 Definitely an improvement from the older AC games December 7, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
First thing anyone who first plays this game will notice is this; the controls are pretty difficult to pick up, even for people who've played other AC games. Once you've got a grasp of them though, the gameplay is extremely good fun. The main change in controls is the separate buttons for left and right weapons and switching between them and you have to be able to remember and switch weapons quickly which allows you to use weapons such as the grenade launcher/energy cannons with a gatling gun/rifle, or just two grenade launchers.
Boosting has been much improved in AC 4 making the game a lot more fluid as well, even when almost out of energy you actually still recover energy while boosting along the ground and the quick boost functions are more useful.
An earlier reviewer said that it has become useless to use an energy blade for close combat... this is not true. While you can't just hope to boost around slashing everything with blades, they are an extremely efficient way for specific missions and almost necessary for some for an S grade on hard mode, although I've there are quite a few missions i haven't done on hard mode at the moment. The online mode is impossible at the moment, there are simply no players online in Europe, Japan is where the AC and mech games seem to be popular.
Overall you need to spend a lot of time and thought while playing, some of the missions can be completed with little effort but the real fun comes from being able to blast the crap out of everything, dodging and maneuvering so that you complete missions feeling like you actually used some skill. This game allows huge customization and constant tweaking of stats so the really it is down to you how much you can enjoy it and how long it will last. I strongly recommend it, if you can't get it, at least try and get a friend to ;)
My review July 12, 2007
This is an extremely fun game, the environments look simply amazing and there is a huge improvement on everything from armoured core nexus. The only slight to the game is that the controls have changed and it takes a while to get used to but otherwise its fine.
!!!!When you buy this game ensure you have an internet connection or the time and patience to discover how to update your PS3 system via a storage media device as the game will only work on a PS3 system that is rated version 1.70 or above!!!!

First let me say that if you don't like mech games then you aren't really going to like this one. The control system is slightly more accesible than some titles but this is still a mech game at the end of the day.
The graphics on this title are its best feature with and excellent draw distance and sharp lines plus a multitude of landscapes to explore.
The gameplay is fun but can be very frustrating at first. The targeting system seems to have a life of its own until you get better parts and upgrade it and the various boost types you can do left me bewildered. Once you get past these and stick with it the game develops into an enjoyable affair.
The part I really love about the game is the customisation aspect. As with most of the game this is very confusing at first with little or no help from either the manual or the in-game help. It is a matter of trial and error til you find a mech that suits you.
The game also features an online part which sounds great in theory but in practice I have never seen another person on there so as with most of the PS3 online games (with the exception of R:FOM) it is plagued by lack of players.
All in all i think this game has the potential to be great but is very frustrating getting to that point and a lot of people will give up before realising the games full potential.
Beutiful and just as fun! August 6, 2007

This is not a typical shooter. To start with it can be challenging and a lot of missions require you to adjust your NEXT (what the game calls the Mechs/Robots) appropriately otherwise you will die very often, quickly. I read a review (on gamespot) that said the customisation was dampened heavily. NOT TRUE. Still lots to tweak and fiddle with and I've made loads of completely different robots. If you like mechs this game is a sure bet, and even if you don't this game is fast paced and breathtaking. Nothing like boosting a mech across water at 700km/h. I played transformers in a shop and was disappointed instantly, this is definitely the good alternative.
I've described it to a lot of my friends as "pimp my robot" as I've spent hours building and customising (paint jobs and decals) my NEXTs which was great fun (one of mine even does a little transforming!).
That said, it is quite a short game, and the individual missions are short as well. Although it does add that elite dispatching commado feeling.
4 stars over-all
Frantic Fun June 19, 2008
Too many bad reviews.Firstly this game looks very good,graphics are crisp and look quite gritty.
Secondly the control scheme is very good(if you change to layout B) and feel very comfortable.Thirdly the game has probably the best Mech customization options which are only bettered by previous AC games which had generally more parts etc.
Yes missions are short but the gameplay is so fast and intense you dont care and theres enough options and enjoyment to be had with customization and the Arena type mode to keep you hooked until you import AC:For Answer :P
Ignore the other reviews and have fun
