Front Mission 3 for PlayStation3
An excellent science-fiction-themed strategy game with role-playing elements, Front Mission 3
is the first installment of the popular Japanese series to make it
stateside. In a future where giant robots known as "Wanzers" are the
war machines of choice, you are cast as a civilian test pilot who gets
swept up in an international military conspiracy surrounding a weapon
of mass destruction. The majority of the storytelling occurs via cut
scenes and menu-driven "event" screens, with the game's "network"--a
virtual computer that simulates Web and e-mail, among other
things--providing additional background information and character
interaction.
Front Mission 3 features a rich battle
system that makes the game easy to learn but hard to put down. The
different models of Wanzers can be used "as is" or modified to change
their appearance, capabilities, and equipment; since a Wanzer and its
pilot are controlled as one unit in battle, the pilot's battle skills
and experience come into play when pairing them off during pre-battle
setup. Pilots can, however, eject from Wanzers during battle and board
unoccupied ones, or even fight on their own, David and Goliath style.
Battles are turn-based and take place in 3-D isometric environments,
which can be rotated to provide a better perspective. When combat
occurs, the viewpoint changes to close-ups shown from various camera
angles. While the battles are relatively short, Front Mission 3 makes up for their brevity with quantity, packing well over 100 hours of highly addictive gameplay on its one disc. --Joe Hon
