Worth a look?. A great game,but some draw backs.
first is the control system. its hard as hell to master, sure you've got a choice of customising it but so far i haven't found a decent setup and i've had the game 2 months now.
Second is the skill involved in taking out your targets, the game does all the targeting for you, you just point it the guns it the general direction and shoot, and sometimes you don't even have to lock on to hit because the blast is so big. so for those who like to challenge themselves in combat this is not for you. there are some weapon choices that allow you to aim, but try doing that while constantly on the move and blasting from side to side dodging incoming fire.
However, despite these things its a great game that you can replay several times, testing mechs out in different combat situations, and the big explosions are really fun. the customising feature is brilliant though, from nippy mechs with rapid fire machine guns to hulking great lumps of metal blasting everything in their path. Also as you progress you can fine tune your mech as you aquire frs points.

AC as it always should have been. I always had one major problem with AC games - the control system. The games weren't always that great but they (generally) got better as time went on, but one thing that remained was the shockingly bad control system.
You could get used to it, but it never really worked. They tried to change it a few times, but none of that worked either.
Thankfully it now does. There are multiple control schemes, and if those don't work you can now customise your own layout (as far as I know this is the first AC game to offer that).
Aside from that, combat is more fluid as the 'NEXTs' you pilot in this game have improved capabilities over the tradiational ACs (the name for these new ACs being an excuse for gameplay differences compared to the other games), such as being able to hover along the ground without using energy. This also applies to water, so no more sinking and going out of bounds.
It also seems to me that the NEXTs are much better with energy in general, making air combat (sort of) possible and energy weapons more viable for extended combat. In fact, it's possible to build an AC that can fly for an unlimited amount of time (or longer than I could be bothered to try it) although this relies on using ballistic weapons, a massive generator and light/efficient parts.
Oh, and the heat system is completely gone. Finally.
Anyway, if you like this sort of thing it's a great game. People that don't like Armored Core may not enjoy this, but if you don't like all the rest, why are you still banging your head against a wall by looking at this one?
Because it is a lot more fluid, if you preferred the slightly slower, more methodical combat in earlier AC games you may be better off with Chrome Hounds; but considering that you can get that for about £10 now and this for £25 already, why not get both?
