Right, I'm a real fanatic when it comes to mecha games. Let's talk about mechas and why you like or dislike them. Let me start off
Armored Core- it's a mecha game in the PS and PS2. One thing that interested me in buying this game is that you can
make your own set up for your mecha. There are a lot of options to choose from and I still haven't unlocked them
all. I'm playing Armored Core 3 Silent line and I'm trying to complete all parts. Of course I've played
Nexus and the installments of the game. There are a lot of missions to complete too, it will make you busy for quite a
while. Some missions are hard to accomplish and will require some skill. There is also an arena where you can go one on
one with the game's different AIs. And another reason i liked this game is that you can strengthen your own AI,
which takes a lot of time.
The downside of this game is that you'll need an above average skill level in controlling your AC and some players tend to give up rather than get used to the controls. It's quite difficult to master the controls for it requires full use of almost all your fingers. It's still difficult even if you are skilled but fun. Another thing is that once you memorize the moves of the AI, they are easy to beat.
Zone of the Enders and ZOE second runner- If you want a fast paced mecha game this is the game for you. The action is high speed, heck I believe this one of the most exciting mecha games because of the pace in the game. Most of the time it will leave you hanging in the edge of your seat. There are a variety of weaponry to choose from too. High speed action is the name of this game. There is a two player mode and an extra mission mode where you can try out different modes of the game.
The downside is that the game is pretty short, you can probably finish it in less than 50 hours maybe less. And maybe the lame name of the second protagonist of the game...Dingo But it is an exciting game to play.
Xeno Gears- yeah the one in the PS1 in the later part of the game you can customize different gears used by the
characters in the game. You can change almost anything and there's an adequate selection of weapons.
Gundam Games- Yeah, I've played a few...specifically the Battle Assault games and some of the Gundam strategy games the latest one I've played is Gundam Seed. There's nothing really special about it but it's a nice game to play, but it's gets frustrating at one point because of the conditions you need to complete. I particularly like the Battle Assault 2 because most of my favorite gundams are there...one mobile suit, Wing Zero Custom nuff said.
Super Robot Wars- I for one hasn't played this..but I see my friends play it and it's really good if you look
at it. Even if it's only in Japanese it's still an interesting game. Mostly a strategy game it will make you
think of complex and not so complex strategies to beat the enemies. The only thing that bothers me is the very long time
duration of a single mission, one mission would most likely take 3-4 hours to finish. If you're a real fanatic of
this game...you sure got guts.
So what mecha games do you know? Post them here and let's dicuss them for fun.
