    I am a huge fan of the giant robot genre and get excited whenever a new game is released that let's me indulge in my fetish, but Front Mission Evolved is another one of those games that doesn't do much to help the genre gain any ground with fans.

The story and characters are your typical archetypes riped straight out of any anime and the dialog is so terrible and fake that I believe my 11 year old cousin could write more realistic and meaningful lines. I actually started to skip the cuts scenes due to how painful there were to watch. On the bright side, Front Mission Evolved actually delivers in the gameplay department. The controls felt quick and responsive and I actually felt like I was piloting a giant robot. Combat is fast and rewarding with big explosions and a sense of accomplishment when you take out 4-5 wanzers on your own. Enemy AI is decent, doing a good job of bombarding you with an endless stream of missiles and charging in for a quick melee strike when you leave them an opening. Overall I did enjoy the game, especially multiplayer. Mech customization is a blast and always a big selling point for the genre. I just wish multiplayer was more robust and would take a note from Call of Duty and give the player a sense of progression and reward them. There has been a major hole where Chrome Hounds once was for multiplayer mech action and the first game to fill it properly will be sitting pretty with the fans.

    To sum up, forgetful story, terrible characters, and painful dialog only hinders what is actually a pretty fun game. If you like giant robots blowing each other up and want to burn a weekend into some fun multiplayer go rent it or grab it used.    … Expand

    I enjoyed this game, i didn't expect much and was suprised at how good the voice acting and character animation was (considering i thought it'd be poop). Mechs are a bit samey and boring, but a fun and pretty challenging game. Worthy of a rental, Online is dead already. 7

    The lack of a cover mechanic, limited controls, an awkward camera and some questionable AI result in a peculiar package. [Issue#102, p.110]

    Front Mission Evolved it's that type of game where we ask ourselves why it was released, because it is destined to fail and fall into oblivion.

    At its core, Front mission Evolved is a run-of-the-mill action shooter that wastes the opportunities its got in giant robot combat. The game only occasionally frustrates, but never really wows the player, either.
