I'm not particularly good at action games like Mega Man Classic or X, but this was a fun experience with friends.

Network Transmission's pace is slower than other Mega Man games until you upgrade your Mega Buster, which I didn't do until late in the game. Once you get all the upgrades, it feels better to control.

Oddly enough, my favorite part of the game are the splash screens after clearing a level. The ambient victory jingle with the key art sliding onto the screen would've mesmerized me if I played it when it released.

While fun overall, definitely play another Classic or X game prior to Network Transmission to get an idea of how these games test your skill. You'd probably appreciate this game as a fun extra if you enjoy the other games.
