I played this game around 13 years ago as a little kid and remember being pretty obsessed with it. It stayed as this repressed memory until it randomly popped into mind. Getting my hands on it, I gotta say that this is game is much longer and more difficult than I remember. This is due to 2 elements. The grand goal of collecting all of the metabot parts and the unforgiving but tense stakes of losing or gaining parts with your wins and losses. This system actually makes the game stressful to play since you get one step further from completing it with every loss. And if you lose all of your parts you get a legitimate game over and start over. But not all parts are equal. In some ways, the match ups can be unfair because some parts are obviously unbalanced. Like the flamethrower arms. They melt you fast, and they stunlock you. The game loves to throw you against these odds, and the smart enemy AI doesn't help either. Usually, after losing so many parts, your losses snowball and you do even worse since the parts you lose are the ones you actually use. It frustrated me to deal with such a mechanic. But at least we've got some mechanics to change the tide of battle. Metaforce. They're powerful special abilities that charge from idling and taking damage. I can't tell you how many times I've made a comeback from near-death against an opponent that should have won, only because of this instant win button. It's not only my win button though. They have it too, and I've equally been screw over by it. So, overall, this was a cool deep dive into nostalgia town. But looking back, I see why I didn't stick with it. This is a hard game. Really hard. You can get good at it and do well, but the rng in the matchmaking and combat, and the high stakes aren't helping you at all. I really doubt anyone has actually completed it 100%. But this would mean playing perfectly and staying lucky Read full review

Having just rewatched all of Medabots, I'd decided to pick up the old GBA game since its low price. Medabots: AX is a basic combat Real time RPG, with elements from the show fans can appreciate. The game gives you a decent amount of customization for each medabot with bright graphics. Combat is short and often repetitious once you find a pattern for a certain medafighter. However battles can be intense since it is very easy to get your health knocked down. Finally, the story for this game is almost non-existent. It drops you in right away with no tutorial to the game, leaving you to experiment. This game is fun for a short while as the replay value goes downhill, however it is better than most tv show games. A game for Medabots fans, not most gamers.
I liked the game. it's not bad. I think it's a good buy for gameboy advance collectors. no regrets. delivered on time too. very pleasing! thanx.
