Steel Battalion for the Xbox Review

[JETSTREAM221]

@finalhazard0 Yea dude do it!!!!! It could be like the front view of the cockpit controls or something :D

[finalhazard0]

Damn and when this releases on xbox we have to sit in a chair <---LOL, in order to play xD

[BizzLeVrai]

back in the day game have real controler!

with boton. and feel.



[wintersoldier909]

will the controller work on 360 or will i need to whip out the og

[Vnx]

I remember wanting this game so bad as a kid XD Never got the chance to try it...

[PhantomAssassin258]

Okay. Cool. Not bad, since you are still new to the game. But as an owner, and PWENER of the same game I think you left out some MAJOR details. Get better, and show this awesomeness in it's true colors! There is no awesomer game. And you've only scratched the surface of what it can do. Trust me. I've beaten both campaigns dozens of times. On Veteran. Which is only the 3rd out of 6 difficulties. Or is it 7? I have a total of 189 hours logged. I know cause it tells you in the game.

[Exolesco]

HOLY SHIT your tables is weird.

[IceShot42]

@Exolesco I think it is a Pacman arcade

[CrAzYpOtHeAd420time]

Damn that thing looks fun

U must have a good job to pay for all that expensive shit u got O.o

[graphicsgod]

Born in 81?!? I could have sworn you were older than me lol!

[munf]

This just shows how the original xbox was such a hardocre console back in the days with tons of original games like this one . Too bad they didn't sell for shit : ( I really miss playing games such as panzer dragoon orta, breakdown, metal arm, jet set radio future, NG black etc. it all felt so epic while this current generation seems so streamlined. Of course there are still incredible titles that come out but I don't think they will remain in my mind as vividly as these original xbox titles.

[DickyMcLongShots]

This is not a game you buy for the xbox, but is a game you buy the xbox for!

[richiecody]

love how the last game he was playing was bmx xxx.

lol, strippers!

[xOD1Nx]

Awesome controller man!

[viper2million]

know i got to spend 500 dollars just to play this game :(

[BWKeegan]

this reminds me of mechagodzilla

[BlueShadow463]

I Love Original XBOX!!

[JerryFro26]

Why dont game companies make super cool game accessories like this anymore??? so sad :(

[JETSTREAM221]

@JerryFro26 dude imagine a huge ass controller for jets!!!! :D

[finalhazard0]

@JETSTREAM221 i was actually going to mention that to someone who works in a company that makes jet flying games like why not a a realistic Jet Pilot Set :D

[JackDaScarecrow]

@Shiro00ms Oh yeah and most importantly one hit kills like in the show.....

[JackDaScarecrow]

@Shiro00ms YES I WAS SAYING THE SAME THING. Imagine something like this but 10 times faster(most Gundam games tend to be on the slow side) and online multiplayer with SPACE COMBAT!!!

[jk1143gamer]

kinect version sucks ass really the point of this game was to make it real as possible for the player giving them a cockpit with actually controls that u may see.

[ninjazhu]

that's funny the clean windows button is near the weapons selector - it's not like you'd want to accidently push the wrong one

[SiiCkkify]

lol march 25th is me birth day 2!

[dadadada336]

kinect can go suck it like we need that



[SuperDave7089]

@dadadada336 i have a kinect and its really fun

[HeyItsASquirrel]

BMX XXX... lol

[aidanM92]

apparently theres a new steel battalion game coming out for the 360. I hope it supports and includes the controller or something like it.

[CoOpEnki]

@aidanM92 Source?

[aidanM92]

@CoOpEnki Wikipedia. But I checked again and the article says that it's using kinect instead of this badass joystick so I'm not really interested...

[CoOpEnki]

@aidanM92 Yeah, I read that too .. fucking Kinect, no one needs that shit.

[Yeevle]

I never did get around to buying that for my xbox. I really regret it now.

[mssuperhuntergaga]

cool wach man

[tauntdragoon]

i have this game but my xbox broke and never got a new one and then my disc got messed

[MrDonovanFrost]

I've dreamed about owning this game...

[IRaceWithTurles]

Where can you buy one of these?

[Ilovemetal777]

This game with the Sony HD/3D viewer would be amazing if they updated the graphics a bit.

[siwy2501]

Looks like Chuck Norris

[TheSubLevel]

i miss this game ... i turned around to sell my controller and both discs and only got $25 ... but was able to sell my gen 1 xbox and 40+ games for $150 lol

[AchronTimeless]

@TheSubLevel hah, that's why you don't sell stuff like this at gamestop. People are regularly getting at least $100 for just the controller.

[TheSubLevel]

@AchronTimeless i actually sold the gen 1 xbox and games to a friend and same with the controller and two discs for steelbatallion to another friend .... thats how i got $25 lol gamestop was less then $25 lol

[LeahWayEarth]

bmx xxx? really?

