Product description

In Steel Battalion, you'll experience the mechanized warfare of the future, today! Comes with special controller; cannot be played with standard Xbox gamepad

Amazon.com

Steel Battalion players operate a strategic, battle mech weapon through 12 action-packed levels, fending off dozens of adversaries while attempting to diffuse a riot that has ensued on a Pacific island ruled by a military dictatorship. Players use a diverse arsenal, including plasma torches and an MK21-6 twin-pod rocket launcher. The game includes an exclusive 40-button controller that has been designed to immerse the player in the role of a VT (Vertical Tank) pilot. It includes trigger buttons to fire weapons; foot pedals to accelerate, boost, and brake; and levers to shift gears and move left to right. Gamers must use the full potential of their VT's abilities in order to survive the battlefield. Mastering the controls of this tactical vehicle allows players to feel as if the VT is part of their own bodies.

Welcome to Steel Battalion the worlds closest to life Mech simulation. Hosting a controller with more than 40 individual buttons and three foot pedals, this is real. For any original XBOX gamer and collector this game will test you limits. The game is so close to reality you will personally feel the stress of the situation. Why you might ask? This game is not forgiving. It has 24 levels and each takes about 30-45 min to finish. The ONLY checkpoint in the whole game is after you finish level 10. And if you happen to die, oh man HAHAHA. First let me say that in game you have no health meter and there are NO health pickups. This is the real world soldier there are no health packs. When your cockpit starts sparking and smoking HIT THAT EJECT BUTTON FAST. If you do you will escape your Mech and can retry the level if you have enough money to buy a new Mech. That right every time you fail you have to buy a ne Mech. How do you get more money? By beating more levels. See the problem? If you run out of cash it's game over. If you die once, by not ejecting in time, it's game over. What happens then? The game resets and says "No active profile detected: Create new?" In short this game is intense but worth it. If what I said is disappointing don't worry you can always enter a cheat code that unlocks all levels and Mechs. AAAHHHH it's not as evil as it seams now is it. This is one of the best games I've ever played and highly recommend it to all.

Incredible fun, unfortunately only supports one game

When I say it only supports one game, I mean that I'm not counting the second game, which was multiplayer-only. Original Xbox Live was shut down so now it can only be played on system link. Good luck finding other people who own this controller!
You can get the controller to work with PC evidently, although the right joystick (which is pretty inconsistently stiff, and not because it's old/used) does not recenter itself because the game is designed around a crosshair that moves across the screen and stays there for aiming. That works well for MechWarrior 3, which can play like that, but not any other PC games I can think of. There is a smaller thumbstick on the left joystick that does recenter itself.
All the buttons light up and fade in and out and it looks awesome. The controller is very sturdy and seems like something that should probably cost more. Luckily, the game itself is great. It sure would suck if it was no good. I'm not sure how much depth or replayability the game has because I haven't beaten it. I hear the game gets way harder which is a scary thought.
Overall if you are way into this concept and have around $200 to blow, I would not UNrecommend it.

I really can't stress how amazing this is to have in my collection. Just make sure you have the room to store it before you buy (It's bigger than it looks on film).

Awesome game, great controller, like no other. No tutorial to speak of, but avid gamers will catch on quickly. Would highly reccommend for the non-serious gamer. An enjoyable and complicated, detailed game.

The most immersive, entertaining game ever; bar none.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2003

