    The large levels are deceptive, as these do not provide freedom to explore. Even the much-maligned "Wild Metal" managed to offer some degree of exploration, and atmosphere.

    Despite lots of shooting action, the unresponsive controls and below-average mission design lead to a distinctly dull experience.

    The missin objectives leave no room to breathe and take in all the loveliness; the physics on the robot are too floaty given its awesome scale; and the difficulty becomes insane too quickly. [Aug 2002, p.70]

    “Want a story? Read a book! Now, here is a mech and some missiles. Go blow stuff up!”
    It’s basically a game which knows exactly what it wants to do and how it wants to do it and then unapologetically does it.
    I love that!
    The combat is hectic, the controls tight, the graphics are very nice, and the overall feel is as it should be as you seamlessly transform from mech to plane and back again and blow things to smithereens.
    The only minor gripe is the lack of multiplayer and that there are only 14 missions, but those missions will keep you on your toes as some of them present quite a challenge.
    I only recently stumbled over this game, and I have to admit it has turned into a guilty pleasure.

    Definitely recommended.    … Full Review »

    A great game, very funny, nice weapons and lots of action. The only minus point I can think of is that there isn't a multiplayer build in.