[manicmetalhead69]

windscreen wiper button is necessary, TO WIPE THE BLOOD OF THE WINDSCREEN!!!! >:D

[chadheck96]

I want a Jet flight simulation game like this.

[farmerdwight]

@chadheck96 DCS A10c Warthog Simulator and the Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog Replica USAF A-10C Throttle/Stick

[Jerry2die4]

Jesus this is an awsome game. put a cover around you and it and set up a motion/vibration setup and you can feel like your in a V.T.

[MrNin10dods]

I was so happy I was able to find this for $8, I love flea markets!!!

[kingjoey52a]

Drunk Tank!!!!!

[ARM1231]

@kingjoey52a same here

[BringerOfD]

of course it'd be a steep learning curve. with the way your'e intended to play and the way the controller is, you're essentially learning how to drive and operate a VT irl rather than on a game console. i guessing that's the best feature of the game, is that you're essentially doing it for real.

[icedragon1796]

ROOSTER TEETH DRUNK TANK

[malganus4]

ultra hard core

[macandfriends]

you know what would be cool? Additions to the controller for co-op play. While one person shoots and controls weapons and such, the other person moves and controls speed and startup and such

[Nordfallen]

When I was younger I saw this on a tralier with some asians plaiyng it, I thought it was never actually a game off the shelf! You guys think you have it bad in america where Japan dosn't give out some games, here in Aus they are even more less likely!

Awesome video thanks for sharing

[daveman247]

I'm sorry but all i can say is why? Why did they make this, overcomplicated silliness DX

window wipers, really??? Only inJapan,..

I'll stick with mechassault on the xbox :)

[TheTukTuk2008]

If there ever where a Mech, it got to be like this.

[TheTukTuk2008]

Craziest.Game.Controller.Ever!­ Nothing comes even close.

[MrBROKEBALLIN]

1:22 bmxxx FTW!

[abot19]

if anyone here lives in Canada british columbia theres a guy selling one near mint on craigslist

[MisterMinnesota]

now why the fuck wouldn't you press the eject button, that was the coolest looking button...ugh, cool looking game, would like to own or at least play one some day.

[Connorrules1]

@MisterMinnesota another reason is the whole if you don't and you die, then your save goes bye bye...

[MisterMinnesota]

@Connorrules1 yeah cuz her was really trying

[iamdisplacedlilak]

@MisterMinnesota I played it once when I was 10. ALL i did was eject xD You can only do it when your V.T. is in critical condition though :P

[MisterMinnesota]

@iamdisplacedlilak hah, I mean, that button is wuite tempting.

[T3hBAMFchann3l]

i so want one of those

[AaronAndersonRWP]

The sequel should have had a controller even bigger, with double the buttons, and have it's own monitors attached that provide information.

I'd much rather pay for that than a Kinect..

[bombomos]

@AaronAndersonRWP I agree to the highest caliber. Kinect isn't ready for a game like this.

[TheShinobiSan]

@bombomos

It's either that or a lot of controllers will be thrown into TVs.

[FreedomFighterEx]

@AaronAndersonRWP well if that happen it's not controller, it's cockpit.

yes i rather pay for this more than Kinect : P

[AaronAndersonRWP]

@FreedomFighterEx 'It's not a controller, it's a cockpit.'

>:) Exactly!

[Damianmccl]

Eve online has a harder learning curve I found steel battalion to be a hard learning curve but a easy game

[bravotwozero007]

just picked this beast up on ebay,cant wait to try it out!!

[MetalTiger88]

@bravotwozero007

well if you like hard games, then you gonna love it =) it takes some time to get into it, but as soon as you get it, it´s a lot of fun ^-^

[bravotwozero007]

@MetalTiger88 yh alot of people said its hard at first,cant wait though looks awesome!!

[MetalTiger88]

@bravotwozero007

oh yeah it definately is^^ and if everything works i am gonna build my own cabinet for that game =D (just hope i can make enoug space for that beast >_>)

[justjosh0123]

I wish there was a better viewing as in right in the front row seat. This game looks awesome!! Coming from chromehounds this game is bad ass!

[dagnaste01]

they should make a meckwarrior game for xbox with this kinda controler

[saltyninja01]

i wish chromehounds had this kinda controller

[squirralicious]

Omg, I really want this game, it looks so badass Dx

[yulecat]

what a killing equipment

[ROOKTABULA]

WHY the feck would Capcom dink us AGAIN, (after the shitastic sequel to this game), and NOT use this controller for the 360?? At least, even 9 years later, give those of us who dropped the 2 bills a chance to use it some more?

I'm sure it'll be sooo much better on kinnect.

;mfao.

Nice fail Crapcom.

