If you want great arcade action with minimal thinking, then pick this game up. Because once you go Mech/Jet you never go back.
What it lacks in style or personality, Gun Metal more than makes up in gameplay and action.[Sept 2002, p.90]
The problem is that the missions you’ll have to complete consist almost entirely of defending this or that base, or playing escort to a group of ships. In other words you spend too much time defending and protecting and not enough time in one-on-one dogfights and full-on combat without worry of damaging friendly units.
The game's somewhat sticky control and straightlaced mission design keep Gun Metal's gameplay from living up to the strength of the idea.
Lack of strategy, complexity, longevity and intensive AI and multiplayer modes which are usually the foundation of true mech warfare are absent here. I would consider this more of an advanced 2nd or 3rd generation shoot’em up with extra eye candy.
The game's title perhaps best describes the taste left in one's mouth after playing it than anythihng else. [Fall 2002, p.118]
The large levels are deceptive, as these do not provide freedom to explore. Even the much-maligned "Wild Metal" managed to offer some degree of exploration, and atmosphere.

Summary Gun Metal is a futuristic action-packed experience where you take control of the fully transformable prototype combat vehicle known as the Havoc Suit. Use the Havoc Suit to battle-ground-based enemies, or transform in the blink of an eye into an agile jet and take on aircraft in high-speed dogfights. Either way, get ready for mind-blowin...
