This game is fun until you try to change your mech. Then you realize you understand nothing.
User Rating: 6 | Armored Core 4 PS3
This game is a huge disappointment to me. I have played Armored Core 2 and 3, and liked them, but was incredible disappointed with 4. It has good graphics, which the previous titles never had, but all you ever see is buildings in the distance, and your own mech. Little red boxes pop up around enemy mechs, and then you hit the fire missile button and the little red boxes disappear. Eventually you earn a ton of cash, and even though the game is still easy, you go to upgrade it and see if you can get some cool stuff. It is nice that it only shows parts that you have unlocked, and not the overwhelming numbers from the last games, but now there are not actual limits to weight of heat, but bad things happen if you become unbalanced, but it doesn't tell you that, it just leaves you to go into combat to figure it out. I still don't quite understand what is going on with the upgrade system. Anyways, that crucial flaw makes the game fun for the first hour or two and then it becomes stale and incredibly boring.
