Chromehounds

"A very fun team oriented game"

Let me start off by saying that if you don't like slow paced strategy games then this game is NOT for you. Chromehounds is a slow paced action game that almost requires teamwork. If you like to play on your own then you will lose a lot. A thing I hate about this game is that the menus are poorly designed. Seriously you have to navigate through mounds and mounds of menus to get to where you want to go.

Gameplay: 9
Just one complaint here, having to switch between first and third person view can get annoying. I mean was it that hard to put a crosshair in third person? Building your HOUND is amazingly fun. Some people complain that the HOUNDS move to slow, but honestly would you expect a hundred ton giant robot to move fast? The HOUNDS move like they should.

Multiplayer: 10
This game was built for multiplayer. I have never seen a more deep game in multiplayer. You'll spend countless hours trying to make your HOUND better. It gets so frustrating when your only a few pounds over your HOUND's load, in a good way though. Playing with your squad mates is insanely fun. A problem with this game is that there a lot of connection problems Another thing I don't like about multiplayer is that if you don't have a squad you can't participate in the Neroimus war. So if you don't have xbox live gold then don't buy this game.

Story: 7
Nothing special here, just a game that doesn't delve that deep into the storyline. The story is that illegal immigrants are arming themselves. But hey, at least its not aliens are attacking the earth.

Graphics: 8
The HOUNDS are insanely detailed. The back rounds l the ook awesome. One complaint here is that explosions don't look that detailed.

Overall: 9
After going through your first squad match you'll think that this game rocks, and it does it just plain rocks. It's amazingly deep and even if you don't like mech games you'll have great fun with this. One more thing you have to realize this is NOT Mechassult, it is a lot slower paced. So go get this game now
