Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Armored Core 3 is set a century after an apocalyptic event, when humans have built an enormous underground city and wars between groups wielding huge robots (Mechs) set the tome of the age. You control some of these robots and manage a number of strategic elements to successfully complete missions. Enhancements from previous titles in this series include larger environments, multiplayer gameplay (up to four players can play with a Multitap), and easier robot control with the use of the analog stick.

Product Description

In Armored Core 3, it has been 20 years since the Earth Government and the Corporations battled for supremacy. The majority of humanity lives beneath the surface of the planet, relatively safe from the continuing struggle. A new and mysterious entity has entered the picture, however, snapping up all the available Ravens for intense missions that only their custom-built Armored Core Units can handle.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Awsome Game!!!, June 4, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Armored Core III (Video Game)

In this new addition of AC, you have the added choice of a self piloting friend Ac to work with. You also have a new weapon drop system, in other words, run out of ammo drop gun and run. This game is awsome and I will warn you now, it will take you a while to actually pass a few missions. But its still a really cool game.Play on gamers.

This game is GREAT. If you like games that last long and never lose their playability. Then buy this game. Great plot and deep involvment. An AC is a giant mech that has various parts for each body part. Head, arms, core(body), generator, radiator, FCS, Legs, Booster, Back unit left, extension, inside, back unit right, back unit left and back unit right. And there are lots of parts for each category. You can have your own customized Armored Core. Basically when you start out, you need to gather lots of credits so you can buy better stuff. Then there is an arena, you fight other AC's. Missions that affect the course of the game. And extra arena (2v2). Plus you can have a 2v2 if u have 2 tv's 2 ps2's 2 copies of AC3 and a link cable. Which is realllllly fun. So, don't look at anymore games. Buy this one! And hope Silent Line (Sequel to AC3) comes out soon. More parts missions and etc. We need this game to get online too. It would be the best experience of anything. It already is in Japan. JUST BUY THIS!

5.0 out of 5 stars I really mean 4.5 STARS..., September 10, 2002

This review is from: Armored Core III (Video Game)

because this game has one thing about it that i hate, and that it the annoying banging and clanking of the MECHS as they walk around. other than this it is a really cool game. i must admit i was a little skeptical at first but i said "oh what the heck" so i bought it today at GameStop and don't regret it.

the gameplay is pretty cool, the best thing is that the A.I. MECHS will assist you if you are in trouble (great feature), this gives the game mega points. i will admit that if you play against the A.I(computer) you will pay the price. they are pretty powerful until you get right up on them. also the missions are pretty easy so this makes the game less stressful.

overall, i like this game a lot because it is different. i bought Gun Metal(3.75/5) for XBOX and it has nothing on AC3. so my advice is that if you are a MECH fanatic you need to buy it.
