Intro movie Steiner forces overrun the palace Not exactly a compelling, Oscar winning story, but it does provide a purpose for the killing and mayhem to come. Each mission serves to further the story, although the game is almost completely linear in scope. The storyline is revealed through small live-actor cut scenes, and are displayed between missions on a small screen that is supposed to be the communicator in your quarters. The acting is not terribly bad, and thanks to the small size of the screen, it is hard to tell if they are screwing up. I kinda liked the armory guy, with his accent and constant advice about the Mechs.
Stories are for girls and adventure gamers.
We came here to kick some ass in a 100 ton robot. Well, not at first. Things start slow, in a rather tiny Mech. The first couple of missions are basically guerilla warfare against the occupying Steiner forces. Victorious missions result in salvaged Mechs and weapons, adding to your armory.
