Great art direction, some pretty good gameplay, and just the fact that we got a Mega Man X style experience on the GBA back in the day was pretty cool. A few things hold it back, though: the resolution of the GBA means the camera is zoomed in pretty close to Zero, making it hard to tell what's hazards are about to appear until they're almost right in your face. I'm also not a fan of how grindy the Cyber Elf system is and how harshly the game ranks you. Even if you had a perfect run you will get docked big time for having any health upgrades.
