DESCRIPTION

Japanese developer From Software䀙s series of mech combat titles comes to an explosive end on PlayStation 2 with Armored Core: Last Raven. The storyline takes place six months after the events in 2004䀙s Armored Core: Nexus, where the Alliance and Vertex are locked in a bitter struggle for world supremacy. Each faction continues the war with human pilots collectively known as Ravens, who are constantly battling and upgrading their mechs with more than 500 parts, weapons, and options. Last Raven is notable for including human characters, a first for the series, and a dynamic campaign that allows users to shape the narrative through their actions in over 70 missions. Last Raven also features the ability for mechs to continue fighting when faced with a disabled head, arm, or leg. The versus mode in previous versions returns to offer more head-to-head battles from a split-screen viewpoint. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide
