Best mech game you'll get for now

User Rating: 7.5 | Armored Core: For Answer PS3
By wiredshooter | Review Date:
I really never took interest in the Armored core series until the 3rd one came out. And man was that a rough game to play. It seems that the series makes a slow progress to fulfill the true need of a real mecha game. For Answers got the closest so far.

Good: Customization is unbelievable. There's so many things to think about when you make your mech, that it really lets you experience the tactical side of things. Varied weapons will let you decide what type of battle you want to fight, from missiles, submachine guns, laser blades, assault rifles to sniper rifles and etc. You can replay the whole campaign with your mech and get more money/parts. Environment's destructible to an extent.

Bad: Graphics, as always in this series, are a few years behind. Melee is still just sooooo sloppy. The game after you beat can be replayed, but is just too easy. Combat can be better.

If you need a mecha fix, this is the game. For now. There is so much potential not being used in this genre, but hopefully developers will appreciate that.

    This game is a pretty fun game in general but I can see this will appeal to a very selective group of players. If you are not into mech based combat or VERY fast paced combat then this game might not be for you. This gam... Read Full Review
