This game has very crisp and clear graphics, good sound, and good gameplay. It takes place in the future were most of earth's population had moved to mars. There are major "mech groups" that are fighting for global donimation. At the start of the game you can choose wich "group" you want to be in. You pick wich mech you want and you can customize it over the game.

There will always be games that are a must have (Tekken, Tony Hawk, Metal Gear Solid). Then there will be game that you must not buy, rent, look at, or come within a 10 meter radius (Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M, ECW Anarchy Rulz, and any game miss spelled just to appel to idoits). Then there are games that if you love the genre you must buy. Case in point, Amored Core 2 if you played and liked the original AC you will love this game. With new improvments to burn this game is twice the size, three times as fun, and has enough new weapons and equipment to make all the Rambo movies combined look like a second grade arts and crafts room. You must be wondering why I gave this game a 4, well there will always be people who love stupid games made after even stupier moives or people who just don't like big robots. Because of these people I gave it a 4 so you don't go out by the game and blame me because I gave it a 5.

Best Sci-Fi Game on the Market!

This game is great with a capital "G". With many options ranging from Mech upgrades to choosing the overall ending of the game, it is sure to be one of the PSX2 Classics!

Amored core 2 was the best game in the arsenal of games that I played. The graphics were stunning and the controls were easy. The weapons were definitley upgraded from the first. A must have game.

Not Very Good, Obviously rushed out the door.

I was very disapointed in this game, especially having liked the original so much. This is an extremely buggy bit of coding. I have experienced, sounds locking up in the system, like a explosion during a battle and never clearing out and just keeps repeating -- even after going back to the menu system. Jumping up and getting vision through walls. Camera trailing that often results in a completely obstructed view. And then especially in the arena, after you win a victory, it will reload and then start a seemingly random number of seconds into a new bout before halting and then exiting out to the main menu system. But even given that, the graphics are not on par with other release titles such as SSX and Madden 2001. I would rate this as a skip it until AC3 comes out, that should be really good, since they have a lot of things to make up for here in my opinion.

Gran Turismo for Mech-Heads

Apples versus oranges some might shout, but to me there are several parallels between this mech-warfare game and the highly structured race game, Gran Turismo.

In both games, you begin with a basic "vehicle" (the first and Armored Core or AC, the latter a race car). Both vehicles are customizeable and upgradeable, and both require money to make your vehicles better. Both involve competitions (the former in the Arena against other ACs or on missions for assorted corporations that, upon success, pay for services rendered - the latter in races) to raise money to pay for your upgrades. Both require practice to master your machines. And, in my opinion, both are great games. In other words, if you like the features of Gran Turismo - the building and bettering of a vehicles - the challenge of mastering its operation - the thrill of victory over difficult opponents - and want a break from race games, give AC2 a try!

The play control isn't too tricky, I feel, once you learn the basic important movements. However, as you upgrade and switch your AC around, factors such as defense, mobility, energy, and the like, are all affected in different ways. This leads to countless combinations that, in my opinion, add to the fun.

The graphics are beautiful and the explosions are spectacular. There are so many different types of weapons - from rocket launchers to machine guns, shotguns to missle launchers to bombs - all featuring differing strengths and weaknesses (and ways to blow up your enemies!) that create yet more eye candy for the MechWar fiend.

The sound is nothing special, but once again, the explosions are quite exhilerating. I don't think the sound is bad, just typical of action based games, easily left to the background. For those of you who prefer female or male computer voices for your ACs, depending on how you upgrade, this sound can change.

Artisans have the option of customizing the colors of your mechs. There are many preset colors for impatient folks like myself to change the look of your AC with one click, or you can create your own combinations of colors out of scratch. ACs can also feature emblems which can be customized or created.

Thanks to all the combinations you can formulate when it comes to machinery, and all the missions and competitions, I feel this game will keep me entertained for quite awhile. If you like strategy, customization, competition, and just blowing things up, give AC2 a try. I think you, too, will find entertainment value in this for months to come.
