1) Amazon.com Product Description
Five years have passed in the Armored Core story line. The government of earth is rebuilding after the destruction it suffered during the coup led by Leos Klain, Martian rebel. Heavy casualties have resulted in a brain drain, leaving technology and science to languish. Clearly vulnerable, the government mounts an armament campaign. In an environment such as this, an underground of mercenary factions flourishes. Enter the Ravens, the pilot wing of the Armored Core. They battle in government skirmishes, as well as public arenas, for profits, much like Rome's gladiators. If you can become a high-ranking Raven, your influence will reach beyond the public to affect the fate of the planet. Your mission then is to rise through the Raven ranks and chart a destiny for earth.

1) A Definitive Mech Game   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Yeah, the Armored Core 2 series is easily my top pick for Mech simulation on the PS2. 'Another Age' really brings it home by adding more missions and expanding the mech's parts catalog. Also, the soundtrack to Armored Core 2: Another Age is superb. Props to Mijk van Dijk. But, its made the OST a rare and out-of-print album worth hundreds of dollars; so you must play the game to enjoy the music.

2) This one got me hooked...   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I own 4 of the 8 Armored Core games. I have beaten 5 of them, and I have played 7 of them. Out of all of them, this one is still my favorite. Although this was not the first Armored Core I played, it was the one that got me hooked on the series. In my opinion, this one has the best combination of features, parts and missions out of the entire AC series. If you are into the action of the game, or if you haven't played any of them, but are considering getting into it, get this game first. Because while the other games may have more integral parts of the story, and a large insider following, this is the game that outsiders tend to find the most appealing. And once you get into it, you'll want to play the rest of the series too.This game is challenging, but has a forgiving learning curve as well as an extremely high replay value. I beat this game years ago and I still play it from time to time.

3) not the best of the armored core seriies   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
This game is pretty much a follow up of armored core 2 where ith has only missions(no arena to bad I loved it). However you start of being able to buy every type of secrete part in armored core 2 (including the KARASARA MK2) and some other patrs that you can fin or earn in the missions. One cool thing is that you can load up old armored core 2 dat to this game so youo can beet all the missions with your favorite ac! One stupid thing is that you can do a mission like attack the island base and then do defend the island base right after each other. One grat thing is that (caution spoiler) onece you get to start the "lost field missions you can make overweight ACs! Also it brings bak some old memories when you fight people like stinger(project phantasama),stinger fussed with phantsama(project phantasma) and a "super" (and I MEAN IT) Ultimate nine ball.(master of the arena)

4) This game is one of my favs!   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
Ok well when i first got this game I was not into mechs and stuff like that and when I played it I didn't even read the book. I played for about 5 minutes and then gave up but then I read the book and finished a few missions and made a pretty good mech for myself. Then my brother who is the same age as me saw my mech and began to play. We each have four different mechs and try to beat each other in the vs. mode. So this game is a good game to play with people who live right next door or in your house. My favorit thing though has to be the over boost but the reason I gave it a four was because the vs. maps arn't all that great. I like big spaces with lots of stuff in the way and my fav map is the destroyed city. any way its an all right game when playing by yourse;f but its better when you play with someone.

5) another armored core game   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
