Don't spend 50 bucks on this.

When I saw the cover of Murakumo in my local Electronics Boutique, I thought it was going to be a combination of Robotech and the Armored Core series for Playstation. However I was disappointed.

After the second level I just stoped playing. Not to ruin it for someone interested in buying it still, but you just go on these dumb missions where you chase after a weak machine called an A.R.K. It's pretty cool to be flying over skyscrapers and underneath the city chasing these things at Fast and The Furious type speeds, but it starts to make me feel like I'm watching a dog chase a frisbee. If that makes any sense, I don't know. That's just the way I feel.

Whoever made this game didn't put much thought into it, so as a consumer don't put much thought into investing your hard to earn cash on it. Just wait 6 months for the price to go down or, better yet, rent it to see if I'm lying.

Don't waste your money

I guess I should be thankful that I only spent $5 on this game. This pathetic, poorly constructed game isn't worth the disc it's printed on. It's certainly faster-paced than MechAssault, the game it obviously wants to imitate, but it has none of MechAssault's plot, superior controls, or quality gameplay. Instead it has:

--A terribly realized premise. Basically, you barrel across a cityscape in pursuit of various targets, which tend to be lost in the backgrounds and are at best hard to see, target, or destroy.

--Awful controls. Try to manage all of them while screaming across the skyline and racing against time.

--Zero logic. What's the point? You kill enemy mechs amidst various skylines. There's no plot to advance, no storyline, no premise. It won't even work as a mindless shooter, because after a while it becomes tedious and boring.

What else is there to say? To date, the worst game I've played on XBox, and a major disappointment from the usually reliable Ubi Soft.

buying this game supports terrorism...

no supporting arguments needed, these virtually agile machines have the agility of a metro bus in a tar pit... This game is as fun as a prostate exam. 'nough said, save your money and feed baby seals or something...

BORING

I bought this game and was bored of it after 20 minutes. I highly recomend not buying this game.

Repetitive and Challenging

Murakumo looks awesome, the A.R.Ks are beautiful, but the gameplay leaves something to be desired. In every mission you are chasing something, the thing may change, but all you do is chase it and destroy it....boring. The speed at which you move is dizzying, but sometimes that hurts more then helps (namely when your target does a 180 and it takes you five seconds to figure out where it went and another five to turn around) The assortment of weapons is good. Sometimes I think they made the target just a little to hard, namely when fighting the LX-30 in the city, what is with all the missie towers, I took 96.3% damage, geez. Movies are good, but not worth it really. I would suggest buying this only if you really love speed an doing the same thing over and over again. MechAssault or Battle Engine Aquila much better buy.

Another Mech Game

This is a fine Mech game. While I am not a huge Mech game fan, this one holds my attention better because it has VELOCITY. There are some times when the game feels repetitive, though.
