    I have played all AC games prior to this one and AC4 is by far the best of the series!

    This game is pretty sick, and really hard. I've been a long time fan of the series and this game finally revitalized my love for mech fighting games. It's high speed and sick graphics make this game much better than the other ones, but the only problem i have is that is has a very steep learing curve that makes it very hard just to pick up and play. This game really focuses on "Practice makes perfect", and you have to practice a lot before you jump into a mission.… Expand

    I understand this game is more geared towards the AC hardcore. But once you get passed the learning curve, it is a pretty amazing game.

    Excellent game despite what most critics say. Single player is on the short side but you can play through it again on hard with extended objectives. Multiplayer is also a blast. If you are into mech games you are in for a treat!

    The game is much better than the previous one . you are allowed to use your boost for a great amount of time. the addition of the quick boost is insane adding much movement to your AC. I was always a fan of armored core and now i'm a bigger one

    The controls are great once you get them customized properly*fire buttons on L1 and R1), with nimble movement and crazy bursts of speed seldom seen outside of anime, but this dexterity is wasted on short missions, bare-bones multiplayer, and the same ol' gameplay AC has been recycling for years.

    AC4 feels like a house that's been added onto so often that it's a maze of twisting passages, oddly shaped rooms, and doors that go nowhere. There may be something worthwhile hidden within, but it's not worth the effort to find it. Time to tear it all down and start over.

    It looks nicer, it plays faster, and with its lower barrier to entry, Armored Core 4 should appeal to more than just the series' faithful gearheads.
