Front Mission Evolved may be one of the most misleadingly named games released in a long time. You'd expect the game to be well, an evolution, of the long-running Front Mission franchise.

A fast-paced Front Mission reboot minus the RPG gameplay of previous games; Solid mission variety and gameplay mechanics; Tons of customization options

For all its shortcomings, we still quite like Front Mission Evolved, especially as it manages to imbue a feeling of power in the player with its well made shooting mechanics better than many other shooters.
