Customer Reviews
Awesome
Armored core is a really hit or miss series, but this title has to be one of the best. hundreds of items to customize your bot with, different colors, arena battles. Worth the money and then some, this has occupied a big percent of my gaming time.
#1 mech lover game!!!
Any one who likes the Armoredcore series will love this one. Theres 200+ parts,better graphics,better controls and completely better game play than all the others made. Overall this is the best game for any mech lover.
Inexcusably bad controls and load times ruin it.
This game has nice graphics and very cool mech designs.Creating your own custom mech is especially neat.Unfortunitly the controls and load times in this game are crap!
For controls:Instead of useing the left analog stick for moving/strafeing and useing the right analog stick for looking/aiming,the way it is in other mech games and FPS shooters.In Armored Core the left analog stick is used to move,the right analog stick goes tottally unused and you must press shoulder buttons just to look/aim up or down.Having to press shoulder buttons just to aim up or down is absurd.While the missions themselves are challeging on their own,the bad controls make the game 7-10 times harder! Almost unplayable at times.
The Load times:While the load times themselves are'nt THAT bad,unfortunitly its the style in which the game loads which is terribley frustrating.For example in the arena battles if you lose a fight and wish to replay it,instead of instantly begining the match,the game feels the need to load the whole thing up again! Hello the match is already loaded! Just restart it!!!! The mission levels are even worse.After loseing you don't have the option to instantly restart,instead the game sends you all the way back to the menu screen and you have to re-select the mission,skip the briefing and wait for the mission to load....ALL....OVER....AGAIN!
You'd think with the way the load times are a bit high,that the developers would have taken the time to make things as convienent as possible.There is no excuse for such sloppy programing.
Overall the horrible controls and terrible loading completly ruin this game and make for quite a frustrateing experience.Somehow i also get the feeling that the makers of this game don't want you to play it either.
The best of the AC series!
For those of you who love the Armored Core games, this is the best game out so far yet. Its way better than Armored Core 3. this game has new arena opponents to battle as well as new battle grounds to choose from. The AC garage is better that the origional AC Garage. It has more weapons and equipment to mount onto your AC and the paint shop gives a new feature, such as giving your AC camoflauge and gives you the option of using a first-person view mode. They also have new emblems to chose from. If you loved playing Armored Core 3, then you have to get this game. Trust me, it's worth it.
A Fun and Frustrating Game
I was really looking forward to owning Silent Line: Armored Core but was a little let down after playing through the first couple of missions.
If you're the type who likes big bad mechs with plenty of customization options, this may game will be of interest to you. If you only have a passing interest in this genre (as I do) then this game may frustrate you too much to enjoy.
Several of the missions are EXTREMELY difficult and MUCH practice is needed which often involves playing the same mission over and over.
The graphics are ok as is the sound but the gameplay is a little on the clumsy side.
As I hinted at above, this game's real strong point is in the customization options. It's really alot of fun putting together you mech from a large variety of parts including arms, legs, heads, cores, weapons, back units, radiators, boosters, etc... Then of course you have to choose on a color scheme which is also quite fun.
All in all this game is alright but I wouldn't go forking out the cash for this title if you're not a big fan of big robots.
