. If somehow you MUST stop, you'll still be thinking about it! All in all, the gameplay Rocks big-time.
10/10

Story:
The storyline is great, as it starts when Rockman and Netto want to join this tournament...then another...then more. And finally are ranked as the best netbattler in the world! There is no more ''lame'' story like the WWW in exe 1 or Gospel's constant reoccurrence in the EXE 2 game. The final evil villain would certainly give you a big shock, such as the final scenario would. No hints had been dropped on those at all!
10/10

Graphics:
The graphics of all the people and objects have been shrunk to look more squarish...
The graphics in MBN 1-3 were all large and isometric-style. Though this game is still an isometric game, the graphics, I feel, have been worsened by a bit. Nevertheless, they are still good!
8/10

Audio:
The music of the game is, like all previous MM exe games, remixed from the past versions. However in my opinion, they are remixed to sound much better! Some new, unremixed ones, however, like the one that plays in a boss battle, are even better than those from the past games. Pushes the Audio of the GBA to the limit! Definitely good.
8/10

Replay Value:
This is one of the games where you have to play for a very long time in order to bring out every secret and every scenario. What's more, there are still some you will not be able to unlock. This game offers 3 different modes to play in, with a different difficulty. The final, secret boss can only be fought if you have played the game for a very long time accomplishing all the required tasks. This is definitely a tedious game, but at the end, you will have your prize. Though it is boring, it is worth it in the end.
8/10

Rent or buy?
BUY! If you do rent the game, and spend SO MUCH time on it, you will really be unable to bear to return it. To save yourself this trouble, buy the game! It IS worth it!
