Good game, but only worth renting
The first thing is the story, the story and cut scenes are horrible, its like watching bad acting on soaps. After watching the first few I started skipping them, they are not worth watching and don't add to the game in any way.
Controls:
The overall controls are good but I have a list of issues. One you can't change control or game setting while playing the game, makes it hard to tweak the controls. Move than 30% of your time in the game you will not control you character, because everything stuns him. Such as a near miss of an attack or a big near by enemy. You character will stumble which you have no control over. Every boss fight is the same, you shoot it to death between it stunning you.
Graphics: The graphics in this game are pretty good, there is a nice level of detail in everthing in the game.
Sound: Besides the sound of the bad cut scenes the sounds it good but there are alot of background noises in the game that get annoying.
Gameplay: Besides the constent character stumbling the game is fun, weapon selection is pretty good but some weapons seem to be worthless or only useful in very few instances/fights. Attaching weaspons the the mechs/AV's is annoying. If you ware holding a mech weapon to attach to a mech you have to stand in a specific spot by the mech to be able to do it, its hard to find the spot sometime in the heat of battle. AI: The AI is horrible, I have yet to have a challenge from non boss units, I have even had many experience where I could see shots landing around me but it took me a minute to find who was shooting at me, yet with me standing around they still couldn't hit me. I even had one instance where a enemy was directly behind me with a energy rifle and must have shot at me 30 times and never hit me. Now I have only played on normal mode but I have only been killed by bosses so far in this game.
