Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge

No one can stop the deluge of Mega Man sequels; Mega Man is immortal.

No one can stop the deluge of Mega Man sequels. Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge is the latest incarnation of the Mega Man Battle Network series, only this time it?s basically a turn-based simulation/strategy/collectible card game ? la Yu-Gi-Oh.

In Battle Chip Challenge, you compete with other Net Navies (cyber alter egos of the characters) in the Battle Chip Grand Prix Tournament to advance in rankings, win Battle Chips, and upgrade your Navi. Your ultimate goal is to be declared the world champion. Battle Chip Challenge offers six selectable characters with their Navies. Returning from the Battle Network series are fan favorites, including Lan and Mega Man, Maylu and Roll, Dex and Gutsman, and Chaud and ProtoMan.

Contrary to Battle Network, Battle Chip Challenge is not a tedious, task-oriented, arduous game; it?s all about the battles here. You purchase Battle Chips, program your Navi according to available Chips, and let your Navi fight. Once in battle, your interaction is limited to Chip plug-ins, which augment your Navi?s offense or defense abilities. The game allows for many varying factors in battle, such as elemental type Navies and special skills, resulting in many unpredictable battles. The sound and control are surprisingly superior to those in previous Battle Network games, though the graphics have stayed the same.

With 194 available Chips to acquire, three modes of play (including a Game Link versus mode), and nine classes of competition, Mega Man Battle Chip Challenge is deep in gameplay, and it?s a game truly worthy of the Mega Man name.
