Umm... this isn't the front mission I was expecting on the next gen.
User Rating: 6 | Front Mission Evolved X360
When I think Front mission, it takes me back to the days of SNES roms and translation patches and emulators... And, Grid based strategy that I've come to love. This was more like MechWarrior with front mission motifs. Even thought front mission played this roll before with, Front mission Gun Hazard. That was a great game for its time. This new installment is not what a lot of fans were hoping for. Now don't get me wrong, this was a decent game. lots of action and a decent story. What I didn't like were the missions where I had to get out my Wanzer and battle on foot like in gears of war.... only not as polished or satisfying. Another big issue was it was too easy. Even on the higher difficulty settings, all you got to do is replay a mission that has the most Wanzers to scrap and save up to upgrade your wanzer with the best parts. Repeat as necessary. You can even replay boss battles to cash in on even more credits. That made the game convenient but, way too easy. I was really hoping for the old school front mission games that I grew up. But this is just another run of the mill mech shooter that most vets of the shooter genre will breeze through. the multiplayer adds some replay value, but it isn't enough to make it stand out above the crowd.
