The Master Returns!

The latest expansion pack for Armored Core has arrived. It features 20+ new parts and the return of Nine-Ball, the #1 Raven in the original AC.

With new missions and 150 new enemies in the Arena Disk, AC: MOA should keep you occupied for quite a while. Highly Recommended!

Time to set the record straight....

Time to set the record straight. Armored Core: Master of Arena is so much better then everybody says it is. I don't have the first two games in the series, but I am certain it can't be worse than the first. Why does everyone hate this game? There is no horribly cheap AI. Sure, they can aim somewhat well, but it's nothing a GOOD gamer cant handle. People you say you WILL die if you just started with a new core in AC:MOA. That is so false it hurts. I am new to the series, and I am now a master of this game. Crappy graphics? Not a chance. Just by looking at the back of the box of the original AC (i don't have it), i can see grainy blocky polygons, but on AC:MOA, there are nicely textured heaps of eye-candy. Disc changes if you choose the wrong menu item? Nope. Press X without switching discs and it brings you back. Excrutiating load times? Yeah, right. I counted. 8 seconds to start an arena game, 3 seconds to load the replay, and 7 seconds to go back to the Raven's Nest. NOBODY BEAT IT IN SIX HOURS. It seems that the people who write the bad reviews don't have basic counting or math skills. If, like some people say, it takes 80 seconds to start and finish an arena game (30 seconds to start, 20 seconds to load the replay, and 30 to go back to the menu) If there are roughly 250 ACs in the game, that is 20,000 seconds of loading time right there. Six hours is 21,600 seconds. That leaves 26 minutes and 40 seconds to beat all 250 AC's, which would mean you must beat every AC in the game in 6 seconds apiece. Actually, 3 seconds, because you must watch the replay again. And you CAN cancel the replay. I found that out by reading the words "X = Replay Cancel". That means that when you press X, it cancels the replay. Maybe you people should play until you beat level two before writing a bad review. Sheesh. Well, that seems about it... . If the game's bad reviews are pulling you away, then hopefully this one will pull you back. I loved it. Please also note that I am not trying directly to offend anybody, but I am just so darn tired of all of the bad reviews of a game that I love. There have been a lot of lies about this game, and I just wanted to set the record straight.

I want this to be sort of a last word on this game. If you have any background in mecha combat, anime, or simply good taste you will like this game. The degree to which you will like this game varies directly with your affinity for those things which i have mentioned. The game itself is good. The graphics are on, the sound isn't spectacular, but it does the job. The storylie is imaginative and involving and the mechanics (menus, loading, disc swapping) are all just fine. If you are picking this game up as your first in the series you will have to work hard. Some of the complaints i see on other reviews about battling are based on the fact that new players are fighting Plus+ es. As far as i know you can only become a plus in the first game. All that speed, boosting power, magical radar, DEADLY laserblade that shoots stuff is earned by becoming a plus, not to mention launching overweight, overpowered mechs which i enjoy all the time. Spending your time in the first couple games collecting equipment and earning special abilities comes in very handy in MOA. I noticed in EX Arena all of the battles in humanoid legs are pretty easy until the last. It's like this. If any player got my mech together (16 slot core, heavy arms, medium humanoid legs, moonlight saber, finger machine gun, tri-barreled lookin' back weapon, slug gun, wide fcs, dynamite generator, best boosters(i can't bother with the exact stats)), and fought the kind of power boosting, weapon switching, six missle dodging, machine gunning, laserblading, smoking firestorm of a battle that i did, they wouldn't complain. This game rules. If you like mechs If you like anime/japanese style combat(front mission, gundam, patlabor, votoms, voltron, zeyromer, etc.) You will love this game. Whiners with no experience, ambition, and appreciation for a decent game and the whole giant robot phenomenon need not apply.

The ultimate challenge for a Raven!

Armored Core Master of Arena, this game will push your piloting abilities to the limit! It is the third game of the Armored Core series, it comes with two discs which contains scenario mode and the extra Arena. The Arena is where Ravens do battle with their Armored Cores (The battle mechs), you can gain special parts when you win against certain opponents, but for every match you win you'll get prize money for which to buy parts to customize your AC. Does the Arena sound boring? Then perhaps you should try a mission, but be warned, you must pay for ammunition and repair costs, so do try to show some restraint... Anyone can play this game, all it takes is determination!

New Armored Core game!

This hot new expansion to the famous Armored Core is the third in the Armored Core series. You control a mech and can customize it in just about every way. Whether it's the arm weapons you want to change or even the paint job, this simulation is going to be an immediate success. You are a ruthless mercenary on a quest to control the most powerful and feared mech in all of the Raven's nest, a group of mercenaries. This game is definitely worth buying!

armored core is a good game for mech fans

Hmmm... Well, This game is the same tired formula of the two previous games mixed into one giant package. I enjoyed this game, not because of the great missions, not because of almost endless battles, but the thing that most impressed me was the ability of ultimate customization of your mech. (I built all the gundams and tallgeese, and the dolls!) The options are almost limitless, as you can build the aformentioned. The site to do this is www.gamewinners.com. just go into playstation games, and you'll find it. eventually. Back to the game, The graphics are somewhat mediocre, the controls are somewhat murky, and the number of missions are inexusible. (19? please.) But, in light of all these flaws, This game is either rentable or purchaseable. do either as soon as possible, or if you have a playstation 2, BUY armored core 2: another age. It's just like Project Phantasma.

The best Mech Game- PS. Its a Gundam!!

Hey, I have this game and it is incredible. The hardness factor of the boards is about average and is very fun.

Best part is you can create any Mechs you want.

I found out that you can create the Gundams! I have created them so don't tell me its not possible. If you want to email me my email is gundamiceblade@yahoo.com

I would say that it is best used with the Iteract Controller because then you can use the joystick in it. I feel that this game is incredible. You would be lost with out it.

The only better game is. AC 2, but if you only have PSX get AC MoA!!!!!

THIS IS MY ALL TME FAVORITE GAME OF ALL TIME

Hello, I have had this game for about a year. Oh, if you are having trouble on that giant battle tank mission try flying on top of it and destroying the missile launcher first then shoot at the cannons(this also works on that submarine level near the begining. well, I have beaten the first disk and I am working on the second disk. I use the quad laser cannon and the laser rifle and the moonlight laser blade, some people think that brute force can't win in this game but I haven't had a problem yet. Buy this game NOW or face the wrath of guilt or something. The souff elff has spoken.

This was actually a good game from my point of view as an experienced player at this game. Although the load time and the difficulties of the ExArenas might have been too high for some people but that's a challenge they must face.

The good thing about this series is that computers actually started the method that humen uses (mirrage dance, hand-gun-lock, and air cut as some example).

And the other good thing was that it mixed the missions and the arena together so you will have to fight and have some experience before the big boss.

The last good thing that I thought was that it diversed the two events which was normal senario and the extra arena mode.

The bad thing about this game was that it would be too hard for unexperienced starters and non-starters. It had good challenges for the experienced but this didn't have the training for the unexperienced.

The other thing was that it had a real slow loading time. That killed the fun of it sometimes.

The last bad thing was that it didn't use joy-stick. That is a problem.

Over-all rating is 4 stars.
