Product Description

Product Description

Taking full advantage of Kinect for Xbox 360, Steel Battalion Heavy Armor is an Xbox 360 exclusive frst person action game that promises to deliver a uniquely immersive experience and an evolution in warfare gaming.

Set in 2082, Steel Battalion Heavy Armor depicts a world devoid of semiconductors, where war is waged with rudimentary weapons as new superpowers struggle for dominance. In a twist of fate, the U.S. army has been forced to begin major landing operations on what was once its own soil. In this low-tech era, there is one weapon class that will determine the course of the war – the Vertical Tank (VT). Playing as pilot Lt. Powers players control one such VT as he embarks on a mission that will see the action shift from North America to battlefields and war-torn streets across the globe.

Features:

  • Warfare evolved – Steel Battalion Heavy Armor provides a combination of frst person shooter (FPS) controller gameplay with immersive gameplay elements that only Kinect can provide.
  • Take to the battlefeld – Instil fear in the enemy as the pilot of a Vertical Tank (VT), but feel fear of death as you and your crew become the focus of the enemy’s attacks.
  • Brothers in arms – Utilise Kinect to engage with fellow VT crew members as you share the emotional highs and lows of the battlefield.
  • Unique universe – Steel Battalion Heavy Armor is set in a world where the balance of power has been dramatically changed following a technology meltdown and once mighty nations are now reliant on human skill and courage to regain justice and freedom.
  • Innovation – As with the original Steel Battalion, Steel Battalion Heavy Armor, once more demonstrates Capcom’s commitment to take advantage of current technologies and push development boundaries to deliver unique and compelling gaming experiences.
  • Online Cooperative multiplayer – Team up with up to four players on many different battlefields and work together to destroy the enemy and get the best score possible

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best,not the worst. 3 Jan 2013
Amazon Verified Purchase
Thought i would finally get round to buying this,as i'd bought Kinect for the girlfriend. Its better than i thought it would be,judging by the reviews.I can see how the games dependence on Kinect & its imperfect technology has annoyed many,especially the people like myself,who had & played the original(& far superior)Steel Battalion on the Xbox 1 with its epic controller. Once you learn how to best do the gestures so Kinect recognizes them,the game really opens up & starts getting good.You still have the odd moment of irritation from the controls,but all in all a very good experience when it all finally clicks. I've only given the game 3/5 because i'm not so keen on the back to basics technology premise,its reliance on Kinect,the in VT controls which just feels like it gets in the way,& the games poor support of Co-Op. would have been nice if ALL the missions were playable in Co-Op,not just a select few..

5.0 out of 5 stars Steel Battalion Heavy ArmOUr. 29 Jun 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
Pros,
- Responsive, intuitive and accurate controls (Kinect works very well)
- Skill based gameplay (The game doesn't drag you along and practice will make you better, this is unfortunately lacking in many Kinect games)
- Fun fast-paced and exciting gameplay... you will feel in the action.
- Long campaign.
- Customise your VT (a great feature that I hadn't realised was in the game)

Middle (Pro & Con),
- This game is CHALLENGING if not HARD... it will not drag you along to make progress. This is nice in that it provides a challenge which is rare in most Kinect games but also frustrating when you continually die and are sent back to the start of the mission. However missions are very short (but numerous).
- Objectives may seem unclear and confusing... all the information required is relayed to you realistically by your crew (navigator in particular) so it is VITAL you pay attention to them. This is good because it makes you care more for your crew members (who can die) but is also a con since if you accidentally missed what they were saying or simply forgot you can't simply turn round and ask them (Would have been a cool use of Kinect's voice Recognition).

Con,
- Could have used an online vs mode as well as the coop.
- Misspelling of Armour on the front cover (Yes I know its American) and the fact I think I'm meant to feel patriotic when the cutscenes make a big deal about flying the American flag around the place both irk me... but when I have to list this as a con it must be a pretty good game. Obviously if your American this wouldn't matter at all.

Conclusion,
- Steel Battalion Heavy ArmOUr lives mostly up to it's quote on the back cover "Kinect finally gets it's hardcore game" (or similar) although I'd argue that Rise of Nightmares should really have that title. It is enjoyable, responsive and well made but will pose a healthy albeit sometimes frustrating challenge... though thankfully this challenge comes from the game's difficulty NOT through dubious Kinect controls... if someone tells you the Kinect controls don't work then they're probably just not up to the game's difficulty, and Kinect's an easy scapegoat.

Tips before you buy,
- If you have any doubts of this game I strongly recommend you check out the Demo available through XBOX LIVE marketplace, It give a very good flavour of the Kinect controls and indeed of the difficulty (it contains the Tutorial and one complete mission. But bare in mind you will get better at the game the more you play.)

EDIT; I would have given this game a FOUR star total but for the clearly false one star review below, if more honest and reasoned reviews come to balance this I'll change mine back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing! 15 Sep 2012
By Izzy
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
What are people talking about? Seriously...

This game is great! I actually feel like I'm piloting my own tank! The reason people have been saying it's non-responsive, do NOT listen to them. The reason they're saying that is because they don't wanna own up to the fact it's their fault. My living room is not big, a rectangle shape with a two seater sofa on the left and a three seater on the back wall. The TV is in the far right hand corner. At first I thought it would be a problem, but then I found a chair, put it between the two sofas at the bottom left corner, adjusted the Kinect and the TV and it's so smooth and responsive!

The game is great, it really gets you involved in a real life situation and at under twenty pounds, it's a bargain!

Thankyou Capcom for yet another five star game!!
