  Ultimately, Armored Core 4 offers nothing we haven't seen in Mech Warrior or Zone of the Enders, aside from a little next-gen polish that is of mixed success. However, it is still a very enjoyable action romp, which also contains plenty of accessible customisation and strategy, and has a feel about it that screams hardcore, without demanding players trade in their social life for Achievement points and a monitor-kissed, pale skin tone.

  Past the faster, more boost-friendly gameplay, a lot has stayed the same in Armored Core 4. The learning curve is steep, the controls take effort to master, and the single-player game is ultimately there to prepare you for head-to-head matches. It’s a very specific game experience that rewards trial and error and fails to appeal to a broad audience in the process.

  Multiplayer adds life, and we guess it's cool that Armored Core 4 is nearly identical on both PS3 and 360 (though the 360 has voice chat) so nobody gets a vastly inferior version. But ultimately, this series is going to have to evolve into a more accessible, playable, solo-friendly experience if it ever wants to be known as anything other than a niche curiosity.

  Between the streamlined assembly process, the retooled control scheme, and the junking of the cooling system and other mechanics that slowed down the action, Armored Core 4 is far more approachable game than previous installments in the series. Its heavier emphasis on arcade-style mech-on-mech action also means that its enhanced fast-paced action will appeal to a more mainstream audience. And even though it isn't as complex as it once was, there's still plenty to obsess over for the hardcore lot.

  Overall, Armored Core 4 is a pretty fun game for fans of the genre and anyone looking to get into the genre with the patience to learn their way around the customization, which is the core of the game. The short missions, limited battle area, and muted visuals may turn some people off, but most will be satisfied with the swift, intuitive gameplay, the online versus, and the simple fact that they are controlling a giant mechanized robot.

  Armored Core 4 is a decent game that could have a lot more with better variety of missions, more attention to graphic details, and so on. What this game does succeed at is the amount of customization for your Mech that you will pilot. If you are a fan of this series then this game is a no brainier, if not this is a decent rental for the weekend.

  The Armored Core franchise celebrates its tenth anniversary this year. To have that kind of staying power, it’s clear Sega and FromSoftware know what this fan base wants, but although Armored Core 4 delivers its usual, expansive customization options, it isn’t enough to overlook weak single-player missions and lackluster visuals.

  8.0

  But for anyone who hasn't had that pleasure, this is probably the best place to start. Armored Core 4 is more accessible than its predecessors; and at its core, beneath the complicated controls and imposing arsenal of body parts, it's a pretty simple, superfast, graceful and smart mech-combat game, and it deserves your attention.

  Sans justifier le statut d'incontournable, Armored Core 4 fait bonne figure sur Next Gen. Les combats sont nerveux et donnent le tournis, la pluralité des décors apportent un aspect globe-trotteur des plus plaisants et la jouabilité est bonne malgré quelques défauts liés au lock notamment. En somme, si le jeu avait pu offrir des missions plus variées, l'intérêt aurait été encore plus grand.
