Chromehounds Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Chromehounds is a mech simulator.It may sound obvious, but a lot of people seem to think it's the next Mechwarrior.Mechwarrior (for x-box) was an arcade game that was simple to play and easy to learn.Chromehounds is much more difficult to play and the learning curve is very steep.

The single player story mode is shallow and really nothing more than a glorified trainer for the x-box live version.In fact, if you don't have x-box live gold, this game isn't even worth renting.

The graphics run from very good to pretty poor.The mechs look great and are highly detailed.You can customize your mech with a ton of camoflauge patterns and decals.The environments, on the other hand, are pretty sappy.Buildings, grass, and sand look pretty bland.

The mech customization is really the key to play (otherwise equally powered mechs would just be strafing each other and whoever has slightly better aim would win).You can load up on weapons and armor, at the expense of speed.There are TONS of weapons, legs, and cockpits.You can carry missle counters, thermal vision, night vision, and other "assist" parts.

X-box live featurs a "war" with three warring nations.Every player must pick allegiance to one nation (though you can change allegiances) and you can go on missions for your country.The goal of each mission is to destroy the enemy's HQ while defending your own.You also win, but get less points, if you destroy the other team's mechs.

X-box live also features ranked and unranked games so you can just try out your mech against other players before taking it on the campaign.

This game is complex and it takes a while to figure out how to build the right mech for the right mission.My only real complaint is going on missions requires you join up with your squad.If you've ever been in a "clan" on x-box live, you know how hard it is to link up with your team to play other teams.Overall, this game offers a unique mech simulator that assures players won't necessarily be beaten by trash talking 13 year olds with excellent hand eye coordination.
