Seriously back into a tree and you're flying blind. I'd much rather get a fully destructible environment, or less choppy graphics and views. options are great, but overload the player and we lose interest. T he variety of parting out your mech may seem like an awesome option, but can excess be, well excess? Yes! Hey game developers. They make you wish you were back in your mech kicking ass again. The on-foot missions are pretty basic, and the controls seem disconnected and wanky (wanzers huh, I can say wanky).īut these do one thing well. The missions are varied, but still have the same feel. You pilot these mechs called "Wanzers".really? Wanzers, I'm pretty sure that's what I called alot of fanboy nerds back in the day, but oh well. Thankfully unlike the Armored Core series, these mechs have a "heaftier" feel than the lighter ballet mechs of other series. Starting off, you're basically playing a FPS, but get a better sense that you're actually piloting a massive mech. In a world of saturated FPS heavy hitters, what's truly left out there for variety providing a sense of freshness? Well, I guess this will do.

Unlike earlier games in the series, Front Mission Evolved was developed by third-party studio Double Helix, a division of the Foundation 9 group whose previous work includes G.I. In some sequences, Dylan must leave his Wanzer, and play continues with him on foot as he enters buildings and other interior locations to complete mission objectives. While he may not be the most willing soldier at the start, the know-how to fix damaged mechs in the field comes in handy. Players take the role of a mechanic named Dylan Ramsey, who runs into some trouble with authorities and is forced to join the military.

Set in the second half of the 22nd century, the game's sci-fi plot involves sabotage of an orbital elevator and the international adversities that follow. A bullet-time styled feature allows players to temporarily slow the action down, for super-accurate, high-velocity shooting against multiple targets.

As they gain experience and treasure by accomplishing objectives, players can purchase custom improvements for their Wanzer walkers. Missions are set in sprawling urban environments, where collateral damage can be a factor.

The title's "evolution" from previous Front Mission games marks a major switch in playing style, from turn-based tactical combat to fast-paced third-person shooting.
