Product Description

Platform: Xbox 360

Manufacturer's Description

In a shattered world, the people are pushed toward the abyss of catastrophe, yet they keep fighting. With a theme based on the idea of human strength in the face of adversity, the story describes the folly and transience of humanity as well as its never‐give‐up attitude when faced with a desperate struggle.

Features:


Defend and conquer territories: Prepare for enemy invasion!:
  • Online players can invade your Territory even when you're not online. Set Your Defense System strategically to fight automatically against other players and protect your dependency.
  • When you're online, fight in PvP online team battles to defend against enemies invading your territories.

Most complete Multiplayer Mode: The game supports cooperative mode on all missions such as “Destroying a Target" or "Investigation". Team gameplay is encouraged (5 simultaneously with up to 20 in a team). In World Mode, confront each other for world domination.

Offensive gameplay: Gameplay has been totally revamped to offer a more powerful offensive attacking experience.

Ultimate customisation:

  • The game offers countless parts to collect for an incredible level of mech customization.
  • Customize your Territory for Upper Rank Missions with Defence System variations.

Product Description

The Armored Core series is renowned in the mech action genre for its intense one-on-one battles and customization options. Armored Core 5 is a new entry that revolutionizes the series with more content than the previous games, a completely new atmosphere, and a robust offline mode. In addition, the online mode has been newly designed to focus on huge team-based battles on a global scale. Featuring mechs or "Armored Cores" that are smaller in scale than in previous games, Armored Core 5 centers more on tactics and effectively utilizing the geography of a level rather than just relying on attacks.

  • Defend and conquer territories: Prepare for enemy invasion! Online players can invade your Territory even when you're not online. Set Your Defense System strategically to fight automatically against other players and protect your dependency. When you're online, fight in PvP online team battles to defend against enemies invading your territories.

=== GOOD BITS ===
Okay so Armored Core V is yet another mech based action game by From Software and published by Bandai Namco. The good things about the game include the non-stop action through the whole of the game. Also most of the games graphical features are pretty good with a few exceptions. The best part of the game for me was the tons of side missions the game has available for you to play along with 10 story missions. The multiplayer options are fun and includes team vs team or you can join someone else's team for a mission to earn money as well as respect. Another top feature about this game is that you can actually create a team to fight for territories online, so basically you and many of your online friends can be on the same team against people across the world. There are tons of customization options available to gamers with almost every mech on the game looking different to what other gamers would have. There is a shop to buy more parts and you can also find parts in levels or after leveling up more parts become available in the shop. Sound effects in the game are fantastic and definitely bring the game to life and make it more exciting, the music is full on but works really well in my opinion.

=== BAD BITS ===
Okay there isn't an awful lot wrong with the game but there are a few bits that could of been improved slightly. Whilst the online play is great and the main game mode is quite good, the game itself does seem to get a little repetitive at times. Also not everything in the game looks amazing because things such as structures look quite weak graphical wise. The game to newcomers might be a little confusing because most of it is explained just not very well. Controls are a little dense as well. The story to the game?? Well there isn't much of one....its actually rubbish but don't let that put you off too much.

=== OVERALL RATING? ===
Well I would definitely recommend the game if you like a challenge because it is quite hard in my opinion but its also a lot of fun for a while. Online play runs quite smoothly and there aren't too many glitches about either. If you liked previous Armored Core games then you will adore this but NOTE: This is not a sequel. There are tons of options available at your disposal and if you wanna try something new....then try this. Its a great game that I would give a reasonable 8/10!

Fun:   
In this review ill give you an overview and a description of what the game is like for some one new or curious about the game.
Firstly im a teen who loves games such as transformers and robotic stuff so this game quickly came to my attention and my a friend of mine also gave it a recommendation. The story is you work for an corporation that runs evrything but then a rebellion starts in your robot (mech/ac) you fight back but to only change to the rebellion dew to witnessing an event.

GOOD THINGS:
Amazing customisation
Great co-op and story line
Feels rewarding
Amazing online
Challenging boss fights
Graphicly brilliant
Fun for hours
Will take ages to complete fully so your never bored
Amazing online intros for your mech
Easy leveling system
Even though a lot is going on in the game the consoles handle it well no game freezing.

BAD THINGS:
Story line is hard to follow
Best if you had another mate to play with
No split screen
Music can often freeze a bit (rarley)
Dupstep, electronic and japanese rock (if not a fan you can also listen to your own game audio not affected)
Can often be one sided (online)
Hard online for new teams or players as there are much higher ranks
Dedicated servers for Europe, America, Asia and others
Very fast paced game (takes some time to get used to)
Cant turn into vechiles unless a tank rig but its very very slow

So overall i highy recommend the game great co-op and story amazing online and teams also a great choice of customiseation with colours,armour,guns, rigs. So if you fancy a change of game or another brilliant game to your collection i would highly recommend this.

Can't put it down! 9 April 2012
By Daniel

Fun:   
I must say I have been a fan of the Armored core Series from the start, but this one exceeds all the others. It is well balanced and true to the series, if you love robots blowing each other up and can put up with a boring story (which is fine because the online for this game is just so good) then this is DEFINITELY one to pick up.
