| Intro |
|
> "Make yourself disappear for a moment. Make your enemy disappear
forever." Phantom Crash is the perfect mech game for all gamers.
Stealth, Giant Scoobees (mechs), and Rumbling (fighting) make for a great
action oriented game. |
| Graphics |
|
> The graphics are the best I've seen in a mech game yet. The detail
that went into the environments is excellent. The detail of the mechs
is great, especially the customizable options for them. The stealth
mode is the best part though -- how it consumes your mech when going into
it, and the way it's outlined are excellent. There is noting really
graphics wise outside rumbling. You occasionally see a person or
two, which is cell shaded during story mode. Then in game graphics
are one of the high points to this game. |
| Control |
|
> The control takes some getting used to, but not too much. Its really
simple. Top left and right guns are for shoulder buttons and so on,
not really a lot of thought went into the controls. Just plain simple.
The Xbox controller S is the one I'd recommend for this game. |
| Sound |
|
> Nothing really great here. You can purchase new songs for rumbling
at the music store, if you get tired of the ones you start out with.
Sound effects are nice, but again not great. |
| Fun |
|
> This game is very fun for the first few days. There are two different
modes, Quest and Versus. Quest is nothing more than story mode with
not a lot of story, and only three battlegrounds. It is fun winning
cash and building the ultimate mech, but that's about it. I'd have
to say duking it out with a customized mech in vs. mode is the best though. |
| Bottom
Line |
|
> Phantom Crash has some fun aspects that I'm sure you'll appreciate.
If you're a huge mech fan, this game is for you. If not, then I'd
recommend at least a rental. |
