Front Mission Evolved - Xbox 360

Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of the Front Mission series. That being said, I was disappointed in the style of gameplay in this release. I was looking forward to the turn based unit strategy but even though I knew this game had changed styles, I had to get it out of love for the franchise (And I don't regret it).On that note,-Graphics were very well done and believable, lots of facial expression, bullet damage, impact, etc. were displayed, although some more detailed than others.-Sound was to par, the soundtrack went with the game very well and helped with immersion at some moments. I never found myself annoyed with the music or sound effects.-The gameplay was fast paced, responsive, and challenging (on the hardest difficulty) which required some tactical planning before heading in guns blazing. You really need to pay attention to your armor when in combat, enemies will tear through your limbs but luckily the core regenerates, so keep cover close. However, on foot (yes there are foot-soldier missions) it is practically impossible to die, just try not to run out of ammo.-Probably one of the best things of FM, in my opinion, are customization. Much like Armored Core, you get to build and customize your own Wanzer (Huge Combat Robot, everyone loves giant robots). Though the campaign puts some limitations on your choice of weapon and mobility for some missions to mainly prepare for what's going to happen in the next mission.-Story and characters were believable, except the protagonist, ANNOYING beyond belief...and slightly comical. The story is relatively short and not too many plot twist or points of extreme interest but the development of the main character is short and sweet, and the rest of the main cast are attractive and likable.Now the downside; as stated before the gameplay can be challenging on the hardest difficulty but the most annoying thing is getting your legs destroyed to their frames and you can hardly move. After the climax of the story, this will happen constantly! Repair kits become rare/hidden so tactics become more prominent. The story was short and linear, not too much excitement. Don't even think about multiplayer, there likely will never be anyone online and if they are, they are well ahead of you so move on to armored core for multiplayer. Frankly I'm surprised the server is still up. The hidden unlockables (which give you extra credits and the occasional part/skill) were an absolute nightmare to collect and not really worth it, so unless you want every part in the game and a serious access of credits, forget them.So, my final points:-If your a fan of Front Mission, give this one a shot, it sticks to lore and is another prospective on an otherwise fantastic series.-If you just wanna fight with robots, move on to another robot-smashing-game.-If you're interested in just the story, move on, not much of that here.

this is an amazing game in which you command a giant robot and can customize their weapons and armor and make it look how you want to so I really love this game and its amazing and its a must have cause whats cooler than controlling a giant robot and destroying other robots with it aahahah

I was skeptical when I heard front mission that's not turn based strategy but this game pulled it off fine. it does suffer from the exact same thing all mech games that let you customize do, that is WAAAAAYYYYY too few options and parts and weapons.

Here's the rundown2171 AD. The struggles between the two global superpowers, the O.C.U. and the U.C.S., have amassed to a cold war. Massive structures called orbital elevators tower above the planet, granting unblinking surveillance as these two nations maintain constant watch on one another. Suspended at the precipice of war, a new enemy will ignite the flames and watch the world burn.It's a massive fast paced mech game with guns blazing action. Take damage and watch pieces of your mech fly. If too much damage is taken to a limb and that limb will become useless. Fly using jet packs and surf using boosters at high speeds to dispatch your foes with brutal force. Customize your mech with a large array of weapons, attachments and armors. Take the fight online and decimate your friends in a whirlwind of rockets, bullets and heavy metal. If you're into robotic destruction and frantic split second choices. Front Mission Evolved, Tear the enemies a new one.

This is basically a third person shooter so you are moving through campaigns with a running storyline and destroying everything you see. It reminded me a little of the Transformer games and the Mantis in Halo 4. My son is 13 and normally plays Halo, Transformers, Sonic, and RPG games but absolutely loves this game. Graphics, explosions, and sound effects are superb. Other reviewers have complained about the acting in the vids. While the video actors don't have the intensity and realism as say the Halo vids, that wasn't a problem for us. We just liked the great graphics, gameplay, and blasting other robots.

Great mech game. It is not a mech warrior game which is more what I was looking for.You can customize the limbs and body of your mech as well as several weapons. The game progressesyour mech forward in a way that works well. You never get too far behind the power curve. Thestoryline is a bit lacking. The time spent outside of your mech is horrible. No mechanics there.complexity 2/5graphics 4/5bots 4/5gameplay 4/5story 2/5overall 4/5age: 6+

Square Enix games can be bought on Amazon for incredibly great prices! Despite offering a multitude of genres one can always sense the Square Enix spirit in their games, this can give you a warm feeling of familiarity but on occasion can make you yearn for something totally different. I try not to play Square Enix games consecutively to stay fresh. This game is a challenging turn based game and totally worth the purchase.

It wasn't everything I hoped it would be. The controls were difficult and it lacked the quality of some other Xbox 360 releases. Still on the hunt for a great Mech game.

Thanks a ton I got what I was looking for, came as described!

Great condition
