Armored Core 2 is the first of many Armored Core games on the PS2. If your a fan of big robot combat, this is certainly a game for you. This game allows the for the customization of your "Armored Core" allowing for many different styles of combat and even the paint job. There is a mission mode with around 30 missions and an arena mode with more than 50 other combatants. Once you are finished with the game, you can import your save file to the next game which is "Armored Core 2: Another Age". This is a game that requires skill, not just an excellent setup as a skilled pilot with an inferior AC will be able to take down an inferior pilot with a superior setup with little trouble. Problems with this game: There are slow downs in the game when many characters and projectiles. There is no online play. The control scheme is unwieldy since does not allow for analog look which many other FPS games have for better aiming and control. It can have a steep learning curve for beginners however, this is one of the easier AC games as the series generally gets even more difficult. This is probably the best game to get into first to familiarize yourself with the Armored Core system. Pros: Skill based game. Deep customization. Challenging game mission and arena mode. Import save game to the next AC game. Cons: Game periodically slows down. Can be difficult for beginners. No analog look/strafe. The bottom line: If you like big robot combat and customization, pick this game up. If you're not sure but want to try something new, it's still widely available not just on ebay and it's pretty cheap ($5-15).Read full review
The game was almost flawlessly done, a good arsenal of weaponry to fit the needs of one's tactics in mech combat, be it long range sniping or machine guns galore, even dual blades for those who prefer to slash (like me =P). Lots of customization and a good storyline with amazing graphics on the PS2 even after being around for over 6 years. I think it's a great buy for anyone looking for a nice game, and unlike most mech games it does have a good 2 player mode where you can load ACs from either memory card slot, people can battle using whatever they wish and it even keeps a vs record to show wins and losses for a player's profile. All in all I think it's a great game and almost everyone will love it, a true best buy
This game was the only reason why I purchased a ps2 back in 2001. After finding the same ps2 in mint condition, I got new controllers and cords, and again just to play this one game. That’s how much I enjoy playing the game, and after I just recently found out that they released Armored Core 6, I will have a lot to catch up on when I’m finished with this game.

It's one of the most solid games on the PS2. I saw that the newest Armored Core had a trailer, and I felt a sudden need to go back and play the older ones. It's exactly as I remember; dark, polygonal graphics. Bad tank controls. But mecha games are few and far between, so I decided to retread this nostalgic path.

Athough this is a older game it packs a punch. This title is for PS2 and the Armored Core 4 for PS3 does not even come close. The game play is intensive and addicting. You need to really explore each level in depth to find all the hidden attachments and arsenal for your robot. Some levels will seem impossible to overcome but with the right gear you should have a chance. There is also and endless array of different robot combinations to build. You can even add your your own unique color pattern, go even more with the design of your own badge. As you progress and defeat levels you will battle tougher and better designed robots. The final chapter will be the ultimate battle and you had better be well prepared. You will need to aquire the secret weapons and upgrades in order to win this fight. So go back to older levels to make sure you find them. Of course you could go on the internet to find cheat codes but really you are just taking the fun out of winning. I give this game 10 stars and I am sure you will too.Read full review
