Absolute FROMSOFWARE Masterpiece, I would like to thank the journalist of multiplayer.it and twitcher Pregianza for making me discover this game, i hope i a sequel one day. The game is very funny, The only flows are absence of checkpoint (in some part is frustrating) and the 30 fps lock, the rest for a 2004 game is perfect.

Hands down one of the most hilarious games i've ever seen, the were many times were everyone in the voice call was gasping for air when watching cutscenes. Highly recommended if you want a great comedy.

May very well be the funniest game I've played in years. Not particularly fun, but funny! Funnier still is that this oddity comes to us from the FromSoftware, the established traffickers of decrepit worlds and crestfallen heroes. The gameplay is fine and I honestly don't have anything interesting to say about it. If you've dabbled in any of the Armored Core games - especially from Generation 1 to Generation 3 - then you should already be well acquainted with the gameplay loop: you arm yourself (smartly if you'd like), you do a mission, you get scored and paid, repeat. The thing that sets this game apart is how streamlined it is. All you'll ever be able to equip or buy are GUNS . Guns, guns, guns. You don't get to touch the mech's hardware beyond that. What this means is that you can field up to 8 of whatever the hell your heart desires, weight and power draw be damned. It's wonderfully(?) brainless like that. The dialogue and characters - however - is where the cash money is. The 47th POTUS Michael Wilson (the player character) flip-flops from this dignified leader of men whose heart bleeds to see his great nation suffer and a wise-cracking wacky woohoo pizza man who likes to party. Truly a man of multitudes. Jody Crawford - the stalwart secretary to Michael - is there to brief the player on what they'll be up against each mission, every line delivered in a cheery monotone. Her other duties include: offering guidence, making jokes, telling you to lock the fuck in if your health drops below certain thresholds, etc. Every time Richard Hawk - the rogue Vice President fronting the coup d'état against Michael - flapped his haughty gums I was spellbound. He's a deeply silly person with not a serious bone in his body. The US of A is plunged into chaos and he's horsing around, setting the controlled demolition of Lady Liberty into motion by way of a gargantuan steel juggernaut bedecked with a dizzying amount of heavy ordinance all the while he flies off to drink some delicous Darjeeling tee (it's his favourite). It would not be too crazy, I think, to liken him to Senator Armstrong of Metal Gear Rising fame. Matter of fact, both gentlement subscribe to the belief that "might makes right" and they are unafraid to break a few (thousand) eggs to make America great again. It's just that Hawk makes no attempt at persuading Wilson to join his cause and he's awfully flippant for a revolutionary. I don't know. If I was trying to cure an ailing society I'd probably take my mission a little bit more seriously. Then again, there is something of a saturday-morning cartoon villain about him: the cackling, putting damsels in distress, the works. He's wonderful. I love him very much. In conclusion, even if you're not too keen on mecha games it's well worth bearing witness to this most unexpected aspect of FromSoft. - voiced by Ryan Drees - voiced by Julia Yermakov - voiced by Jeff Gedert, the sombre narrator of the Ace Combat 4 cutscenes

''God is made of steel." Good + Dialogue out of a patriotic fever dream. + The most interesting approach to a weapon wheel I've ever seen. + Otogi levels of environmental destruction, which makes sense this was made by the Otogi team. + Many levels offer a comparatively free approach to tackling objectives. Bad - Only a fraction of the varied weapon types are truly useful. - An overall lack of rewarding challenge - enemies can be swatted aside with ease and their damage output is abysmal. - The last few achievements are based around grinding. Final Thoughts Memes aside, Metal Wolf Chaos is a good game trapped behind an okay game due to design decisions seeming endemic to From Software. Much like Armored Core at the time, Metal Wolf Chaos is awash in weapon categories but likewise shares a meta that distinctly favors only fraction of what's on offer. Also, like Armored Core at the time, the level and enemy designs fail to create compelling gameplay in and of themselves - many levels are semi-open and your operator even suggests relocating to other objectives when resistance in one area becomes too great, but standard enemies are so flimsy (a complaint that has persisted all the way to Armored Core 6) that such a tactical possibility will never be necessary nor even cross your mind. What could have been an interesting game of cat-and-mouse within an urban environment, utilizing your suit's enhanced mobility to dive in and out the fray through back alleys and the like never materializes but is so painfully close. You can actually see From trying to take a another swing at this particular concept years later with Armored Core V. A bright spot beyond the story is the comparatively reactive environments, there are so many destructible props that almost every trigger pull feels rewarding if for no other reasons than the shower of debris produced. With all that said, Metal Wolf Chaos isn't actually bad. In fact, its reminiscent of Ace Combat in that its ultimately inoffensive gameplay is elevated by its bonkers narrative and eclectic soundtrack. If you like quirky action experiences and can stomach some early-aughts design pitfalls, you'll definitely like this.

Do not play with AMD Smart Access Memory active.

Overall I give this game 5 Richarrrrrrrrds out of 5! It;s mindless action, with amazing (terrible) voice acting. It's so full of camp, this game should come bundled with a tent. Really enjoyed my time with it.
