Overall: Great game and I think that this was the beta for the second one. They better get online if they want this game to prevail. Gameplay: The controls were great. But that is all this game was, was controls. It was fun for a little bit, but I am not a mech fan. Graphics: Great visuals. I thought the game was very realistic and it was very fun to watch the chaos. But still too expensive Sound: Great sound. I like the thud of the mech and the sound of the weapons. Yeah it was a two hundred dollar game.
Overall: i am a video game freak since i finally
made the decision to buy a
$200 game and a huge controller with 40
freaking buttons.You can,t miss this
experience it,s worth your money and
time even if you don,t have xbox live is a
fun game to play. Gameplay: vertical tanks are the ones you drive in
this game(best know as mech
warriors)not mech assault,because is a
firson person view ,besides the learning
curve should take about a day or so if
you are a real addict like me,because
playing with 40 buttons,two joysticks and
three pedals is not something you ever
experienced before,so buy this game if
you want to experience something new. Graphics: graphics are not the best,but who cares
when the gameplay is addicted and
great like steel batallion,besides if you
have access to xbox live,am sure you
won,t miss the next installment of this
great game since is going to be online
later this year. Sound: better than mech assault,great
explosions and you can also destroy the
buildings and other things related with
the enviroments. Suggestions: make sure we can use this giant
controller for other games like air combat
or tanks.
Overall: I cannot get over how good this game is, the graphics, sound and gameplay are just breathtaking, I love it. If only it was Xbox Live. Gameplay: The gameplay is quite slow but I this isn't a bad thing as i find it quite enjoyable lumbering around, it just feels powerful, and the 40 button Controller adds no end of fun to it. Graphics: The graphics are amazing, some of the best I have seen especially the shadows and the explosions filling the screen. Sound: It sounds nearly real with the surround sound and the volume turned up, should have custom soundtracks though. Suggestions: Hurry up with Line of Contact, Xbox Live is the best!
Overall: I know it's 200 bucks that's a lot to fork over but 40 40 40 40 buttons u just can't get enough of all 40 buttons. Gameplay: It's just to good to pass up the game play is just pure to much fun not to have fun with but to be addicted to for hours and hours. Graphics: The graphics are nice and crisp perfect polygons and shading. the shadows are looking more perfect than splinter cell. Sound: The sound effects with a surround sound speakers make it even more better with every missile u fire and every shot come out of that mini-gun you can feel it. Suggestions: The developers did a very excellent job for making a mech game. even though x-box mag gave it a 8.9 I give it a 9.7.
Overall: Wow, This game is great. From the minute you open the box your anticipation grows. great box too.
If you where an arcade junkie this game is for you. The controller is amazing!! worth the 200.00 alone. If more games are made for this contrller Lookout. Gameplay: If you like this type of stuff great. If not play sport games. I think the game has great story and really good simulation of how the mech would be in real life situations Graphics: Lacks the halo type graphics but....This is like arcade games would look, so take that into consideration. I was a neo geo fan so this is a great game to me Sound: If you have support for dolby 5.1 This game kicks a-s!! The sound is so good with the dolby it is the biggest draw to the game other then the awesome controller Suggestions: MAKE A SEQUAL, GO LIVE, AND POLISH UP THE VIDEO AND NOBODY CAN TOUCH YOU!! AS FOR THE CONTROLLER WOW
Overall: this is the most boring game i have ever played. i dont suggest that anyone would want to buy this game. Gameplay: the gameplay is not my type. i really think it is bbooorrriinngg. no offense to anyone that likes it but not me!! Graphics: the visual look sooooo fake. i think my grandma can make better games than that. i dont like the graphics. Sound: the sound is the only fair thing but it still isnt good. i know that the makers of the game can get better music.
Overall: This is counter-act any and all things said by an idiot like Blah! How can he know anything about a game for having played it only 2-5 hours?! Go back and play some Pong you newbie, its obvious that this game is too complex for an ameboa like yourself. Gameplay: This is counter-act any and all things said by an idiot like Blah!

Overall: this game overall was very well thaught about. the 40 button contronler is amazing and the whole story line is great Gameplay: At first I thought the the gameplay would be very hard with the whole 40 button controler but its acually preety cool Graphics: this is the only thing holding this game back the graphics just wherent what they could have been. Sound: also not the best part although it was very good. Suggestions: improve the graphics and lower the price if it wasent so pricey i would probably buy it
Overall: With that hefty price tag of 200$ this already is a huge hurdle to overcome.
