Armored Core 3

THE GOOD:
Graphics, nice and smooth. Dialouge(SP?) almost perfect because of the army feeling. And the arena battles!

THE BAD:
Controls are a little complicated at first, but you'll get used to them

SUMMARY:
Hmmmm, where to start. Oh yes! This game is AWSOME! Short(But I've never beat it cause its HARD) but cool graphics, neat wepons and a wide variety of items to buy from the shop. Simple directions in order to complete the missions your on. Its full of action! My fingers never left the controller!(Watch the opening cut scene to see what I mean, all those missles flyin' around)
As for the arena battles, I use them for money, considering I've never lost one. What can I say, they get harder so buy new wepons. But thats aside from the fact that battling other ACs alone is just plain fun.
Well thats the end of this review, play the game!

THE GOOD:
More parts, better missions,

THE BAD:
Missions too easy, same for arena.

SUMMARY:
OK well first off by saying this game is only for the Mech fans, well this game at first seemed a bit bad, but I soon found myself addicted to it, you play through 50 missions, over 70 arena ACs and not to forget an Extra Arena consisting of 2 on 2 AC fights. Ths physics of this game are alot differnt to AC2/AA, they run alot more smoother and energy is alot more important. EO(Exeed Orbit) is a nice feature new to AC, as oppose to Over Boost you can select to have floating energy guns on your AC, they dont lock greatly but recharge in ammo, they are equally as important as OB in my opinion. Also OP-Intensify, is an Optional Part that in which you must upgrade to get new abilities, these ablilities resmble the same thing Human Plus gave you, but it takes up all of your OP slots, so you will have to make a choice here.

Also Howitzers are Left Arm weapons that shoot solid shots and have a good stun.

I...

THE GOOD:
The exceed orbit and the better left arm weapons

THE BAD:
They still have the Karsawa.

SUMMARY:
The exceed orbit actually brings your core into play and the better and more variety of left arm weapons makes it better becuase now not only could have a laser blade or shield but also flamethrowers and howitzers. The ranking makes it alot more challenging in a sense because now i actually have to play some missions with weaker and cheaper parts before climbing to the top of the arena. The addition of laserblade right arm weapons makes it even that much more challenging against close range competitors. The 4-player arena is sweet. It's fun to stay back and let your partner take the damage while you snipe them out from far away with a grenade launcher. Theres very few bad things in this game or the series for that matter. But I personally never liked the karsawa but there is always one computer who is hellishly good with it for some reason.

THE GOOD:
The good.. well lets see; the AI system isn't to shaby. I haven't gotten to mess around with it too much, but after defeating about 10 guys in the arena, he can finaly follow me and almost hit me as well. The parts system is an excellent as always, and I love the new weapons. It will cause me to redo alof of my arsinal when I am playing against my friends.

THE BAD:
As usual, the SPEED!!!!!!!!!.. I'm sorry, maybe its just me, but i liked the old ones, were when some one yelled out "HUGE A BUILDING!!" it actualy ment something.. if you want to konw what it means, then read the detailed comments. I guess the controler system can be a little complicated, but there is nothing that you can really do to fix that, you should learn to live with IT!!!!!! and learn to play the game like the rest of us do. As well, some of the boards are a little hard, only in the sence that even the best of use have to pay out of our own pocket a few times for expences that caust use the options of ...

THE GOOD:
- Parts
- VS. mode (bot support)
- Arena!
- Techno music
- not so impossible missions
- decent story line
- can hire helpers in some missions!

THE BAD:
- No online
- No vs. missions like in AC 2
- not big enough vs. maps

SUMMARY:
Ok heres the deal everyone this game kicks ass, and all who disagree should really take the liberty of removing there own brain and eat it. Now this game as my title states uses Strategy and mindless action. You can strategically assemble your AC for certain missions and so if repairs are needed it doesnt cost you all your money.. thats right realism is a factor in this game.. ammo costs money weapons cost money damages and repair cost money but the good thing is you get money for completing missions some, you get money up front and you dont even have to finish the mission although doing that sometimes gives you a little bonus, though you do get grades for finishing missions correctly or not.. like this is how it goes from good to bad: S, A, B, C, D,...

