The first Armored Core game I played where I wasn't a drooling baby. The game was a blast and genuinely fun to the point where I finished the game 3 times for each ending in a week from its launch. Pre-patch Balteus, though, was one of the best fights I've had in games. Customization of its parts and weapons as well as painting your mech make it even more ATTRACTIVE. The only problem I had was with the camera controls being slow for my taste, making enemies hard to track, especially when they move so fast that you lose your lock easily. Appearing behind you (I have trouble activating the quick-turn).
