Armored Core Nexus

"Fans and newbies alike have been waiting patiently for the Armored Core franchise to take advantage of the great advances in graphics, audio, and online features that have emerged on the PlayStation 2 in recent years. Armored Core: Nexus scoffs at such progress, but it's still a very enjoyable and addictive game, regardless."

"One disk titled Evolution will contain the Nexus game on it, while on the second Revolution disk will feature the first three Armored Core games (Armored Core, Armored Core: Project Phantasma, and Armored Core: Master of Arena)."

"Whilst it fundamentally looks the same, the overall play mechanics have been radically modified and taken the gameplay sensibilities in a completely new direction. So, whilst Nexus doesn’t have Silent Line’s AI training option it does have part tuning and a new implementation of heat."

"While the analog control opens up the game to a whole new audience, the uninteresting missions and sometimes daunting customization screens bring it down quite a bit."
