Intro
|
  
|
Absolutely beautiful graphics here, starting outside a space ship, then moving inward to see an AC being prepped and then launched down to the planet from the ship. Keep watching for an amazing Mech fight on the planet's surface.

Sound
|

|
Good sound effects and nice music throughout, I just wasn't exactly blown away. |
Control
|

|
I must say, the control in this game is about the worst aspect of all. I lost track of how many times I tried to steer with the analog stick and had to stop and think. Why they used the old D-pad is beyond me. Also, every single button is used, including the analog sticks. Normally this is fine, but you actually do need to use them all at once to effectively battle. The analog sticks would have made this much simpler. Finally, the turning speed is just maddening on some AC's. A full 360 takes a good couple seconds. |
Replay
|
 
|
Definitely a fun game to come back to, and the two player mode makes it all the better. I didn't score this too high simply because I'm sure someone will beat it in the near future, assuming we get another Mech game. |
Overall
|
 
|
For a launch title, it's great. The intro really draws you in, and it's beautiful to watch. The sound and control dragged it down a bit, but overall it's a fun game that looks good. |
