Megaman and Bass


Megaman, or Rockman to our players overseas, is back again on the Gameboy Advance. This time he teams up with Bass to destroy an evil robot named King who teamed up with Dr. Wiley to create a robot army using robot information they stole from a robot museum. Bass is usually a prone enemy to Megaman, as well as Protoman, but they both help our blue hero to destroy evil.


Megaman games are never easy, and this one is the same. The opening level is almost pie, but once you get into actual boss levels, you will have to spend numerous times learning the level, and the miniboss, and main boss. It is a very time consuming game, but it is a lot of fun if you like its style. Also, different areas of the game are availible to both characters, so going through with both is something that is going to be fun to do.


The mechanisms of the game are different for both of the characters. Megaman can only shoot his blast forward, but he can charge it for more than triple the damage. Also, Megaman can slide under enemies, and move while shooting. Bass on the other hand can shoot in 8 directions, all but straight down. He shoots rapid machine gun like shots, but cannot move while shooting. By tapping the forward button twice, Bass can do a quick dash to avoid enemies. Also, both characters can call upon their robot dog friends, Rush, and what should be called Treble.(the name used for this character is retarded.)


This game will take hours to complete fully, but it is very entertaining. Stealing bosses' powers is one of the aspects that makes the game fun because playing with new weapons is always good.