But let me say this if you manage to find that kinda money in your couch this is the game to buy with it.
The 40+ button controller actually surprised me in quality, i was expect some cheap plastic easily broken, but i was wrong the sticks are stiff and of good contruction, the buttons ALL LIGHT UP, its so awsome to see them light up in succesion during the start-up sequence. THIS IS DEFINALTY the ULTAMITE MECH experience, its almost like haveing a 2,000+ Arcade unit in your home!
To break it down this GAME is worth 2 xbox games alone....and the controller with the 2 joystic,etcetc, pedals...should be worth one more full game price.
Whether you want to pay anoter 50$ to meet the retail 200$ is up to you, for the expierence, or you can just wait till its marked down to 150$, which im not sure will happen, EBAY months/years from now will surely have this baybe for 350+$ Gameplay: The gamepaly here is complicated, once you get the hnag of the controller though, you actualy feel as if your one with the machine! The story is pretty kewl, like a Future/Modern type military thing where one country pulls out of the Pacific Rim Coaliation and delcares war on nieghboring islands, Your island is attacked, many losses, but then its right to a swift counter attack, assaulting a Beach-head A-LA Saving private ryan complete with 4-6 wingmen VT's truly a sight to see.
Remember as well this is a simulation so its WAY on the opposite side of say Mechassualt in terms of fast paced action, but trust me you will not mind, its way to relistic and you can almost feel the sweat on your forehead as you run outta ammo and switch to the plasma torch and prepare to charge into close combat! Graphics: The visuals, are truly a work of art and are created dark and gritty on PURPOSE, but you can still see plenty of real time shadows its just breath taking, and if you doubt just how good the graphics are, just zoom in with the main monitor button on your massive controller and you'll see unbelieveable detail in even the most trival object like cows! or infantry! ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!
The enviroments are great as well, dark rainy days, clear nights, mud on your windshield (which can be washed off witht he windshield wiper button! (NO JOKE) Sound: This is where this game really gets good, the music is very apporpriate all military sounding (were going off to war type things) Very kewl drums. But the sounds of battle in-game are what really grabs your attention, bullets richoceting off your armour, the steps of your mech, the soudn on your mech hitting the ground and slideing another 20ft because you went to fast into a turn....... Suggestions: ONLINE ONLINE ONLINE!!!!!!
MORE MISSIONS MORE MISSIONS MORE Mts about all though!
Overall: Ok, so it is pricy. And the size of box makes you wish you got the truck instead of the New Bettle...But it is worth it. You controll a VT (your mech) with more percision (and blinking lights) than any other game ever made. But more to that in a minute Gameplay: Well, this depends on what you are looking for. If you are looking for a uber-realistc Mech sim; then this is for you. ITs so realistic, that under two differend scenarios (which happen repeatedly for the first couple days) your file is DELETED and you must start over. This dosent matter later in the game, as you have plents of credits and skill to handle anything. I find this refreshing, games too me are to easy now adays, and im having a hell of a time beating the first (i think there are more) campaign on EASY.
If, however, you are looking for a mech fragem, like MechAssault (a game i also own and love) then go with that. It may not be realistic, but it is configured for XBL...
The choice is up to you, but for any hardcore mechfans like me; get both, or Steel Battalion if you have to choose between the two. Graphics: The graphics are okay... Not the best on the Xbox, but they are near photo-realistic if this was occuring. The screen is a bit grainy and blury; im not sure if that is due to design or lack of effort. The VTS look no where near as finnished as possible... StarSiege and the Mechassault games. Not the best, but they will do. Perhaps the XBL sequal will boast better ones (yes Capcom is making a sequal for XBL) Sound: There are enough sounds in this game to do.......something (insert some appropriate metaphor here). It sounds like your really piloting the thing. Im assuming it supports 5.1 Surround Sound, but my system is curently down so i cant confirm that. (my suspicion is based on the fact the Dolby logo is briefly displayed at the beggining of bootup.)
Some may complain about the music, but in my oppinion, the music (even though its Japanese) kicks major @$$. (except for some of the Jukebox music...some of it is just plain wierd.) But the cutscene offer killer music.
Suggestions: I dont really have any...Improved graphics would be nice in the sequel (Dont back out of it capcom!), and if possible redo some of the joint artwork...it kinda just meshes together... Other than that job well done. Im extremely pleased that i got this woderful game.
