This game is very entertaining to me. It is also one of those games where either you love it completely, or hate it completely. The first few times you play the game, you will probably spend hours upon hours cursing at the game. ;) Either because you are trying to memorize all those tiny little buttons on that huge controller, or because you are trying to get used to the physics of the game. Later on, after playing for a while, you will be cursing because you just barely missed a targeted time or a power up. Either way, this game is fun, and honestly takes a step towards the ultimate improvement of simulation style video games. This game could be compared to the Armored Core series for Playstation and Playstation 2. I can only drool over the thought of what those games might have been like if they had a controller like this one built for them. The only problem that i have seen with this game is the very steep learning curve. I would say that this game is recommended for fairly advanced, and VERY patient players. However, patience and a will to learn the game will prevail, and may even be preferred, over any previous experience with this type of game. All in all, a very good game, but not quite excellent, due to the high ($100) initial price tag and steep learning curve.Read full review
This is without a doubt possibly the best original Xbox game released the unique controller feels close to having an Mech Arcade setup in your home. There is a community of us out there that are playing the second game Steel Battalion Line of Contact online through the program Xlink Kai and we always welcome new comers that want to get in on the game we host event nights every second weekend and during the week and anytime matches for those who want to have some good ol fashion Mech shooting fun. This game is still alive in 2019 and get new comers every couple weeks, if you're thinking about getting this game I hope you get a chance to read this review!
Verified purchase: No
Well, let's start with the realism factor with the huge 40 button controller that comes with the game. Very, cool. The fact that you actually have to go through like a 10 stage process just to start your Vertical Tank, is really awesome. It has other odd, but surprisingly cool features, like an eject button. Should you fail to eject while your VT is exploding, you die, and your save game is deleted. I know that sounds bizarre, but it adds to that realism factor. The game itself, probably couldn't stand on it's own without this joystick, though. So if you are deciding to purchase this, make sure it comes with the joystick, or don't waste your time. Unfortunately, the joystick doesn't work with any other game, except the sequel, which is a better game. The sequel also has a much needed online version, which I believe xbox has yanked support for. Yay microsoft!Read full review
OMG OMG OMFG!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! BEST XBOX EVER!!!!!! WHY DIDN'T I BUY THIS SOONER???!!!! Oh yeah, it had a $200 price tag on it lol. But it's worth every penny. I was lucky enough to get it for $100 bucks! It's kind hard to get use to, but once you get the hang of shooting, runing, looking around, and side stepping.... ALL AT THE SAME FREAKING TIME!!!... the game can get really fun. The controller is nothing short of amazing! 40 buttons, 2 sticks, 3 pedals, and lights! IT DON'T GET NO BETTER THAN THIS! GO GO POWER RANGERS INDEED! PS: If you have an modified xbox, you may have to go buy a non-modded xbox to play this game on like I did. Somehow the "ignition button" triggers the same function as pushing the "Back,B,L-Trigger, and R-Trigger" at the same time, resetting the xbox every time you try to start your VT.Read full review
Well this game is not for the average Gamer! It's a SIM! You are drawn into the world of the future were warfare now includes three story tall Battle Tanks called VT's (vertical tanks). Once you become a pilot and sucessfully manage your training, it's off to war! The learning curve of this game is very steep. The game is only available for Xbox and includes a 40 buton twin joystick, 3 peddle controller. The game can only be used with the Controller. You can network several Xboxes and have Multiplayer battles with each other if you also have the Multiplayer CD. So a Complete Steel Battalion system includes 2 CD's, a VT Manual, and the Controller. It comes in a camou looking Ammo Box. The average price is around $200.00, but can be found on Ebay for less.
Most of the other reviews pretty much hit the nail on the head. This game is awesome I am one of the few to own the original version (Red power-up lights instead of blue) and let me tell you this game does not get old. The "Eject" button is your best friend, later in the game, but as you start out your favorite button will be the windshield wipers!!! Yes it has wipers!!! As you learn to walk, literally, you will find yourself face-down in the dirt many times and you need to clean that view-screen, so use the windshield wipers!!!
this game... i've wanted it since i've first seen a tiny picture of the controller in a gaming magazine. back then it cost more than an XBOX! but now i own one of the most unique console games in history... its just too bad they shut down the online servers for the second installation. this game RULES if you're big into simulation gaming (like me) the ONLY 40-button dual joystick controller AND 3 foot-pedal peripheral make this game one-of-a-kind!! the learning curve with this game is pretty steep and the missions get more difficult as you go, but closing the hatch and starting up that mech make me giggle everytime, and theres about 10 different machines you can pilot. FIVE STARS
This is one of the most expensive but interactive and innovative games that XBOX ever came out with. This is for the serious hard core gamer who wants the most interaction possible in a game. The graphics are amazing and the 40 button controller is immerse. I have many hours of gameplay and the levels make you work hard. If you could build an enclosure for this game, believe me....you will feel like you are inside the mega machine! I love it and recommend it for anyone.
I had read reviews of this game before, and decided to check it out. The game is brilliant! Graphics are amazing, and the controller is a must. I ahve played many games, and quite a few were mech games, but this beats them all out. It is one of the few games I have ever played played that I could not beat in a week, on EASY mode! Obviously the difficulty is sure to challenge players of all ages. I would recommend this game to all who love giant, high-powered walking tanks and simulator games/rides.
Basically exactly what the title says. The disc was really old but So I didn't expect it to work excellent but the load times were HORRIBLE! 5 to an hour sometimes. I assuming it is because the disc was so used. But th controller worked as great as ever. Some uninportant pieces were broke off but none of the buttons were damaged. Be careful before you buy
