RAD: Robot Alchemic Drive

Robot Alchemic Drive:
Well, R.A.D. is a very revolutionary game (and everyone knows those are rare nowadays) It is a Mech game with some really cool twists, You don't ride in your mech/robot...
you actually control it by remote control, your always looking for a better perspective to view the action.
you can get on top of buildings or stand in the street and risk getting clipped by a car. the perspective in this game is totally amazing, everything feels giagantic! The buildings loom huge over your puny little man, the giant fighting machienes are so large that you can't even see the top of the foot if you are on the ground! Enix actually made me feel like I was in a city that was being torn apart by these monstrous mechs. You play the son of a bankrupt corporate head, you've inherited a large corporation in debt and a little secret... your father spent all his funds on building a large robot to combat the alien invasion he imagined was imenent. well the jokes'...

I love the original controls. I think that the people who made them up should get a raise. The sound is good also. Except for the voices, the doctor dude speaks like Arnold Schwarzenegger only in a higher voice. The graphics are sweet also. Oh yeah, and the girl, runs like a girl!! I know I have more bad stuff than good. But the over all game is awesome.

THE GOOD:
The control scheme.

THE BAD:
The slow paced story line.

SUMMARY:
Get this game! You want something new? This is it. The sense of scale and destruction is prevalent because of the game's point of view when controlling your Meganite. You watch and control the action from wherever you choose your character to be in the scene. Too far and you might have difficulty seeing what you're doing and too close, you might get pummeled by your own mech when it gets pummeled by the enemy. You really feel like you're in total control of your robot because of the control scheme. You need the tutorial for this but the fun part is learning and mastering the controls. What are you waiting for? Go get it!