THE GOOD:
Graphics, speed, controlls, smoothness.

THE BAD:
codes, hardness level of enemies.

SUMMARY:
This game is really great and is fun too, but most of the codes don't work. The code for getting a defeated AC's emblem dosen't work. But the graphics have definintly improved, the speed and sound are also alot better than the old ones, and the controlls are so easy to use making it easy to start playing pretty well right away. The thing that makes this game annoying is the computer player's ACs! They are sooo hard, and weapons ammo takes so much money if you want a good one! I'm saying that you need to be a near perfect marksman to nail stuff with somthing powerful and get some cash or you die because you took too long with a weak low cost weapon. But still everything else makes up for that.

THE GOOD:
Ammount Of Customisation Possible
Gameplay
Effects
Atmosphere
Intro FMV (Pure Ownage)

THE BAD:
Music is a little repetative

SUMMARY:
1) Cool factor: You have a massive mech with big guns and work for companies against each other, for cash, can it get much cooler then that?

2) Customisation: Whats more EVERYTHING on this mech of yours (an AC or Armored Core) is customisable with seemingly hundreds of different parts to pick from

3) Weapons: Everything from Rifles to Machene Guns, to Rocket Launchers, to Energy Rifles, to Mine Layers, To Laser Swords, you name it its there

4) "Legs": Biped, Quadraped, Reverse Joint, Hover, Tred, at least 5 in each section, again loads of customisation

5) Gameplay: Intense heated battles where you realy dont know if your gonna win or not, and long missions with little units to wear you down (Or slaughter mercilessly if you need stress releif)

6) Opening: It kicks butt, showing a full AC Battle with almost every aspect (Apart from Leg Variations) of the gam...

THE GOOD:
Most things that were seriously missing form the first two make it into this title. The arena returns and there are tons of totally new missions. Every part is new, although they are much like the old parts with new looks. No more lagging with huge missle barages, and finally, you can use the analog.

THE BAD:
The lack of plot is still a major issue. Most people dont play the game for the story. Not too engrossing, and a complete lack of subplots may leave you feeling a bit mad. Other than that, not much. The versus mode could have been built on, as it offers the most promise. Not being able to select the top pilots in 2 on 1 battles is a little frusterating, but thats it.

SUMMARY:
Easily the best installment in the series to date, AC3 shatters the last two installments in every way. Less lagging and shorter load times leads to more action.

A completely new part lineup has been added. Each one is new, but the old ideas are the same. Kinda like a different look for the same par...

THE GOOD:
Building of the parts and creating a human jiggsaw puzzle with the power and speed or the power and the armor you could ever want, this game is rated highly amongst the users of it. Being its a nice game with controled attitude and difficulty on finding the parts that are hidden in certain levels and competing for parts and money in the arena, alongside the arena the multiplayer internet this game is a true must amongst those who love building things but love to play with the guns and glory of the battles.

THE BAD:
A few flaws graphics wize and they should have made the game a little harder then it is, once beat its a walk in the park.

SUMMARY:
On my personal opinion...the game is great. Perfectly rounded on the weapons, figuring out how much energy you need, ammo, blade or shielding, checking your weight capacity along with your speed configuring your map, checking your headparts weither or not you want with alot of armor points or you want a map built into the head piece, cor...

THE GOOD:
With the all new part designes, levels, consorts, mazes on the levels, fun surviving and finding ways to evade missiles and such, hidden parts, almost as fun as Armored Core 1, 2 and Another Age. Plus with the addition of the lighting effects makes it almost a must, effects on the gun effects also with the boosters if you look closley you can see a swiggle in the boosters lower part showing gas fumes, neato for the effects management, getting on the internet is also some fun but Im still trying to see about that. Arena has some challenges adapting to various arenas and finding ways to defeat multiple opponents. It is a good game and well worth the money payed for it.

THE BAD:
Hardly anything wrong with it. It does have some flaws. One is you cant load a Armored Core 2 data onto Armored Core 3.

SUMMARY:
Parts can be used as a jiggsaw puzzle to try and make the perfect Ac for you, naming your AC, painting it, giving it a emblem, completing missions and getting parts for doing a g...
