Battle Engine Aquilla is a light version of Mechwarrior with a good extra thrown in: Your tank can fly. In the game, you pilot a giant crab-like tank that looks like it is wearing a silver hula-skirt. Although the "Battle Engine" looks prissy, it does pack a good deal of power in the form of projectile guns, energy weapons and rockets.

Instead of Mech-Warrior style rocket-jumping, the Aquilla can fly for limited periods of time, you have to land and "recharge" or else you wind up landing the hard way. I like this feature alot and it makes up for the more simplistic targeting and tank management systems in the game.

You could do alot worse with your money.

Battle Engine is a lot of fun to play and the feeling of freedom of going from land to air is like a dream. The only wheapons are Pulse cannon, Vulcan cannon and the missles. Thier are a number of glitches such as the computer voice aboard Aquila sometimes changes pitch(bad media component I guess). On character I find quite annoying is That engineer with the fake bulgarian accent, it's horrid(a bit better in game than the movies). Aside from that it's a great game! I got mine with my Falcon Northwest PC. It is actually part of the Asus K8V M/B bundle. If you are going to get this get the PC version, the P/s 2 and other consoles are a big rip at 50 bux. + you get the wonderful voice talants with the PC and that of an Annie Linux look-a-like(or someone trying too hard to look like her) talking with a horrid lispy-sounding germ/something accent. Lowsey acting is better than none any day.
