Armored Core 2

"Be The Ninebreaker!"

Hello all, this is my first review!

AC=Robot according to this game.

GRAPHICS: The Grapics are amazing, from plasma explosions to the sky, everything is beutiful and rendered. Your AC looks like it is almost real! and you can even blow up some stuff in the battlefields! Like houses, I think this game really shows the PS2s power for a launch game. Their is a load of glitches in this game, and glitches sometimes make it fun for people, and sometimes it don't.

GRAPHICS: 9

CONTROL: Control in this game is not bad........ but some people don't like it, I liked it, but it takes time to get used to it. and the ACs are kinda slow. But their is more different controls then the other AC games on the PSX. Controls are a so-so. You might want to experiment with the controls first.

CONTROL: 7

GAMEPLAY: Gameplay is awesome, you get too customize your AC!, and fight a lot of other ACs in the Arena, and their are 58 arena competitiors, so its very fun! Their is alot of fun missions to tinker and play around in! Making your AC is the fun part! becuse this game is 2 player and you can fight your friends! with your customized AC!
The framerate is SLOW! in 2 player, and sometimes in the arena and missions! and with alot of replay value the gameplay in this game is very good.......

GAMEPLAY: 8

REPLAY: You can make your own emblem, and your own AC, and you can make your skills better in the Arena becuse their will be another installment to this game and it will be online, where you can bring your AC over to that installment! by memory card! and beating all the missions and buying all the parts in the shop, and trying to find the hidden parts in the missions. and lots of glitches to experiment with (NOTE: these glitches arn't annoying, and they are fun to experiment with!). it adds alot of replay value!

REPLAY: 10

OVERALL: This game is excellent I would recommend this game to people who likes Mechs, and like to take their time. You need to have alot of patience at the begening of the game, but after that, its all smooth, and fun. This game is glitchy too, so you may have second thoughts.......

OVERALL: 9

I say......... rent this game, see if you like it, becuse the Sequel to this game will be out soon! and it will be even better!
