Last Raven is the seventh and last Armmored Core title for the PS2, and it's definitely the best of the bunch. [July 2006, p.78]
The story is old hat, the telling of it is pretty lame but overall it serves as a good enough excuse to get into a giant robot and blow things up.

This game is great on it's own without any other titles in the series. Every part from the 3rd generation can be unlocked here, so if you love (well hidden) Easter eggs, this game is loaded with them. It's also the first game in the series with decent voice acting. It's very difficult until you understand the mechanics, so if you are not a masochist or god gamer, this might not be for you. There are ways to fool the AI that would not work against real players, but the trick isn't very obvious and still requires skill (and a high speed build) to implement. 1v1 combat with other players can get pretty deep. It does have many "useless" parts that I wish had some application, but once you find the right recipe, it's satisfying to play. I think giving it a "10" is way too generous, but I'm doing it anyway.

I have been incredibly fortunate to stumble upon this game series in 2022 it’s literally a breath of fresh air nowadays, a tiny warning, this game is quite hard but it won’t make it unbeatable, especially considering the lack if penalties for starting the game game from beginning as it leaves your progress with only missions being reset. Single player is fun and multiple endings allows you to replay it a bunch of times, if not for story then for unique parts. The customisation is really complex and the simple abc system is only the very first customisation screen, you can expand it into more in depth version

This is the Dynasty Warriors of mech games, and much like how that franchise is solidly enjoyable, so goes Armored Core.
Fans will be happy to see some of the battle and garage tweaks that make positive changes in the gameplay, but the uninteresting missions will dampen any excitement. Sadly, those want to check this out for the first time are getting the tiny end of the stick. Too much time will be spent researching and banging your head against the wall with a ridiculous amount of trial and error for a treat that's not nearly worth the effort.
If you've played the previous games in the series, you'll be right at home here, but you won't find much of anything new or different.
The presentation is weak, the gameplay flawed, and the reliance on insanely in-depth customization will likely end up annoying most gamers.
The Armored Core developers are celebrating the series' 10th birthday by giving you the same mech game they've pumped out since the beginning. [Jun 2006, p.92]
A bit unfair at times but still good fun. The customization is on point, the gameplay feels great, and it's challenging without feeling frustrating.

Even for the time a very unwieldy game. uses a very bad E to S stat system literally has no tutorial (lol not even messing on that one)