[PhoenixOrichimaru]

I remember when this game was released in 2002 I always wanted to play it

[ganymedeIV4]

oh hmm... 2.50$ XBOX to USB adapter and thats my new flight stick right there.

[Logicfray]

@ganymedeIV4 wouldn't make a very good flight sim stick, the left stick only goes left and right and the right stick is not self centering. 

[MarkusReese]

@ganymedeIV4 plus if you can find one of those, it would cost more than getting a flight stick....

[ganymedeIV4]

@MarkusReese

I see one on ebay right now for 59.99$ No game just the controller.... but consoles blow chunks anyways.

if steel battalion was on PC, I'd still be playing it on my PC... just faster with better graphics higher resolution and more free add-ons.

Can't say that about playing Gran turismo 1 working on your playstation 3 now can you?

[MarkusReese]

@ganymedeIV4 Good deal. But the controller only works for the Xbox. Sides, as for consoles blowing, have had to spend alot less on "upgrading" consoles over the years than I have had to keep a pc up with the times. Each have their place. Some console is good, others I like pc.

[ganymedeIV4]

@MarkusReese But a PC is the console (through emulation) and various USB adapters for the original controllers to work as well. although i admit some of them are a little on the buggy side (although online N64 playing mario kart is always fun)

But you right. consoles don't require any back knowledge, you just click the button and your playing a game...every time, no voodoo magic required to make it work.

FPS/MMO games though always have and probably always will suck on a controller/console

[HitNail]

@ganymedeIV4 Just a heads up, I am pretty sure that this required two ports not 100 percent on that though.

[eliteswat]

400 buttons??

[GamerNinjaX]

OK this is the reason I will buy an original xbox

[VvXXXvV]

Bmx xxx.... What an awful game

[jeremiahmcclurg]

im number 420. ha!

[Stuppern]

God this is awesome.

[lsbtrindade]

This control panel looks so great. What a piece of hardware. I bet the game looks even more serious on this. Its a pitty that the new movement controls took the place this time.

[richarddale76]

you forgot to say that if you die in the game...thats it, you start from scratch. If you dont eject in time when health is low and die...say on the very last level...the game goes into the xbox harddrive and deletes your save game. and you have to start all over again

[TylerFknMetal]

Shit...I want to pick this game/controller up and build a mockup cockpit with some giant flatscreens and surround sound!

[Gazzer343]

Is this backwards compatible with the 360?



[BluenoseCOOP]

@Gazzer343 no because the controller has the original xbox style plug.

[digioverlord]

steel battalion: poof that simple controls does not always mean a better game!

[1793fuji]

25/3/1981, lol i'm on the 26/3/1995 xD

[Tetarkall]

Dude! When I was a kid my uncle had this! I tried to play it and couldn't figure out how to move, let alone shoot shit, lmao!

[nikryj]

BMX XXX lololol

[VNVgirl]

omg i want one!! hehe thanks for showing. great vid! :)

[eroticstfu]

y arent u playing golden tee?

[drake0074]

Where's the cord that plugs into your brain? What? I didnt come with one? Piece of shit!

[MiamiRoach]

you gotta be shitting me

[SleepyJackUK]

now thats immersive gameplay

[DarkDezzick]

This must have just fallen out of the 80s...

[NerfModTutorials]

I think I just shit my pants

[MrProphase]

Wow! Thanks for demonstrating this peripheral and game. I remember reading about it prior to the release and thinking "that's a lot of samolians to be shellin' out" but, it's comparable to the price of some special/collector edition game packages today!

[Jyoumon]

This needs to come out and be PC compatible with the Mechwarrior series...just THINK of the fun you could have XDD

[LiBrA86]

@Jyoumon Um, dude, you can use it with Mechwarrior.

You just need the xbox controller to USB adaptor, and people have made the drivers for it. It works really well with Mechwarrior. xD

[Jyoumon]

@LiBrA86

Your kidding me O_O...Seriously!...HELL i might just have to find this online some day.

IT IS MINE!!! XDD

[penshat]

i think i had a nerdgasm!

[joner97]

vin diesel?

[guv859]

This is selling for £200.00 on Amazon UK at the moment. For £200.00 I could get five new games. I'd rather have this!

[thebigJ1er]

So cool. It's absurd and ridiculous and awesome, all at once.

Imagine if these things caught on? There'd be crazy controllers for all different sorts of games, and you could have dozens of people playing each other online or over Xbox Live. The sim genre would've regained popularity, too. I can picture playing a sub game like the Silent Hunter series, where you have a periscope in your living room.

Would've been expensive as hell to be a gamer, but still.

[jerkyman9]

@thebigJ1er you realize they tried doing that right? this is what capcom was trying to get too... never caught on they probably never do it again.... these Steel battalion games were awesome had 1&2 never played 2 that much never beat the first one anyway... this game also WAS WAY TOO COMPLICATED and this IS coming from a sim lover...

