PS3 ARMORED CORE V

This Game plus the 4 answer series (which has nothing to do with the review in anyway XD ) is the awesome for those who loves the idea of a man to pilot the Custom mecha of choice....Customizable parts added with online content of being an operator...... Sounds like a simulation for an actual war veteran to control states and actual mecha pilots and issue orders via microphones....Storyline isn't bad - tad good - but it doesn't throw in the "awe" factor...It would be awesome if Armored Core 7 will be based on a brilliant storyline about a 13 year old -God Worshiping child, not known to the world created his own mecha.....13 year old scientist .... XDAnd pilots the thing..... calls into the micro phone and yells "you people are so mean" and other pilots and enemy pilots wonder in asunder "What the, is that a child???"Awesome idea eh?

Took a while to arrive but definitely worth it.I've always enjoyed mecha-themed games and this is a definite improvement from ACIV.Long-time fans of the AC franchise will not be disappointed, it definitely brings everythingyou'd want to the table. Although it does feel lacking in some places for example theequipment does feel a little constrained and limited.Online is pretty much required so if you're looking for a game you can enjoy offline thisprobably won't be it. Don't misunderstand me, it does have a single-player and optionalmissions but the majority of it will be online, so teamwork and a bit of socializing with thecommunity is needed to get your money's worth.For those of you looking to platinum the game - which there always are - this game is apretty simple platinum and easily accomplished if you put your mind to it.All in all a good game and worth the money, you can't really go wrong at this price.I don't recommend it if you dislike team games or working with other people but if thatdoesn't bother you go ahead.

Personally I think this game is great. The customisation aspect of the game is enouromous, you can make mechs your own. A lot of planning and very strategic play. The storyline is pretty mediocre. Weapons, armour, boosters and whatnot, everything is very technical and the numbers tell you the traits of items (I like the technicality but not everyone will). You have your own hangar and you can build your mechs in so many different ways, and you are able test your mechs whenever you want.Online you can join a team or create your own ( or not at all and simply do mercenary work). Boss battles, territory wars, brilliant. You can also play all of the story missions with another player (either a teammate or a hired mercenary).The online multi player potential is massive, however it is severely underutilised by a lacking playerbase, you'd be lucky to find anyone playing - it doesn't help that the servers are not global. You can still do it all, with AI hired mercenaries, but honestly it will never be a fun as playing with others.

customisation is in depth, mechs look awesome. a good addition to the series but let down on online as no one plays this online anymore.great game but falls short of its potential due to lack of real players!

I honestly think the gameplay on the second game from PS1 was the best. I bought this looking for that style but was disappointed. The boosters don't work properly and you can't fly like before.
