After the shameful Gundam, we'd be lying if we said we felt a little flush of excitement at the prospect of another PS3 robot 'em up. A flush we could imagine, but not of excitement. Factor in the Armored Core series' hardly glittering appearances on PS2, and the omens aren't good.

But what was most obviously missing from both PS3's Gundam and PS2's Armored Core games was outright excitement - after all, we're talking about giant sodding robots here, robots the size of multistorey carparks, not piddling mechanical car panel beaters, and yet somehow someone forgot to put the fun in. Armored Core 4, from what PSW has seen, might just buck that trend and finally show us why the Japanese go crackers over such titles.
