Product Description

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.

WAY OVERATED

Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2004

OK, this is a great game, very unique and revolutionary, but please dont be fooled, this game is way overpriced, especially when u can go buy 4 other games for the price of this one. I am a seasoned gamer, and i decided to buy this game. It was fantastic for the first 2 hours, than it got old, diffuculty was raised rapidly, toward driving me crazy.

Also, the controller feel VERY cheap, i was expecting something great out of this 40-button controller, but it's just mad out of cheap bendable plastic.

So please, save your money, rent one, or borrow one from a friend..... or better yet, BUY ONE (i need to sell the one i have and get halo 2 ;) !!! )

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.

ONLY A HARD CORE GAMER WILL SPEND [A LOT] FOR THIS

Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2002

LOOK.....DID MICRO NOT LEARN ANYTHING FROM FROM THE FAILURE OF THOSE RIDICULOUS [EXPENSIVE] XBOX BUNDLES TRYING TO MAKE YOU BUY ABOUT FIVE GAMES WITH THE SYSTEM? COME ON.....I LIKE THE XBOX BUT I AM NOT GOING TO SPEND [A LOT] ON A CONTROLLER THAT LOOKS LIKE IT CAN A WHEEL BLOCK FOR A BULL DOZER. ITS ALSO A LOT BIGGER THAN THE XBOX TOO TAKING UP SO MUCH SPACE THAT I ALMOST HAVE TO GET A TABLE TO MAKE IT GET USED CORRECTLY. "IF THE XBOX IS SO POWERFUL WHY DON'T THEY MAKE A CONTROLLER THAT IS LESS EXPENSIVE LIKE SAY THE FORCE FEED BACK CONTROLLERS?????" I LIKE MECH GAMES BUT MICRO HAS TURNED ME OFF FROM THIS ONE. I'LL SAVE MY MONEY FOR "MECH ASSAULT".

Incredible fun, unfortunately only supports one game

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2013

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.

Too much cost for too little!!!

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2005

This game is a great sim don't get me wrong but if you have a PC Go buy all the mechwarrior tittles they are all rather low priced now and if your looking for a controller go find a Saitek Flight control system. With all of the mechwarrior games you get more variety in the mech you control, weapon loadouts, speed vs. armor. And lots more missions. Plus online fun with a mission editor. All that for the cost of this hunk of junk, and the controllers work for anything from space fighters, to real aircraft. Not just one or in this case two games.

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.

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).
