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.
The weapons are crisp and the explosions are deep enough to rattle the little speakers - or your headbones if you're wearing headphones. The techno music is more fitting than the generic wrestling rock tunes of Mech Assault.
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 beautiful spectacle, a colossal challenge, and a lack of action and excitement. The visuals captivate; the gameplay frustrates.
The most appealing aspect of this game is also its most hindering. Unlike previous AC titles, this time you can leave your hands in your pocket, and let an AI control your mech for the duration of all of your battles.
Likely to satisfy Armored Core fans, but those who are looking for an action game are likely to be disappointed.
It's so stiff and sluggish that you'll often find yourself wondering if the buttons on your PSP are shorting out. [Nov 2005, p.180]
