A Perfect Way to Ruin a Franchise

User Rating: 5 | Front Mission Evolved PS3
I remember the old PS1 version and thinking, "Wow, this is real good!". I love SRPG's and sure enough it was the Front Mission series that started it all!

Characters, storyline, customizable mech... its all there and the gameplay made you think. If you over-extend you're pretty much dead...if your too close together, you may not fullfill the objectives fast enough... Overall the FM series was quite memorable.

Flash forward to now... In an age where glitz and glamour are more prevailent to gameplay, I'm quite sad that I bought this pathetic excuse for a game. If I wanted a game similar to Zone of Enders, I would have replayed that game. If I wanteda Dynasty Warriors type game... I would have played that too.

What you get in this game is a game stripped to the core... the action is bland and plain. Its really all easy-mode.... the bosses take a while to kill, but powerups and regen along the way will make you outlast them.

The storyline is classic FM, but it all stops there. The graphics are gorgeous, but like a lot of games in the past... just because you have crappy gameplay.... graphics will not save you..

AVOID this game... its not worth it, FM should stick to SRPG... this may get new fans... but it will lose A LOT of the old ones.
