  • Summary: It's been 20 years since the Earth Government and the Corporations battled for supremacy. The majority of humanity lives beneath the surface of the planet, relatively safe from the continuing struggle. A new and mysterious entity has entered the picutre, however, snapping up all the available Ravens for intense missions that only their custom-built Armored Core Units can handle. As a Raven, you know there's always another mission waiting for you - does it really matter who, or what, hires you? For all the new parts and weapons out there for you to earn in battle - we didn't think so. But just the same, keep your back covered, Raven. [Agetec]… Expand

    A very entertaining mech combat title with lots of options and missions to keep you going for many a night.

    I just wish the series would commit to more than gradual improvement. At this pace, it looks like I'll be able to give an unqualified thumbs-up round about "Armored Core 5" -- say, four or five years from now.

    One of the best PS2 mech titles in the market today, one that stand head-and-shoulders above better-publicized competitors like TDK Mediactive’s “Robotech: Battlecry” and Bandai’s “Gundam: Federation Vs. Zeon."

    It's very similar to its predecessors in both strengths and weaknesses. [Oct 2002, p.30]

    This game is cool! It combines stratergy with brute strength to boost it to it's deserved level of superiority.

    Some of the missions are laughable... way too easy, while some are insanely difficult, almost impossible. The game doesn't have that epic feel of a truely good game, but It is ok for some light entertainment. It wont keep you sitting for too long though.… Expand

    I also played armored core 2 and 2 another age. I liked just strait 2 the best. 3 was fun but it just was either way to easy or insanly hard. I found that if you want to get cash go and fight in the arena for a while. The missions give MUCHO cash but sometimes they just too hard. If you buy any AC games get 2 cause it is the best!… Expand
