I've played every front mission available in the US, and this one holds it's own in the series. Overall I loved it.

The graphics are great; the game play is solid and it has great customization of its wanzers

The story is a little thin by comparison to the previous games; I don't consider that an issue however as the game play is the real draw of this title

It was a brave move to step away from Front Mission's core SRPG audience, and it's difficult to see why that hardcore bunch would purchase this game – from that viewpoint it's disappointing because there's little to join this title up to the long running series.

Plenty of mech customisation; The cutscenes are watchable; The game over situation isn't torture

The combat is much the same over and over; Boss battles are mostly just health based; On foot missions could use more polish

My Purchase. The only reasons that I bought this game were 1.I wanted to know if it was any good. 2.It was actually fairly cheap for me to buy. I paid less than ￡10 for this on the same day one of my friend bought it for ￡24.99 because he went to a local chain store (ha ha) and I went online.

Good controls; decent gameplay and looks amazing

Takes the game in a new direction compared with previous versions

When it comes to game titles, the word 'evolved' seems entirely misplaced as it suggests this game is an improvement on the previous title. It isn't. There are some good points to this game. The graphics are a lot better and pretty good when compared to other games.

Overall this game is an average 3rd person shooter with a mech twist. Despite being perched in the cockpit of a building sized walking battle tank, the game plays like any other 3rd person shooter - notably when you leave your mech (sorry... they call them wanzers...

Although we're used to taking the bad with the good, there's nothing that bugs us more than when a game comes along that we can't help but feel could - indeed, should - have been better than it ultimately is.

I finally picked this game up now that's its reduced in price to see how it was since I did enjoy past Front Mission titles. They changed the game from what it used to be which was a tactics game like Orge Battle, Final Fantasy Tactics etc etc .

Front Mission Evolved does offer some doses of fun, but the campaign is far too short with a story that is patchy at best. More entertainment can be found online, but even at the relatively close proximity to launch, the community is worryingly small.

Front Mission Evolved is competent but average. The good ideas were here but they couldn't translate into the execution.

Front Mission Evolved brings the classic Front Mission franchise into an action-packed third-person shooter that gives players full control of a massive humanoid war machine - the wanzer.
