  • Summary: In the distant future, massive urban development and pollution have critically damaged the planet. There is widespread fear that the end of the world is approaching. The League corporations, a military superpower, control the planet's infrastructure and have forced most of the world's population to live in huge aerial communities, called Cradles, to avoid the contamination. The ORCA, a rebel resistance still residing on the surface of the polluted planet, have amassed a formidable arsenal and are mobilizing to attack The League's bases to put an end to their iron grip on the planet. As a mercenary armed with cutting-edge military robot technology, choose your side and defeat the other factions by harnessing the power of the deadliest and most gigantic weapons ever created by mankind. For the first time in the series, cut your way inside colossal mobile battle stations and destroy them from their very core. Identify and exploit the weaknesses of 10 uniquely designed GIANT mobile battle stations to defeat them. Cooperate online with a friend in more than 30 missions or face up to 7 other players online in more than 80 different battlefields. Find the right combination of weapons and armor that will help you take down colossal enemies. With more than 130 new parts and 400 parts total, enhance your mech to take on increasingly deadlier mobile battle stations. Create the perfect mech design to defeat a powerful enemy and share it with your friends online. [Ubisoft]… Expand

    Not an unexpected sequel but still a very good game.

    The game is solid, looks good and plays well, but it just has a "feel" that's not for everyone.

    The latest Armored Core makes up for the series' lack of progress by simply being fun to play.

    What's so strange about For Answer is its trading of extensive customization for actual gameplay. Sure, you can build the ultimate mech, customizing it to your heart's content, yet when you actually play the game, you realize its shortcomings.

    This game has evolved intensely since the original PS1 days. Today the maps, graphics and physics engines, weaponry, story, voice acting, special commands (boosts in flying etc) and everything else are so far advanced in a one-of-a-kind sort of gameplay. It's unlike any other game on the market. As far as I know there are no competitors for the Armored Core series, and this latest addition to the series is really, really good.… Expand

    this is the kind of game i've been waiting for. a classic,
    technically, and a modern masterpiece. the movie sequences have been created     with what looks to me to be some of the most impressive graphics engine ever. the actions and the plot are two important things for me in several ways and this game nails both in extremely well done ways. i am more than content with this game. ...stoked!… Expand

    Do not miss this game. Most especially if the Armored Core series is one in which you are familiar with. The best of the best, this game offers all the large battles, a great story, co-op mode, custom mech creation, fabulous online play, this one has it ALL. Though this series is fairly popular, it doesn… Expand

    Worth playing. When you get used to the controls, you have one of the most chaotic games out there. Story was, for the most part, good. I did however have a lot of aggravating levels. The story, in my opinion, is not as good as silent line, my favorite game in the series. Other than that, this game is something everyone should at least rent… Expand
