    I won’t lie and say there aren’t some playability and accessibility problems to be found here, however with everything this game does so remarkably right there’s no doubt in my mind that Armored Core: Formula Front Extreme Battle is one of the best reasons to own a PSP right now.

    A quality mech title that’s suitable for AC fans and anyone who loves tinkering with menus and options.

    The mech sim retains much of its gameplay mechanics and addictiveness for its jump to the PSP, but still only for those hardcore fans.

    A game that will appeal to no one, but if you're the exception to the rule, please send a photo as we're curious to know what you look like. Cheers. [June 2006, p.69]

    I think that this was a very good game, despite some issues that I had with it. Now, I am one of those guys that are addicted to these games (I got hooked on AC3), and i can see what people mean when it has accessibility issues, but I started playing when I was 9-10, so if you keep at it, anyone can figure it out. Although, I do miss the missions.… Expand

    Impressive presentation and customisations but very thin gameplay. Everything feels sluggis and the control feels right a times and very poor at others depending wich mech you are using and wich one you are fighting. The music often overlaps itself wich kinda sucks. I am amazed at how many titles could have been great but are just average or even bellow average because of some obviously fun gameplay elements that were underdeveloped. Rent first as this game is a bit weird. Its a cross between a simulator , a mech building kit and a 1 on 1 action shooter and not neccessarly the best representation of all those types of gameplay.… Expand
