Replayed this again, definitely my favorite of the series still. Lots of positives, and many obvious ones. The part collecting is really fun and adds tons of replay value, the parts themselves are greatly expanded and pretty well balanced. The story and vibe are very memorable and unique, the entire Silent Line concept is very captivating for me. The music is maybe my favorite in the series too. The arena is probably the best except maybe AC2. The difficulty very high, probably the hardest game in the series besides Last Raven. Mission variety is great, though nothing tops Another Age in that regard. Peak of oldschool Armored Core. Don't listen to kiddies not going for part collecting and using OP-INTENSIFY.
