front mission 3

This game is awesome. It takes place in the not so distant future, where battle mechs called wanzers dominate the battle field. You are Kazuki Takemura(but you can change your name)and you work for a wanzer making/testing company. You become trapped in a world wide conspiracy and you must get to the bottom of it by fighting tons of battles in your and your allies wanzers. The combat system is turn based and your wanzers can learn battle skills such as tackle,zoom, or stun punch. Move your mech, choose your attack, and then sit back and watch the battle cinematics. Wonderful graphics and gameplay. A must have for gamers who love battle mechs, turn based games, or any type of gamer. Squaresoft did a lovely job with this game.

Battletech fans Rejoice!

I used to play the game Battletech back in Junior High. Now, I can live out my fantasies of smashing and blasting enemy mechs to bits! The ability to custom build your mech using parts of other robots is especially nice. You can color and name your mechs, too, making the personalization of the game complete. It is also not too easy as some games are, and actually challenges you to train your characters and build their skills. And I am only about 24 hours into this 150+ hours of gameplay game!

Simply Maavalous!

I love this game. I hate RPG, and I really don't care for that aspect of this game. But the battle system is just so awesome, I can ignore the RPG aspect. Storyline, who cares? Gimme the action, and there is plenty. Not quite the 150 hours (minus the cheesy dialogs) and it is probaly more like 60 hours of actual combat. I don't know if I slept under a log too long, but this game has a fresh concept that appeals to me. I wish there were more like it so I could buy those too. There is something so blatently fun about this simple looking strategy game- which is far more in-depth than first appearances. I have been unable to remove it from my PSX for weeks!

Front Mission 3, Game or Myth

A game like this does not come around like this game very often. It is fun the way you get to custimize your wanzer[your mobile suit]. This type of game is fun and you will want a sequal. Luckily there are two seperate story lines that take you along both sides of a war. I fell that Squaresoft has out done there very own game. Meaning that Final Fantasy Tactics was considered the best Action/Strategy game out on the market, until this game hit shelfs. It is a must own. If you liked FFtactics then try this game [and vice versa]. This game takes about 130-140 hours to complete with both storielines. The 2 story line revolve around two females Emma and Alissa. Alissas is more diffiucult to complete so i subgest doin' that 1 first. That way it forces you to learn the controls and what to do.I rated this game a perfect 5 It deserves it in my mind. If i were you i would go out and buy right away......^_^

Playstation's Best Strategy Game

FM3 is easily better than Command and Conquer, Dune, and all those other strategy games brought to the Playstation from the PC. It's like Mech Warrior meets Final Fantasy Tactics, and fans of either of those games will be pleased. FM3 has turn-based strategy battles, but a story that seems like an RPG. Between battles you move around to gather info, talk to people, and use an internet system (as well as see some cool movie sequences). Basically, FM3 is a game that I think everyone should at least try out. Chances are you'll like it. Another great game from Squaresoft.

Setting a new standard for strategy gaming.

Everything I wanted to say about this game has already been said by the other reviewers but I still felt it was my duty to add yet another five star review. Anyone who is a remote fan of RPG and or strategy gaming will love this game. It's format is closely inkeeping with that of Final Fantasy Tactics (as stated by others), but with a fresh and exctiing flavor all it's own. Complete with not one but two deeply involving stories and a musical score that provides a pleasant backdrop to the events, this is a game that any serious gamer should add to their collection.

COOLEST GAME EVER!

FM3 is great for fans of mech combat and turn based strategy (Like Final Fantasy Tactics) Once you learn the system you can play rapidly completing missions. There is a lot of in game movies/cutscenes, but you get to see the mechs. Although with an amazing 3D engine that zooms in to show the combat you'll really only want to see the robots in combat. With a wide range of mechs with custom parts, lots of weapons and branching storylines, FM3 provides strategy/RPG mech-fun for all. A definate buy for fans of robot combat and strategy. Die-hard Real Time Strategy(RTS) gamers may become bored with the turnbased grid system, people who are trying to improve their strategy skills will love the combat system. Although even my RTS master friend liked the eyecandy of the combat sequences A little story and movie heavy for a strategy game, but still a total blast.

So until Armored Core2 or the Gundam game comes over here, Front Mission3 is the best offering in mech combat on the market now.

Help. I'm addicted.

I've had a Playstation for about a year and this is the first game that I play everyday. It has the strategy of chess and great graphics plus excellent story telling. And above all that, it's giant robots beating the pulp out of each other. I am proibably 50% done with the game and eagerly looking foward to FM:4. I can't recommend this game highly enough!

Mucho Fun

Front Mission 3 is my first entry into the Front Mission universe. The game itself is extremely linear, and at times boring, but all is forgiven with the incredible mech battles. If you love giant robots, and dream about fighting in them, this game is for you. I've played for 45+ hours and expect about 35 more and I can't put it down. The fighting is deep and won't disappoint. This game has pulled me into the Strategy RPG arena forever.
