In three words - ''I liked it''.
Mecha, mecha and more MECHA! I cant say that I'm a big fan of robots, or armour suits like Front Mission Evolved has. Can' say that I like mecha genre anime that much either...but I can say one thing for sure - Front Mission Evolved is worth playing!
When I checked the game on gamespot, I thought it to be total crap, I mean, look at the screenshots - they are awful :D And graphics - for a game that was released in 2010 - grahics arent that great, game graphic would fit in 2007- 2008, then again, you can quickly get used to it, of course another letdown was that environment(houses n stuff) didn't break, that would certenatly add more fun into the game.
Storyline - usual hero stuff that everyone likes, same goes for me :D
Gameplay - FUN! LOTS OF FUN :D Blasting robots into pieces with your own customized robot suit, what else do you need? :D Lots of action from the start till the game ends, only bad thing about it - was that I finished it in...erm....6 or 9 hours, somwhere in between, but cant say that game was too short or anything like that - it was just FINE - in other words as long as it should be, considering that you can call it shooter.
Anyway, to any of you who loves EPIC graphics n stuff, dont play it, to others who love mecha genre anime or who is just robot freak - PLAY IT! I'm sure u will love it :)