Steel Battalion is not a game.
It is an experience.
No simple review could possibly explain the intangible thrill there is in simply starting up the massive VTs that you will spend the next great many hours of your life driving. It's the sort of sheer adrenaline-laced high you got the first time you drove a car on a freeway at just a -little- over the speed limit. It is, put simply, incredible.
So, enough of that, let's get to the review.
Gameplay:
Steel Battalion is, in every manner of the word, a simulator. Do not expect mechassault, armored core or even mechwarrior. This is MS Combat Flight Simulator on legs, with much bigger guns. This is really what it would probably feel like to pilot one of the first mechs. VT's (Vertical Tanks, as the game calls mechs) are not nimble, agile or even speedy. They are tanks with legs. They are slow, heavy and plodding. And you'll love every step they take. Of course, the most obvious gameplay factor is the controller. Basically, the controller is three panels and footpedals. The left panel houses a gear shift (similiar to a car, but it only goes straight up and down), a few toggle switches (used during, and only during, startup), and a horizontal joystick (that is, a joystick with only an X axis). This joystick controls the direction your VT moves in, and also is topped by an analog stick (which is almost identical to the XBox controller's) which controls the independently moving camera. The center panel of the controller houses mostly buttons (all of which light up green or red, by the way), along with a radio dial that's used to communicate with your wingmen and call supply choppers. The right panel houses the second joystick, which moves along both axis, a few buttons and the eject switch (complete with plastic flip-up safety cover). The joystick controls you weapon aiming and firing. Lastly, the foot pedals connect by a wire to the controller base. There are three pedals: accelerator, brakes and strafe. Strafe basically allows you to dash forward, backward, left or right. This is used to evade weapons fire as well as rebalance your VT if you start tipping.
So, what does this all mean? Basically, it means some major mech a$$ whupping action. VTs control like tanks, with manual gear-shifting and independent weapons aiming. In terms of missions, most are either "clear the area", "destroy a target" or "infiltrate a city". The small number of defensive missions is legitimized by the fact that this game takes place during an offensive invasion of a rebellious island, a situation with little need for defensive maneuvers. The whole game has a WWII-like atmosphere, with most battles involving almost exclusively heavy-armor battles.
Graphics:
Steel Battalion's graphics are bizarrely beautiful. Basically, the game gives up extreme levels of polygons for overall atmosphere. However, this is hardly a problem. The entire game takes place either in briefings or in gritty, dark combat. Briefings are handled very militarily, using topographical tactical maps, satellite photos, symbols and arrows to lay out mission objectives. Dry, sure, but very realistic and moody. During battles, however, things get even more dramatic. Basically, the whole game has a sort of Saving Private Ryan-esque grain to it. Colors are washed out, explosions spray dirt and smoke encompasses the vast battlefields. However, under all this grit and grime there's a sort of grim beauty to the world of Steel Battalion. All VTs self-shadow, and animation is dead-on. Weapons fire gives off flares, explosions are dramatic and glorious, and models, both animate and inanimate, are detailed and extremely well textured. This is truly and XBox-worthy game. By far the most impressive moments take place in cities. It is in these townscapes that you truly realize the sheer size of your VTs. Most buildings, which are extremely detailed, only go up to your waist. Light glares off windows and rooftops just as in real life. In a port, huge gas tanks explode when shot, spewing flames and debris and hurling nearby tanks an trucks. Basically, this is a gorgeous game. The only real graphical problem is some popup during a few missions, most noticably the second one, when a cityscape snaps into view in the background. However, this never really hurts gameplay, and the aesthetic loss is by far balanced away by the rock steady frame rate.
Audio:
There's no music in this game unless you buy a boombox (in game), which gives off [bad] tinny music. Other than that, the sound is unbelievable. Hearing this game in 5.1 is nothing short of amazing. Booming, bass-filled thunderclaps erupt from every step of the huge metal monsters that are VTs. Weapons fire starts with the sound of mortar shells and ends somewhere near the hounds of hell themselves. Your VT gives off engine noises like three tanks strapped together and rolling at full speed. Every hit you take gives off creaking and groaning effects from the bending of metal and shattering of armor. You will hear every single noise, from the ejecting of huge shells from your machine gun the the crumbling of tremendous skyskrapers, and it all sounds real. Very, very real.
Finale:
Basically, but this game. ...People will tell you that you're a fool for spending enough for a console on a single game. Ignore them. This is worth it. Even if no other game ever uses this controller (which is unlikely, as a XBox Live-enabled sequel is confirmed in the works), it's still worth it. Trust me. The only thing preventing you from buying this game right now should be figuring out where to put it.
...
