This is a completely awsome game, although challenging it is a ton of fun to play. i rented it one time to just check it out and i couldnt put the controller down after that. you can get awesome upgrades for your mech and jet forms. not HALO quality but still great

Gun Metal, an excellent mech/starfighter game !!!

This is a great game! I just bought a copy of this highly overlooked title and was extremely impressed. Overall I would rate this 4 out of 5 for complete lack of developing storyline and few upgrades. This is a straight mission brief then shoot'em up, but done very well. The premise of the game is that you have a giant robot that transforms into a sleek fighter craft, both handle very well and have an excellent amount of firepower. Gameplay takes a few times on the first level to master both aspects of your mech, but is not to difficult to learn. Graphics are very good and the environment is destructible. Sound is also pretty good and allows for a customized soundtrack (selections from Star Wars and HALO fit in really well). This is a very fun mech game in the Third Person Shooter format, that plays a lot like an arcade game. It's basically Armored Core + Transformers + Rogue Squadron!!!

Rent First, this has been rated okay by the beta testers

Before you buy into one of the developers reviews about this
game. Just go out and rent before you buy. Seriously, the
only game worth owning is Halo, years beyond anything with
GTA excluded. Oh, about the game. This is a poor substitute for the upcomming Robotech release that will rock you out around xmas. Yes, with a years worth of dust collecting titles that you only played one and a half times this
one will be played about two. I doubt they will let this review be posted because they want to sell products but oh well..,.,

THIS IS WHAT ALL GAMES SHOULD BE COMPARED TO:

This game has everything to make it such an awesome game. Action, Excellent Gameplay, Challenge, & Excellent Graphics. It's addicitive and the only other games I have been this addictive to is GTA, HALO, and Burn Out. To anyone that wrote a bad review on here I DON'T kow what planet your from but for a Mech Assault type battle game this game is awesome. For a straight arcade game it is awesome. You shouldn't by this game if you only like streetfighter games or if you only like role playing games or whatever. If you like an overall good arcade styled shooter then buy it. The game is not too hard it just requires a little bit of thought a little strategy. It's not about just shooting. You have to decide how you want to attack and what weapons to use on which enemies. If you just go out and just try and shoot at everything YOU'll lose. Otherwise you'd be invincible and that's no fun. I am not an arcade fanatic and I am still completing missions. Also to the guy that said the convoy mission is too hard. It's not. Try a little bit harder buddy. I am not finished with this game and I am already hoping for a part 2 to come out. Thanks RAGE for coming out with this one.

Boring.....

This is one of the first games I got for my xbox (Halo on order). The graphics are ok but ofter poorly rendered where the characters interact with the enviorment. The control layot is sensible but the mech is often frustrating to control on the ground and in jet mode its just plain bad. The jet responds agonizingly slow to command inputs which complicates air-air combat with targets that fly much slower than you can.

Overall its 3 stars on a good day. I enjoy the weapon selection and the targeting interface that has the option to toggle auto-aim on and off. The missle trails are nicely done as are the sounds. Its a playable and fun game....just not very entertaining and pretty limited in scope.

Why did I buy this?

If you are expecting a in depth story, amazing graphics or revolutionary gameplay then Gunmetal is most definatly NOT what you are looking for. But if you want a decent shooter with a good variety of weapons to choose from and challenging (but not frustrating) gameplay then take a look at Gunmetal. BTW: It's a pretty short game so I'd rent it unless you have money to burn.

What's hot:
-Decent graphics
-Nice imagination

What's not:
-Screwy controls

What's strange:
-Why does it take so long to transform from a fighting robot to an airplane(even Gundams are faster)?

The awards for:
-None

The overall:
-I've seen shooting games and this one doesn't quite fit that much. I recommend that you rent this game but don't buy it

A pretty good game, but cheat codes would be most helpful.

I bought this game a few weeks ago for my X-Box. It's a fun and interesting game. As a science fiction fan I like the back ground story. I always enjoy these kind of Mech games. Like MechAssault, this game needs unlimited ammo and unlimited health cheat codes.

I am pretty happy,

Gun Metal is awesome and beats halo, and all others

This game is 10x, no a 100x, no a 100000000x better than any game I can think of. This game of total destruction, and global domination is so brutally awesome. You blow people's brains, arms, legs, guts, all over with an assortment of [sweet] artillery. Literally, u can c their guts flying in the air and splatting agianst the ground. You can see the mutilated brains and other assortments of guts splattered, smashed, and dragged on the ground. [Radical] graphics, storyline, and enemies. This is the game for destruction lovers. I suggest you buy this game before there all gone!!!

uhhhhhhhhhhhhh

this game is horrrrrrrrrrrrrrible. I have tried the demo and it is way to slow, basically just a complete copy of mech warrior. They shouldn't bother with this game, they should just stick to mech warrior.
Trust me
