Classic Armored Core Action - Usual Armored Core Lack
2 of 2 found this helpful I was glad to recieve the game and start playing, I was thrilled to have an Armored Core series game for the PSP, until I found out how much the potential of the game was ignored.
There is no internet multiplayer, only ad-hoc. If you do not have friends/friends with psps/friends with psps with the same game, its of no use to you.
There is only arena styled play, there is no single player campaign and the rise to Rank 1 is very easy and very short. I did it in a week or less. After achieveing rank 1 the only thing to do is fight the same opponent or all of your previous opponents. The game is lacking a single player campaign and multiplayer functions. I sold the game recently to a local game shop, that was probably my only greatly positive experience with the game. The game was fun, but I should have rented before shelling out $40 + s/h.
The graphics, sound, and flow of the game are all amazing. However some of the battles can be aggrivating and if you like to throw things this probably wouldn't be a great game for you. My PSP survived so it isn't impossible to enjoy this game. As for control you have to get use to it and it is hard to keep total control of the AC in battle, kind of blocky movement. I disliked the fact that most if not all of the parts were already availible for all of your AC's to use. I also did not like the AI abilities as they seemed completely useless, I pwned all of the contenders using manual and do not trust AI to do the job without a bunch of technical hassle.
