Classic Game Room HD - FRONT MISSION 4 for PS2 review Part 2

Part 2 of 2. Classic Game Room reviews FRONT MISSION 4 for the Playstation 2 PS2 video game console. This Front Mission 4 review shows gameplay from FM4 by Square Enix. It is a turn based strategy game where you command an army of giant Mechwarrior like robots in combat against the forces of evil. Similar in scope and style to the popular Final Fantasy Tactics series, Front Mission 4 comes alive with intense, strategy based gameplay that requires players to think, plan ahead and use complicated attack and linking plans to eliminate their enemy Wanzers, tanks and helicopters. If you like Final Fantasy Tactics then odds are you will enjoy FM4. If you enjoyed Front Mission 3 on the PSone you'll definitely like this game although CGRHD found the plot with the Zaftrans and Venezuelan freedom fighters to be a bit lacking. Seriously... the thieves stealing a box of gold?? Come on. But giant robots with machine guns, shotguns, missiles, rockets, EMP pulse backpacks and brass knuckles are always a good thing. Front Mission 4 is a cheap and easy game to find for the PS2 these days and well worth a look if you like strategy based video games. Classic Game Room reviews new and retro video games. Sucka! You may learn a few tips and tricks from the footage in this review to improve your gaming in Front Mission 4. Squaresoft! If you like Tranzor Z, Mech Warrior or Giant Robo you should check this out!

Do you need to have played the previous games to enjoy this?

You can jump right in and start with FM4, there isn't any real continuity with the storyline between versions. Just make sure to do the tutorials in the game which help get you up to speed on the gameplay. -CGRHD

I totally disagree. It is oxymoronic to insist that a reviewer keep his opinions to himself. That's like asking a comic to keep his opinions to himself, or a basketball player to keep the ball to himself. A review is a collection of personal opinions about what is being reviewed.

What would you have him say instead? What year the game came out? The number of hitpoints each of his mechs has? That would make the review rather dull.

@aribenzane no

@Lancelt666 it hasnt the number 6 right next to it, but it's the sixth realese in the franchise...If you like these kind of games (tactical) I still dont recommend it, if you like armored cores like games, it will probably like u.

[Lancelt666]

I like this game very much (IMO it is waaay better than FM5). Are there any other turn based strategies without knights, summons andpells on PS2 ?

[Lancelt666]

@ElBribri

Front Mission Evolved is just crappy spin-off not 6th game.

[ElBribri]

@aribenzane If you like, you can check Front Missions 2 story line, I think it has something to do with this one

[ElBribri]

@Miken2341 sorry to dissapoint you but FM 6 is Front Mission Evolved which is totally different from this, it is not a strategy game but a First Person Shooter, you should get Front Mission 5 though its pretty much the same as this one, it's for the PS2, not sure if it is for PC or Xbox...

[ElBribri]

@tubular87 well it depends very much on the reviewer though...

[Miken2341]

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE GAME EVER I NEED FRONT MISSON 6 LIKE THIS ON XBOX I WOULD DIE :D
