A GREAT ENDING TO THE FRONT MISSION FRANCHISE (Edit for second part of the review at the end.) ----------------------------------------- PART 1 : I'm only a few missions in (somewhere in antartica), but already I'm in love with Front Mission all over again. Story seems simple enough, but there is that mix of gritty and sentimentality that made the first 2 main games and the manga so great. Once again the world of conglomerate nations is on the brink of war for reasons so obscure it might well be self inflicted... Once again, some corporation out there messed with something they may have been better to leave alone. The combat feels amazing, though the UI is a bit cluttery and cramping your field of view. Human segments feels a bit clunky now, but at the time it must have been great. The myriad of details to spot is welcomed. The customization feels right for that franchise. If I would have any criticism of it for now, it's that the HEX colour code for the customization is hell. They give you the right code, but then you can't enter it by key. You actually have to find it back with the mouse or worse... the joystick (with not much joy in that situation). No worries though, there is so many option that you'll probably be fine with a "Close enough" choice. Keep in mind this was made as an xbox / windows 7 title. So there will be a fair bit of setting the game manually for it to work right. So if you experience buggy crackling sound, controls that become inoperant or confused during fights, enemies that never stop firing... It means your computer is not set proprely for it. If this happens to you, do not fret, here is the solution : NVIDIA control pannel, 3D parameters, program parameters, Front Mission Evolved, both frame per second must be at 60 FPS or below. Do not take the enhanced sound. Controller must preferably be wired and on steam input active. That did it for me. If the game crashes during a human mission, just redo it without reloading while walking. Reloading while stationary is fine. If they could have just ported a few lines of code to do this automatically, then my only regret would have been to not have bought this at full price. Hell, I'll have to check it out, but there is even co-op (DLC) in there! Can't wait to play it with a true squadmate! -------------------------------------------------- PART II : So... completed it in two days if one exclude the in game challenges and and fetch quests. And seriously? Other reviewers on here have been way to harsh with this title. Though I do recommend to play at least the first 3 Front Mission if you want to see how much of a genius conclusion this game is. The game manages to bring back nods to FM1 (neural interface being somewhat cursed) and FM2 (low orbit wide AGI) specifically, and previous knowledge of this universe technological developpement will make this story sound much less extravaguant or "dumb". On the contrary, the way it's portrayed fits perfectly well in the established lore... as long as you understand it to be the end of it. On this note, I feel the need to address another review on here directly. The Orbital Elevator plot being finished in secret isn't that exceptional. Basically the cable was set before the national-conglomerates abandonned to work on it together for too much political infighting during the project. All that was left to do was to build a nacelle and the motor to lift it. So the low orbit AGI didn't needed to hide that much. That same user also mixed up Yun and Gordon for some reasons... I had fun every second of it. I'm not even gonna say it was too short. It felt exactly the lenght it needed to be. Even counting the breifing style elpises to move the story forward faster feels natural. And though none of these characters are particularily ideal, I found myself having grown attached to each and every one of them by the end. In that simple and subtle way that good Front Mission titles have of beginning with characters so basic you don't really care, but make them so human you eventually feel close to them. If you love the stories of Lost Planet and Zone of the Enders, then this should be right your alley. Can't wait to play Left Alive... But seriously? I wish there was a few more Evolved sequels out there...
