[I decided to write this review a little differently than normal because this way helps get my point across better. With that said, this review continues.]

THE GOOD
The graphics in it are very nice (You even see the characters' backs for a change!). There are a lot of minor characters that are fun to look out for. It's also interesting to see the characters' key weapons making an impact on the soccer ball (examples: Mega Man basically blasts it, Snake Man fires a snake along with it, Gemini Man blasts two soccer balls zig-zagging, etc.).

Also, one of the characters you can add to your team is Enker, the next to final boss in Mega Man (GB). The first Mega Man for Game Boy is one of my favorites and seeing a new character from that game being represented here was a treat.

THE BAD
One of the first things that turned me off about this game was not the controls per se, but the gameplay itself. When you're on defense and you're trying to catch up and attack the opponent, most of the time the game automatically switches to the closest teammate. NOT A SMART MOVE. This makes it often confusing and irritating at times; they should've kept this to a manual option. The music in the game is original, minus two tunes from Mega Man 5 (stage select and password). This was a good move (albeit Mega Man 5 is not a strong game in the series), but most of the music in the game is bouncy, uninteresting, and ultimately not in the Mega Man vein (in which case just mute the sound and pop in some music into your soundsystem, whatever your preference is).

THE UGLY
Story? Dr. Wily tries to take over the world with... soccer. Mega Man speeds to the rescue to combat him on his own terms. Ludicrous story. Also, there is no ending whatsoever to this game, so if you played the game and beaten it, I feel your pity; all that for no ending. Blah!
