    I love the Game I have played all the AC series and I will admit like Scotch its an acquired taste but its challenging the graphics are great for what they are the intro Was Fantastic and it seems to have a great online following. I think it would be nice if you could Damage specific body parts and say Blow someones arm off or render there boosters inactive.

    I have played all AC games prior to this one and AC4 is by far the best of the series!

    This game is pretty sick, and really hard. I've been a long time fan of the series and this game finally revitalized my love for mech fighting games. It's high speed and sick graphics make this game much better than the other ones, but the only problem i have is that is has a very steep learing curve that makes it very hard just to pick up and play.

    I had much fun with this game, but the length is too short. I beat the story along w/ the data packs(arena battles) within 5 hours. The single player was probably the best part of the game(though some may to differ). The multiplayer had much potential but fell short.

    This is one of the worst games I've played in a long time. It is chaotic and confusing with short campaign chapters. The controls are terrible.

    I understand this game is more geared towards the AC hardcore. But once you get passed the learning curve, it is a pretty amazing game.

    Excellent game despite what most critics say. Single player is on the short side but you can play through it again on hard with extended objectives. Multiplayer is also a blast. If you are into mech games you are in for a treat!

    The game is much better than the previous one . you are allowed to use your boost for a great amount of time. the addition of the quick boost is insane adding much movement to your AC. I was always a fan of armored core and now i'm a bigger one

    Armored Core 4 does painfully little to stray away from previous entries, and it just might be its greatest drawback. Once again you pilot a mech of sorts and take along on missions that come in a variety of ways to complete.

With a bare bones story to move missions along, you'll be doing pretty much the same thing the whole game. I like that if it presented more features, but sadly there is only a standard multiplayer. Customization is better here, but that doesn't say much to this game. Playing the previous entries will warrant a familiar experience which makes this game look unoriginal at best.… Expand

    Armoured core games have a learning curve and require at least an average level of inteligence. If you a Games Journalist, consistant day COD buyer or fortnite player, you will want to pass on this game, it will go over your head and you wont enjoy it at all..

    Лучшая часть в серии. Миядзаки взял и пересобрал всю механику прошлых частей, но все равно оставил то самое ощущение и дух прошлых AC. Гениальная игра, с нетерпением жду новой части от Миядзаки

    The controls are great once you get them customized properly*fire buttons on L1 and R1), with nimble movement and crazy bursts of speed seldom seen outside of anime, but this dexterity is wasted on short missions, bare-bones multiplayer, and the same ol' gameplay AC has been recycling for years.

    AC4 feels like a house that's been added onto so often that it's a maze of twisting passages, oddly shaped rooms, and doors that go nowhere. There may be something worthwhile hidden within, but it's not worth the effort to find it. Time to tear it all down and start over.

    It looks nicer, it plays faster, and with its lower barrier to entry, Armored Core 4 should appeal to more than just the series' faithful gearheads.
