    What are they scared of with this game, actually breaking from the mold and making a game that meets the standards for graphics these days? I found it to look just like the old ACs; however the storyline and the parts were new and refreshing. I just wish they would revamp the graphics and give us something new.

    I also played armored core 2 and 2 another age. I liked just strait 2 the best. 3 was fun but it just was either way to easy or insanly hard. I found that if you want to get cash go and fight in the arena for a while. The missions give MUCHO cash but sometimes they just too hard. If you buy any AC games get 2 cause it is the best!

    It keeps most of the basic gameplay elements intact, but a little bit of polish (along with a few additional features) could have made this a spectacular title, rather than a merely solid one.

    One of the best PS2 mech titles in the market today, one that stand head-and-shoulders above better-publicized competitors like TDK Mediactive’s “Robotech: Battlecry” and Bandai’s “Gundam: Federation Vs. Zeon."

    The Armored Core franchise will never be something for the casual gamer. It simply requires more thought and creativity than most people want to employ for a videogame.
