    Only slightly different, Another Age fails in the fact that it is nearly a cookie-cutter copy of the original game. If the original was excellent to begin with, why not play it again?

    Don’t enter Another Age expecting a full-fledged sequel to Agetec’s giant-robot fighting franchise. This AC2 expansion pack adds about 100 missions and new multiplayer options…but not a whole lot more.

    An excellent expansion pack.

    A massive improvement over the decent shooting/evading/customizing/dashing action from its predecessor. No mech fanatic would be sane without checking it out.

    This build-your-own-robot game gives grease monkeys a 20-story garage, hundreds of parts, and plenty of time to tinker with and create the ultimate 40-ton rig.

    Another age is for Core heads only, and even some of them will be disappointed with more of the same. [Oct 2001, p.145]

Although it lacks the arena mode, and really doens't have a story line, the improved resolution, larger more detailed levels, new inovative parts, and 100+ missions help htis game out tremindously. The mission variety is greater, and the response time is a lot better this time around as well. You can also use the anolong sticks too. But the one thing that keeps me and my friends addicted to this game is the 2 player co-op mode. Now thats what this series needed. It's a shame they took out the on-line aspect of it.… Full Review »

    Хорошее дополнение. Больше деталей, больше миссий и больше топовых мехов. Еще бы игру ремастернули на пс4, было бы вообще шикарноХорошее дополнение. Больше деталей, больше миссий и больше топовых мехов. Еще бы игру ремастернули на пс4, было бы вообще шикарно
