Quote:
The Good

* Taking on an arms fort is awesome and exhilarating
* Heightened speed and destructible environments make for thrilling battles
* Improved interface makes customization easier
* Online co-op play for the first time in the series.
Quote:
The Bad

* It's functionally the same as previous games in the series
* Environments are bland and unappealing
* Practically no one plays online.

GameSpot Score
7.0 good

Big, hulking robots. Towering, defensive behemoths ready to blow those same robots to smithereens. These are the key players in developer From Software's latest entry in the Armored Core series, the confusingly subtitled For Answer. They're also the main draw for longtime fans who have been tweaking mechs and taking them into battle since 1997. While this entry may not be the deepest or most involving game in the series, an increased sense of speed, highly destructible environments, and intense battles against gargantuan arms forts make this a game that should please both stalwart enthusiasts and newcomers alike. Not that this is a leap forward for the franchise--For Answer's environmental visuals are still extremely bland, and the gameplay, while tweaked, is much the same as it's been for years. But if you like to blow stuff up with giant metal automatons, this is your game.

I pretty much agree with the review minus the part about the AF fights. They were anything but exhilarating. It was soooo disappointing how easy they were. I don't think it took me longer than one minute to destroy any of them. Maybe hard mode will be different but I dunno- blades seem way to OP for the single player... or just OP altogether.
