 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

The last time i played an Armored Core game it was back on the PS1, and i loved it. Two generations later and it feels like not a lot has changed.
I haven't completed the game yet, and i can't see it happening. It seems too focused on your mech rather than the gameplay. Saying that, there's nothing really wrong with the game play, there's just not a lot to it. The combat feels like whoever has the most ammo or fires first will win, it felt like very little skill was involved in defeating my enemies.
For the most part, the missions seem short, i only ever really pick this up to kill time.
It's impossible to get into the game story wise, you have to remind youself that your mech actualy has a pilot.
Maybe followers of the series will understand it more, but i love mechs and this game really didn't do a lot for me.

This game is crap. The missions only last for a few minutes each, the hundreds of parts are mostly boosters and stabilizers which don't offer much variability for building your mech, the targeting system has been re done and it just doesn't work, there are no exceed orbit cores, the whole thing with schematics is confusing and annoying and there aren't as many weapon, arm, leg core and head parts. You can boost indefinately as long as your on the ground. The only good point I found with this game is the quick boost function. This game is a complete waste of money and I'm a big fan of the series. Rent this first before you waste 50.
 Definitely an improvement from the older AC games December 7, 2007

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 ;)
