Chrome Hounds is a real time action war strategy game. Simular in its presentation to the armored core (and to a lesser degree) gundam series. The robots, known as "hounds" range from slow and heavly armored to quick with minimal armor. Each robot can hold multiple weapons as well. At times the game has some minor squad based combat elements. The graphics and sound are (and should be) sharp, controls are extensive, using every butoon on the controller, but in 10 mins the buttons just make sense and using the controll becomes second nature. I hve yet to find anything that I dont like in the game, and for owning it over the last 2months (as of 2/10/07) I really dont think I will find a fualt with the game.
My roomate bought this game, and it is fairly good. The levels are large, the graphics are average for the 360 titles I have seen. The best part about this game is the online play. There is a battle going on at all times. You choose a clan to fight for, and go out and fight for an area. Win the battle, and the area becomes yours, lose and it becomes another clan's. You can start uprisings, and up to 4 clans can battle in one area at one time, so it adds a strategy element of who to pick as your allies in battles. The online is great, not much lag, however startup of a battle takes a LONG time (15 minutes). That would probably be my only gripe with the online play. Also, you can take the parts you have bought for your mech and trade with other people in your clan, so it is like an online swap meet. It would be much improved if you could make parts with your own settings and then be able to trade those parts with your friends. Overall, I liked this game, but if you don't have Xbox Live, it really isn't worth it, the single player is very monotonous and often boring. Buy it if you are a diehard fan of MechAssault, Gundam, and the like, (but if you are one of those fans, you've probably already bought it :)), and see for yourself. If you do decide to buy this, my gamertag is The Bustinator and my roomate's is JayNuman, and we play a good bit, so hit us up. Hope my review helped, if it did, hit the button that says so. Peace out, cub scouts.Read full review
Bought it because i was promised robots + weapons + good graphics. What happens is the single player is long, repetitive, and overall boring experience I could easily have lived without. However, it trains u in the neccessary basics of comabt, and rdys u for online play with real people. The multiplay, if utililzed correctly, is by far one of ther greatest xbox live titles. A country is split in half, u pick a side, and an actual "war" occurs. U may capture a state, yet when u go to sleep someone from another part of the world might rush and recapture it. When u wake up, the world has changed just liek in real life things actually happen. almost liek a separazte world, very addicting. No xbxo live= DO NOIT BUY. but if ur looking for good multiplay, look no furhter
The HOUND moves like a grandma, that means slowly. Graphics are okay, I've seen better. The HOUND has good detail everything else not so great. The gameplay is worthy enough to play. Toggling between the map, inside the HOUND veiw, weapons and the weapons range, and outboard camera is a little bit of a constant struggle of rediculousness. You're ever changing veiws and the map covers everything up so you can't leave it showing. When you get shot your HOUND's torso(is that the upper body?) well, whatever it is, the upper part of the mech gets thrown off target, usually you will be blasted and your warrior will be facing the ground. When you fire a shot the aimer moves slightly upwards so you must re-aim for your target, if it takes more than one shot to destroy. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, realistic or not, but it makes things take longer and causes you to take on some damage. It is however possible to run and gun at times but the running part is with HOUNDS with wheels not ones with legs. There is also a bit of annoyance understanding objectives, but if I can do it I'm sure you can. Overall, It's not a bad game but not a highly addictive game, at least not to me. Worth $15 probably like I gave for it. I'm sure someone could spend time with this one. Better than MechAssault I know that much. I hope you like my dumb way of writing, yes. I know you understood it, that's all that matters I hope.Read full review
Chromehounds is one of those games with a cult following. It's no Halo or GTA but those who like it play it all the time. Not unlike Halo, the majority of users prefer XBOX Live to play Hounds. The standard game isn't nearly as exciting or fun but playing against other people around the world adds to the fun. Another great thing about the game is the ability to build and modify your machine. While there are standard Hounds available, aquiring funds through victories provides you with the opportunity to modify the standard Hound with upgrades or even build your own Hound from the ground up. With all the different classes of Hounds, choices of upgrades, including weapons, the possibilities are nearly endless. There are different locations for battles and some options are better than others for each battle. Playing each one helps you choose the best Hound for that game. Playing online provides another facet to Chromehounds, teamplay. Playing one on one is fun but gathering up a group of friends to form a group is even better. Each player can choose a role and work together to defeat the opposing team. This is where Chromehounds really shines! If you like this type of game your love Chromehounds.Read full review
