Review:
I have been playing Front Mission Evolved on Xbox 360 for a few weeks now. Basically you play a man who take control of a "Wanzer" basically a huge robot.
You then go on missions. As you progress through the game you can add weapons, armour and other things to your Wanzer.
The graphics and sound are incredible and will blow you away. The gameplay is good. Although I got the feeling that I was playing Transformers. In fact I even ended up modifying the colours and design of my Wanzer to make it look like Optimus Prime.
Ok so the game isn't very original, but it is very playable. You can "skate" around, hover, and fly short distances. You get to blow things up. You get to customize your Wanzer which in turn affects the way you play, either in sniper mode equipping your Wanzer with long rang weapons, or heavy attack whereby its all action close up blast them away. Or somewhere in the middle.
The online modes are decent, but I wouldn't advise jumping straight into it before you learn the game better, otherwise you will get blown away very quickly in the Deathmatches.
Overall a decent game, single player mode is good fun, and multiplayer will always keep you coming back for more.
8/10
