The popular Rockman EXE series extends itself with a semi-sequel to EXE 4.0 which adds the ability to use Rockman battlechips through the Battle Chip Gate accessory (not included in this regular edition of the game). Battle chips add new weapons and items to a player's hardware cache for use in the game. Additional Battle chips (and a wristband) are available from NCS. Upon starting the game, players are prompted to enter the date and time on their virtual PErsonal Terminal (PET) and select a Navi from four possible choices. We chose Roll as our Navi but Rockman would have been our second choice. Once in the game proper, email messages may be read, settings tweaked, and virtual landscapes visited. Once in the virtual world, players roam around and interact with other Navis, read BBS messages, and battle various viruses that roam the landscape. A training sequence gets players started as screen messages are explained and game tactics are detailed. New to the game is an automatic control function where your Navi evades attacks by itself. A 5-setting slider which sets the distance of the Navi during battles. The distance and battle tactics may be changed at any time by pressing down or up on the D-pad respectively.
