The only thing this game assaults is your sanity.

User Rating: 3.5 | Zoids Alternative X360
Zoids Assault is published by Atlus, a publisher I generally love. They publish the Shin Megami Tensei series, for crying out loud. However, this title is a complete pile of crap to be honest. The intro video is a series of still shots with cheesy voiceovers. This basically sets the tone for the rest of the game. It just comes across as half-assed.

The graphics don't look too shabby, until you realize everything in the game is covered up by an annoying fim grain filter. The story is told via a woman's recollections of events. She is poorly voiced, and the cut scenes do not even feature moving video. Instead, it is told through still shots with voice actors rambling about nothing.

The actual gameplay is just as boring. It's not a very complex strategy game, and the order of action seems almost random at times. Most of your victories seem to be won at least partly out of sheer luck.

I wanted to like this game, I really did. It's a game based around strategic mech combat. But, I can't, because it's simply terrible.

It's only gettting a 3.5 because the achievements are very easy to get. However, I don't recommend even playing the game for those.
