The Front Mission series makes its debut on the PlayStation 2 with an enhanced battle system, new Link System, and dramatic voice-overs. Set in 2096, Front Mission 4 takes place six years after the Second Huffman Conflict, the stage for the original Front Mission. Your point of view switches between two separate characters, who find themselves trapped within a dangerous global conspiracy. As in the previous games, you can fully customize your wanzers--or mech units--with a variety of powerful weaponry and parts. In addition, new tactical features, such as the Link System, bring a new dimension of strategy to the game.
No title With a shift from a more luck based skill system to a more realistic 'link' system, Front Mission 4 is a more convincing turn based strategy than its predecessor. The new system overall is a good change, but tends to force players to specific tactics to fully utilize it.
The usual things that makes this series great remains: captivating story, engaging battles and in-depth mecha customization. A first for the series is voice acting during the cutscenes which is well done.
A good game for both fans and new comers alike.
