What can I say? It's Armored core. You pilot robot/mech/tin can. You go from point A, to point B, sometimes to point C, and then you shoot everything that tries to shoot at you. It's a simple formula and people who love the series have no reason to expect it to change. I do however think that since Ubisoft has been making the game the quality has gotten a lot better, and no I'm not just talking about the graphics. The AC's, or Next's as they are called in this game actually move like real walking 30 + foot tall machines. Mobility has been increased, weapon handling has been increased, it's more realistic because you have to reload ( done automatically ) and you can equip pretty much whatever you want. Graphically it's pretty, but I'm more concerned about the giant speed boat with teeth coming to eat me then the graphic quality of the surrounding buildings. No I'm not joking, have fun with that mission. Now for the issues. I don't know how it handles on the PS3, but on the 360 the controls can be a bit cumbersome at times. Though this has always been a staple of the series and until we can plug the console into our heads to control our games it will stay that way. Again I don't know how this works on the PS3 but the 360 version needs patches. Unfortunately if you're not an Xbox Live gold member you cannot download and apply these patches. These aren't the normal game updates that are applied automatically these are separate downloads done in game. The game suffers for this though as without the patches there are a variety of glitches and issues. Sometimes my AC would just stop moving after getting hit by a small rifle, nothing special about it, just a normal rifle. Other times my weapon lock on system would turn into the moving line system used for unguided rockets. Now this is fine if you use unguided rockets but I'm a beam and missile fan and this became very annoying very fast. It would also do it at random levels, and in random matches in the arena. There was no special weapon fired at me, it would just do this at random. The only other complaint I have is that air combat is quite frantic and sometimes hard to keep up with. My hands don't work quite well due to some minor joint issues and it became hard to keep up in aerial close quarter combat. However keeping at range and using missiles usually solves the problem. All things considered Ubisoft did a fantastic job for AC4 Answer. The game has its share of bugs and issues, but it could have been much much worse. However if you're just now trying the newer AC games it's advisable to rent before you buy.Read full review
This is the best armored core to date. The game play is TONS more fun! You dont feel like your playing some clunky slow armored machine from some ancient outdated time anymore. The game is fast and fun. The level design is better and lots of details too. Customizing your AC has never been this in depth whatsoever. And the option of online co-op is sweet! The ONLY thing I could ask for is a two player offline co-op but the graphics would definetly have to suffer if they did that. I suggest you buy this game if you liked ANY of the other previous armored core games. If you never played armored core before, start here!
now armored cores are a banned weapons of war simulator and i'm glad they dont make them anymore because they are too powerful as gaming devices of mass entertainment i dont know why anyone would ever buy anything else if they had an xbox 360 and all 4 armored cores for it...

This is a really fun game with a lot of customization options. This is great for those looking for a good mech game, which there are not many of outside of Japan. It is well worth it for the low price it is now.
