    First, the game is really easy, that is if you play the campaign once, if you want a challenge I suggest you try and beat it first and then play it again in New Game +, trust me if you chose Hard, it gets real, the first couple of enemies are a breeze as you will start the game at a High Level Team, but once you reach the first Warshipsaurus, you'll know what I mean, it gets a whole lotFirst, the game is really easy, that is if you play the campaign once, if you want a challenge I suggest you try and beat it first and then play it again in New Game +, trust me if you chose Hard, it gets real, the first couple of enemies are a breeze as you will start the game at a High Level Team, but once you reach the first Warshipsaurus, you'll know what I mean, it gets a whole lot harder. As for the music, it stays real to the series and still sounds great. I played the game for a whole 30 hours sitting, that is a first for me, I was hooked very hard. The only big complaint I can find is that the Trophies are untranslated, not that it is such a problem for me as I played all games in the series so I had to learn to Understand Japanese at least a bit. It's a 10/10 for me a great entry in the series that got me hooked.… Expand

    Recuerda a los buenos rpgs de la PS2, es muy old-school, tiene mucho grindeo y a veces te hace sentir realmente solo , que seguramente es lo que deseaban.el combate es muy bueno y la customizacion brutal.lo peor seguramente con más presut hubiese sido un juego que hubiese triunfado más pero se quedó en otro jrpg low cost.

    It's crazy fun to play with your tanks roaming the wasteland and fighting monsters, But the story is very slight and the characters a bit one-dimensional. As a fan of Metal Max games I enjoyed it but it's not for everyone. The tank customisation is brilliant and you will collect an impressive armoury of tanks and tank weapons.

As a fan of Metal Max games I enjoyed it but it's not for everyone. The tank customisation is brilliant and you will collect an impressive armoury of tanks and tank weapons. Dungeons are explored on foot and they are very similar in design and not very interesting, but exploring the wastelands in tanks is always fun. To do everything you have to play the game a number of times, although that's not too hard to do.… Expand

    Weird enemies, fast combat, and tank customization don’t save Metal Max Xeno from being an unbalanced disaster. The game also manages to end on a particularly poor note with an ill-conceived boss-rush followed by a monstrous final battle that requires expertly tuned tanks not needed anywhere else in the story. I spent nearly as much time trying to beat the final boss as I did on the rest of the game. It’s just another in a host of bad design decisions. There are some interesting parts that could have formed the basis of a good game — the tank battles against giant monsters festooned with cannons are fun — but those parts are buried by all the other terrible decisions.

    Metal Max Xeno is just so thoroughly average when it comes to JRPGs. The basic world, familiar storyline, and characters serve an okay experience which embraces the grind a bit too much for a world that is generally void of much interest. The game feels like a throwback to older JRPGs which is great if that is what you’re into, but there has been so much advancement in the genre that overall Metal Max Xeno feels a bit out of place.

    It does so with a title that takes the most popular features of the J-RPG, amalgamating them with the intriguing vehicle system and dropping everything into a fascinating and picturesque imagery. The discreet, but not exceptional, bulk of content, however, lends a side to a technical section too old to be able to fully satisfy an audience of players who, just recently, has met some members of the genre much more sumptuous, profound and solid.
