    Utterly unplayable! Anyone accustomed to the control scheme dating back to the original PS1 Armored Core entries is completely FORCED to adapt to the dual analog style despite the game still playing on a Dual Shock. Trying to remap the controls to the original style is futile because the D-Pad can't be used for anything except menu navigation. Why, why, WHY did From Software feel the needUtterly unplayable!

    Overall the mission design is boring and repetitive, the graphics are so-so, the online is blah, the customization is awesome, and the overall experience isn’t worth the price of admission. Pass. [JPN Import]

    Armored Core 4 is more accessible than its predecessors; and at its core, beneath the complicated controls and imposing arsenal of body parts, it's a pretty simple, superfast, graceful and smart mech-combat game, and it deserves your attention. [JPN Import]

    Could have been a much more adventurously designed PlayStation3 debut for the series. Sadly, Armored Core 4 represents a great opportunity, missed. [Mar 2007, p.106]
