Armored Core 4 for PS3 Review      

November 12th, 2007

Giant Robots and controlling them have long been a fantasy with young teeny boppers. Armored Core 4 has been made with them in mind. In this game you build huge towering robots and then get to control them in combat.

The new Armored Core aims to bring forward the excitement of the series with a few changes. It is less customizable. The positive of this is that novices can get right into the game quickly. The game is fast and flows at a furious pace.

Now let me describe the look and feel of this game to you. In one word the graphics are fantastic, specially if you are viewing them on an HD TV. Apart from a few minor snags, I thought the graphics were great. The game scores in the sound department as well. The only downside to the sound is that there isn’t enough variety.

The fact that the game has been simplified is probably going to turn off fans who like to micromanage building their robots. The other part of the game – combat has improved tremendously. It is now easier to manage the robots and their movements are much quicker – putting a lot of waiting to an end. The single player mode is a bit short of expectations, though online multiplayer is great entertainment.

Now, if you want to know whether I would recommend this game, yes I would. It is great whether you play the game from a mechanics viewpoint or from a robot fighters. Some would put down the simplified robot building, but the great graphics, sound and better fighting scenario makes up for it.
