Armored Core 3

THE GOOD:
good...effects explosions were nice on the effects arena has its own difficulty and its neat to figure out a few of the maps and find tricks to dodge the missiles and such, painting your AC, designing your emblem and cockpit even naming your AC its the ultamite simulation to building a robot and doing as you wish with it.

THE BAD:
items are good but still alot of them has the cons more then pros, for those who dont know how to use them your in trouble with the bazooka and such.

SUMMARY:
armored core 1 was a demo i played before i was intrested in it, i bought AC3 and it is one of the best games iv tampered with. finding ways to build the ultimate AC is like a jiggsaw puzzle and it never stops to amaze me everything is diffrent and the hidden parts and how to get them adds to the mixture of the fun. great game and well worth the time and money.

THE GOOD:
AC3 as most refer to it is an exhilerating, and addicting game if you have a wide variety of opponents to play against. The diversity in the mech's you can construct is also a plus.

THE BAD:
The storyline doesn't have that much of an impact to get you to stick to playing it, and it usually leads you to play all the levels which shouldn't be the case.

SUMMARY:
Do you enjoy mech games, or those games that involve robots? Do you love fiddling with specs, stats, and constructing mechs? This game is definitely for you.

The graphics of the game is not too shabby, and it is enough to catch the player's eye. The detail of the mechs, the maps, and the weapons are great, so you can just go through the levels to sight-see if you want. Be careful of the enemies though, they're smart.

The game's AI seems to have improved; making the arena enemies a bit hard but certainly not impossible to defeat.

In short, the game is something worth buying.

THE GOOD:
Fun and 4 player

THE BAD:
To short and NO ONLINE PLAY

SUMMARY:
I got this game the first day it came out and it was fun to play for 8 hours ever day. It was to short I think the Arena is fun but the idea of having to get so far in the missions to get to #1 was a bad idea.
But all and all this a fun game and I love to play it. The missions are fun I most say in the old AC games like AC2 and AC2:AA the missions wereso boring. The Arena in this game is fun as hell but it takes to long to get to the top of the thing because you have to beat like 30 missions to get to the damn top.

THE GOOD:
-Graphics are nice a detailed
-Easy to use controls
-Lots of parts to upgrade your AC
-Fun VS. mode

THE BAD:
-Way too short
-right joystick isnt used

SUMMARY:
Well I havent played Armored Core since the Playstation so it was anice experience to get back and fight with a AC. This game has some good and some bad. It has LOTS of parts to change your AC to match your personality, A ranking system where you challange other people in the Ravens, Paint for your mech, About 50 missions and some other things. But this game is way too short. I beat it in a couple of days and i kinda got board with it. There is only so much you can do with it. And most of the game is making your AC better looking and making your own emblem.

Bottemline: if your a real die-hard AC fan than this game is for you, but if your not its worth a rent.

THE GOOD:
Let's see... Better graphics, better looking parts, guns and blades for the wrong arm (LOL), WAY better levels, 4player VS., cooler looking parts, extensions that are actually USEFUL, better parts, better parts, did I mention better parts? Go to the store and buy NOW.

THE BAD:
NO ONLINE PLAY. The sole flaw in an otherwise perfect game.

SUMMARY:
Buy it now. NOWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUMMARY:
Gameplay:

The move to analog control was finally completed, which makes playing the game a lot easier. The lack of analog was my main complaint in previous Armored Core titles. The frame rates in this game are incredibly smooth, and the action never "slows down". Even when there are four players on screen the frame rate stays perfectly smooth and never skips a beat, which is a huge plus.

The controls for this game are very easy to learn and are also highly effective, allowing you to get the most out of your mechanized creation. My only complaint are the button combos required to drop weapons. Most of them involve pressing 5 buttons at once - not necessarily difficult, but it does require you to take your hand off the analog joystick and stop moving, which is not something you generally want to do under fire. Still, this is a very minor complaint and overall it doesn't impact gameplay.

The missions are not nearly as repetitive as they used to be. Some...

THE GOOD:
200 + parts , hiring peeps (MT's and AC's), and u get 2 carry double up guns, and u can jettison ur weapon, shield bashing, and the 4 way battle

THE BAD:
Nothing i know bout

SUMMARY:
Recloud4:
1st: there is 50 missions u fool
2nd:and if u think it's hard, then u can go play ur chessy poor ass super nintendo (it's not that hard there noob)
3rd:just because u can't afford 4 controllers doesnt mean there isn't 4 players
4th: there is a reason it's called a large missle
(or it's just your car standard)
mikepavy:
1st:u NEVER play games out of order u play ac1 , ac2 ,ac2:aa,ac 3
2nd:if u don't understand the briefing or game objective go over it agin (or repeat grade 3)
3rd:

THE GOOD:
the greatest thing is the customization native to all ac games. the versus thingis awsome. 100 missions is more than before. graphics are the best,

THE BAD:
for 100 missions, it sure is short. the difficulty difference. in some areas, they have easy, i mean easy, and other punch-the-wall-and-scream-your-lungs-out are there. 4 players vs. would be better than 2.bad scale graphics. the large missile is as big as a car.and the laboratories u go to are conveniently over sized to fit ur ac. the employees aren't that big so y would they need to build so big.

SUMMARY:
u can always play this game. me and my bros have our own tournaments and i always win. but if he does something that beats me bad, i just switch guys and beat him back. 3ac's and godd but we like good old american excess.

I got the chance to play this game around a month or so ago on an friend's japenase PS2 with import copy of AC3.

Keeping in mind I never have played an AC Game, expect for the demo for AM2. I found this game to be very dull, and the mission descripitions were often much more enteirtaining than what the actual mission was like.

Mindless objectives as, defeat these guys, then move here, defeat this guy, repeat process 10 times.

What the game lacks in gameplay it makes up for in the beautifull graphics, everything is very detailed even down to the jet trails.

Also it is very cool to customize your Mech with I swear hundreds of different parts. But yet, 70% of the gameplay as editing the mech unit and not played it.

Godo game, but I don't see it fitting a 50 USD Price Tag.
