Armored Core 4 (Xbox 360, 2007)

Armored Core 4 takes place in the distant future, when corperations rule the planets. you are the pilot of a next, a futuristic humanoid robot built for mass distruction in the name of your next paycheck. Ultamate Realism is deffanatly this games strong suit, focusing on minute details such as the ability to slightly modify thruster thresholds, or tuining your next for more rapid movement. the lerning curve is like jumping off a cliff. you will be able to blase through the first chapter of 10 missions no problem. the next chapter however, assumes that you already know how to controll your 400 ton next nimbly through buildings, acuratly destoying large vehicles, and to quickly dodge huge lazers comming at you from all directions. however once you master the campaighn(wich holds alot of solid gameplay)you get to the real fun; the online play. online you can chose between ether team matches, or free for all battle royals. the first time i went online, i was blown away.. litaraly. it is fast paced, highly competitive, and with the aid of the amazing soundtrack in AC4, you feel truly rightchous when you are dodging missles, deploying countermesures, and firing your shoulder lazer right into some unlucky mother's face.
