BioGamerGirl: Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor Review

BioGamerGirl: Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, like its predecessor before it, is essentially a mech simulator unlike any other game you'll find on a home console. Rather than using a special controller designed specifically for the one game however, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor combines the flexibility of Xbox 360 Kinect with the casual controls of your Xbox 360 controller to create a game that, while both unique and immersive, clearly isn't for everyone. Still if you're a fan of the Steel Battalion series or just looking for a realistic game that makes good use of your Xbox 360 Kinect, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor may be for you.

Lol!! Is this a troll review?

Shadonic4318d ago

Idk the highest score before this was a 7 and while the reviewers complained about the game and there playspace epidemic messing up the controlled maybe this reviewer had enough space and considering the date in which this was released probably took there time learning it. I hope it's not a troll because it works for me on the demo and that's pretty good.

mcstorm4318d ago

I agree with you and it also works for me and I have the game. I have only ever had a problem with it once but this was because I forgot to move Kinect after playing forza but once I moved the device it all started working again. For me I cant get enough of this game and I find it just as hard and as fun about the 1st 2. Its not everyone's game but I think they have done a very good job getting the game to working with Kinect.

The only thing I wish they had done was add voice commands to say at the gunners ect but apart form that I would give this game 8 or 9 out of 10 but that's just my view.

Shadonic4318d ago

Hmm seems people just want this thing to fail even if it did work for people and said people found out hell even the reviewers found out why it wasent working seeing as its a simple solution of moving the kinect and playing it in a good sized room sad when a game gets thrashed because people cant even fallow the guidelines to play it properly.

Blastoise4318d ago

Surely this is an error, sure it wasnt a 9/100?

...the game barely works...

StrongMan4318d ago (Edited 4318d ago )

The Metacritic average is a whopping 39 and this amateur reviewer gave it a 9/10? Also, it only sold a measly 20k copies. With the lowest sales and reviews of any game I've ever seen in my life Steel Battalion is dead thanks to the "magic of Kinect".

Shadonic4318d ago (Edited 4318d ago )

(See video below)
before you start bashing it notice how it worked perfectly for reviewers who previewed it at the events and how they always mention the space in kotakus rant about it. How is it bad because there's some people with enough space for the game to work properly or just some people who will move there furniture out of the way to find the best place to play it. I do agree with the sane gamers who actually have a real reason thats not the it uses kinect defense", The device does need to improve on its spacing issues seeing as a good 90% of the professional reviewers and gamers dont have enough space for it to function at its top capabilities. This still dosent mean that the device is trash it does work and the things most gamers want in a kinect game have already been done mostly by hackers or modders for PC but the gamers themselves shy away from its positives because they just jump on the huge bandwagon of hate for the device without actually looking at all the good stuff it can do with and without gaming. One thing i want to know is if the reviewers used a nyko zoom when they reviewed seeing as it decreases the space needed seeing as that's the biggest problem.

ChunkyLover534318d ago

You mean to say it sold worse then Sorcery? I find that hard to believe!

AusRogo4318d ago

Lol! To each their own I guess?

catch4318d ago

After a quick check of the "Biogamergirl" profile it appears as though this is the LOWEST score they've given on a review submitted to N4G.

I'll let that sink in for a moment.

Why From Software's worst game is worth learning from

Eurogamer:

"Heavy Armor might be the perfect Kinect game, or at least, the most honest, because it reveals how interesting life can be when technology gets in your way. Green-lighted way back when Kinect was known as Project Natal, the game posits a near-future in which a silicon-guzzling microbe has devoured every computer on the planet, setting back the science of combat to roundabouts the close of the first world war. Deprived of GPS, drones and other decadent trappings of 21st century warfare, the Earth's nations are obliged to duke it out in gas-powered mechs or "vertical tanks" that handle as elegantly as elephants in high heels."

Of course it is. You have to learn from your mistakes

Godmars2903213d ago

And the reason that it was one of From Soft's worst games is that it was tied to poor game accessory.

plmkoh3213d ago

TBH the game looked interesting on it's debut.

_-EDMIX-_3213d ago

Not something I want to remember that existed.

audiocafe3213d ago

As much as I like From's Souls games, I'm hoping they release another Armored Core at some point.

...just had to throw that out there

TheColbertinator3213d ago

Armored Core or Tenchu would be cool with me

Ignore death threats

It always seems like the video game industry can’t go a single week without handling death threats of some sort. At this point, they almost come with the territory for game developers, critics, or anyone else a select few people don’t like. However, the only way a person who receives death threats can combat them is by doing absolutely nothing.

Top Tuesday - The 10 worst video games ever.

MWEB GameZone writes: "The things that you love the most, are also the things that can hurt you the most. Which is just an unnecessarily complicated way of saying that there are really, really bad video games out there and they'll make you feel bad.

We've compiled a list of these aberrations so that you don't ever have to play them yourself."

plut0nash3610d ago

Star Trek was pretty shocking.

3-4-53610d ago

How did that Custer game get approved ?

Different times I guess.

plut0nash3610d ago

Bills needed to be paid I guess.

CongoKyle3610d ago

I really thought the picture of the horse was a real game. Not even sure why I'm disappointed it isn't ;/ Also, Survivor? What's the real aim of the game? Survive the opening credits?

HanCilliers3610d ago

Sillicur3610d ago
