Front Mission 3 PS1 8.5
Very cool in game internet, email, forums system that is full of interesting tidbits. Very good music and good visuals that hold up well. The story starts off weak and gets rather long winded toward the end, DHZ area, but otherwise ok. The gameplay and design is very solid and I enjoyed the option to speed up the battles and movements. I didn't enjoy the four player battle limit when you have a crew of eight. I also didn't like the three to five times that you have to split up your crew into two teams. Thus meaning that only four player were leveled and the other four not, making for annoying battles. Overall a nice reminder of the good ole mech strategy days.

Never released over in the states but fans have dubbed it. Good graphics and slick combat animations. You now move and attack in one smooth motion. You can also heal and restore parts now as an ability, not item based, which is a huge game changer. Missiles now need line of sight which makes them useless since ammo is needed. Enemies also don't surrender now and have to destroyed, which can get annoying. The game's story takes place over a large amount of time(FM2-4), so there are tons of time jumps. That gets jarring and annoying considering technical upgrades that should be quickly evolving.
