When you hit Select, you will only see the guns of the Fuchikoma. The game doesn't let you stay in First Person all the way through some levels. At Bosses, now and then, your view will default to Third Person. At every single New Mission your view will go back to the Third Person default. This can be highly annoying if you don't happen to like Third Person. Note: In Third Person mode, your Fuchikoma will switch to First person if you back into objects, then switch into Third again.
Mission 9: The Reactor Defect
While in the Reactor, I was climbing the dome of the Reactor when I hit select a couple times. I believe I made it into First Person. Then, my Fuchikoma suddenly went into Third Person, tilted to a 45 degree angle, and without all of the Fuchikoma's legs on the Ceiling, I could not shoot the Lazer Cannons. They hit me repeatedly before I jumped to the ground. That finally got me out of my predicament, but all was lost... after playing for Nine Missions!!! What can I say? It happened a couple times. I "hit the ceiling," and decided to add a new wing to my web site.
Mission 9: The Elevator Defect
Just before the Reactor, there is an elevator. Sometimes you can fall off of that platform and your Fuchikoma will burst into bits.
Movies
First Mission Movie
In the very first Mission Movie you can obviously see "Batou" standing outside a helicopter saying the words, "Keep your shirt on, I'm comming." As he says these words, his lips don't move in the slightest. The company knows about this and will not fix it.
