In the main though, it works perfectly. Characters are all nicely rendered. Some of the larger mechs are an absolute joy to look at, with moving parts fluently unfolding or rotating. Huge explosions as structures give in to your bombing persuasion. The charging up of the enemy's larger weapons is a sound you'll come to fear.
Smaller arms are all futuristic sounding and really add to the wonderful assault on the ears.
The frenetic action and huge sounds really drown it all out. The only downside to all of this is the quite laughable voice acting during the FMV scenes and in-game. Again though, you barely have time to even acknowledge what they're waffling on about anyway. Something to take you back to the days where a storyline really was unheard of. Silent Bomber is that game.
