Woah. Now I know what they mean by “sitting around, tapping your finger” and waiting for the game to load…
The game itself is pretty decent. Alot of action, and you gotta be tactful. Cos there is no way you can customise your mecha to be the best. You have to be skilled. Like SKILLED skilled…The game is kinda a game not for ‘playing’ but ‘customising’. I mean, you seem to spend more than 10minutes customising, tuning your mecha. And a maximum of 2mins and 30 secs of ‘PLAY’ time each go. and followed by a 30sec loading time (40sec loading time to get into the match)
MY personal opinion of this game is that it should have been made into a war like game where you take your mecha into the open field and hack, slash, blast your way through open terrain. Instead, the game is an official tournament based game where fighting is limited and hence the fun is limited. also the round limit of 2min 30secs doesnt give you much time to harness deeply into your full potential and REALLY kick ass.
Overall, a gamewith ALOT of customisation, good graphics and PSP-traditional-sloppy-controls and little play time with ample amounts of “LOADING…” I think the game is not really worth the effort.
Oh, did I mention that the game gets intensly difficult on your like say 5th match? And it only gets harder…
