How do you like me now?!
Impressions are based on my first playthrough. A blast from PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era. Action mech game, which feels like an over the top version of Armored Core. But despite its over the top nature and destructive weaponry, game can be pretty challenging at times. Sheer brute force is not always the best solution in this game, you have to think over your customization and how exactly you should beat the mission. Don't get me wrong, most of the time President of this Great United States of America still destroys dozens of soldiers, tanks, mines, helicopters and even other mechs. Fluid controls make whole game loop even better Extremely cheesy storyline is also worth mentioning with its intentionally (probably) bad voice acting, ridiculous one-liners, political and cultural references. Cutscenes are sometimes especially great, they feel like a mix of Metal Gear Rising and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (this game was originally released before both of them, but you get the idea). Soundtrack is also outstanding varying from alternative rock of 2000's to jazz fusion. It has its own bangers. The biggest drawback in terms of the game itself is the mission, where you should beat Warner. I haven't found better way to beat it better than upgrading machine guns for better DPS repeatedly. I've beat earlier missions without any necessity to min/max weapon researches. Unfortunately, there are some technical issues. GOG Galaxy overlay is not showing up in the game at all and it's not convenient to alt tab. According to those who played the original version on Xbox, some sound effects are not played and cut off too early. It's noticeable in cutscenes. But it's still pretty solid action game, which does not take itself seriously at all. Hopefully sales of Metal Wolf Chaos XD will influence From Software to revive old franchises. I respect Soulsbournes like any other guy, but I would love to see games from 6th generation of consoles such as Armored Core, Otogi, Tenchu once again.
