Megaman ZX Advent is a great follow up to the orginal Megaman ZX. With two new interesting characters and a new biometal it makes the game feel new and fresh. Biometal A was an ingenuis invention, not only can Grey/Ashe take the power of the biometals they are able to transform into the psederiods they defeated. Being able to transform into a powerful ZX model and the giant Bifrost makes the game so much more interesting. With all these new transforming abilities its possible to do so much more crazy stuff like eating your enemies or even fly with Queen Bee form. Much improvements have been made since ZX, there are actually voice acting within the cutscenes now instead of just subtitles and for the most part the voices are pretty good. The only voice I was irritated by was Aile's, she sounds very unemotional and doesn't have that female feel within it. The game is a bit shaky in the beginning because of the big change between ZX and ZXA but you'll get used to it fairly quickly and enjoy the extra little gadgets that they include. Everything is a lot more smoother now in the start menu, its organized and even has an easy map screen access. The transerver has changed quite a bit, you dont teleport to other transervers now, instead it teleport you to warpoints. Getting to and from places for sidequests and extra stuff gets pretty annoying and tedious. The story was quite stunning, I never expected such a good story from a Megaman game, its pretty suspenseful with lots of twists and turns which keeps the game interesting. Overall Megaman ZX Advent is a great game, its improved a lot since ZX and any megaman fan would surely enjoy it. Its a great follow-up to the handheld Megaman games and its quite difficult, however its not punishingly hard and anyone with a DS would most likely enjoy it. The pictures are very nice to look at with the nice background scenery and nice animated scenes. In the end I would recommend this game to any megaman fan and even to people who enjoy 2D action games.