@fidelis65 i wish i still had mine.... sold it for 300$(yea...)

[fidelis65]

damn i miss this game i feel like putting it back together

[EpiicKlayFish]

now all you need to make that even better is a set of turtle beach (e.g. turtle beach px21)

[1985woooman]

BMX XXX, so what now, bikes with porn, or does that mean a 3rd to the sequel :D

[lococolosjuego]

your a lucky ugly man

[UberFatManSam]

Will this work on xbox 360?

[speeddemon982]

@UberFatManSam no because its an xbox controller and xbox 360 controllers are wireless

[Fetchdafish]

Pedals should have been jumpjets.

[eskimo810]

jesus, this video is riddled with that's what she said jokes.

[Crispyreaper09]

Oh my gosh, how I wish I could have gotten this game... How I wish I could STILL get this game!

[qFATKIDp]

so how is this game gunna work with kinect if the 1st had a big ass controller

[CanadianInJapan]

so this is just mech warrior 3 with a big ass controller?

[dupajuda]

is that BMX XXX

[Nightwing690]

you're almost 30 John?

wow, when I first watched your videos, I thought you were a college student

[xXDylanXx13]

nice 

[robthatguyx]

ok gamester im thinking of buying one of these, tell me honestly is it worth buying a whole normal xbox just for this game?

[splash1788]

Naughty boy! BMX XXX! :) GOOD GAME and Steel Battalion rocks!

[alejomax1]

Why does this cost 200 dolars

[Slachtkop]

@alejomax1 lot of control panels

[makemap]

No wonder it's $200, I thought the game itself was $200 and I was like no way. That's a cost of an Xbox. in 2004

[raikiri23]

This game...as a big mech fan...I must have

[NeverEndingInc]

Why did you have bmx xxx on your table????

[illustriouschin]

I have had plenty of opportunities to buy one of these,,, and many other rare consoles and accessories but collecting things is so expensive in the short term with no guarantee of a return. So yeah I regret not having stuff that is valuable but I don't regret buying stuff to live off of because i'm a lazy, broke bastard!

[johnpa2006]

I still have my Steel Battalion, but I threw out the box like an dumy, but I have everything else for it. One day I will play this again, its just to cool to throw out or trade or sell on e-bay.

Its a shame they didnt come out with a tank sim for this controller or a flight sim.

Capcom could make a little more money on this idea.

[spoonmonkey14]

Horrible game. Not worth a dime.

[ZENXMETAL]

@spoonmonkey14 go play shit cod.

[spoonmonkey14]

@ZENXMETAL

Oh i didn't know you are 16 years of age and behave like one. If you didn't like my feedback, you could have ignored me dude. FYI, i am not a Call of Duty fan.

[ZENXMETAL]

@spoonmonkey14 Nm sorry about that some times people who say things play a lot of Cod. trust me every one that i know that plays CoD all there care about is the Graphics and other stupid shit.

[themaker74]

Steel Battalion was one game far before its time, it's sequil is actually Steel Battlion: Line of Contact, was multiplayer if you would like to see more on it KingLeerUK and some others made the site check it out RIGHTBROTHER FOREVER!

[P13r0Z]

this is for "Xbox" or xbox 360 =S

[KINGzToolBelT]

@P13r0Z xbox original

[MetalTiger88]

i bid on that thing today on e-bay, but i didnt won the bid =( it was just 91€ with shipping >_>

[wondermega4ever]

Even the Jaguar controller is smaller.

[ps3gamesncomicbooks]

I see bmx xxx on the table in 1:22 what have you been doing with that gamester lol.

[blasterdozer]

goooooood video nice video beattifull game

[AliciaDarky]

I don't know but... It looks boring... But... The control looks cool =P.

[gamemaster8814]

does this game work for 360 cus I wanna get it but I dont have xbox original

[mangaman1001]

@gamemaster8814 I hope for it, cuz normally its suppose to work if you're connected to the internet but I'm not sure about the accessory... ^^

[cpu64]

@gamemaster8814

NOPE, not even the controller works since the 360 doesn't have the hardware to recognize anything related to the original xbox.

But I've seen work on a 360 port of this game.. But its not an official port.

[Rangerwolf447]

This game will be so much easier with Kinect support

[seganerd89]

Gotta love the Bmx XXX game at 1:34. I Love that game.

[scir91]

mechs will take over the world in 2080 so you better start training right now!

[MDiPietro16]

@inu200521 Why would you care if he has bmx xxx? Uptight bitch.

[hylkehaagsma]

Can't wait for heavy armor.

[inu200521]

wow bmx XXX you scumbag!

[matt759537]

that is actually really cool thank you for this video i never heard of this game before i might actually get it this gets a thumbs up
