Not a good thing. The Wolf's Dragon and Freebirth Trials are bonus mini-campaigns created exclusively for the PlayStation version. Here too, the Crusader Trials and Inner Sphere Trials are exclusive to the PlayStation conversion. The game play is conducted strictly from inside your Mech. The damage to your Mech and the enemy Mech is shown in four different colors depending on the amount of damage inflicted, with black being the worse color.
Missions vary with objectives such as attack, defend or even inspection.
Some missions have a weight restriction which limits the Mech you can select for that mission. The Options screen incorporates eight different controller configurations. These range from simple to complex. Carefully study the different configurations before making a selection. The simpler configurations are not always the best for several reasons.
