As colonists depart, so do the corporations, ready to supply manufacturing equipment and basic needs to every man, woman, and child to set foot on the red planet.
Naturally, the Ravens have joined the movement and now operate largely from Mars. You are once again thrust into the role of a new Raven pilot, soldier of fortune, mercenary for hire. Armored Core 2 's plotline progresses as a series of in-game cut-scenes rendered wonderfully in the Armored Core 2 engine and emails that you receive between missions. Initially hired purely for mercenary reasons by a variety of corporations, you're soon embroiled into a plot involving special forces soldiers from Earth and a conspiracy involving unmanned robots called Disorder Units.
At its heart, Armored Core 2 is unchanged, essentially the same as the original Armored Core -- all of the gameplay and cinematics are handled in the exact same fashion. Basically divided into two sections, construction and mission, Armored Core 2 is a light action game with enough features to entertain any mech enthusiast.
Your Armored Core the big robot that you pilot within the game is the latest in military technology, able to handle tens of different limb, weapon, and electronic packages. In the mission mode, your Core is controlled from a 3rd person perspective, with traditional movement handled by the directional pad on your PS2 Dual Shock 2. Your R and L buttons control aiming up and down, as well as side to side strafing, and the buttons are used to control your weaponry and turbo boost.
Clicking on the R3 or L3 button allows you to 'overboost,' which propels your Core at tremendous speeds but limits your maneuverability and quickly drains your energy. Your weapons are easy to aim, but hard to master, ranging from machine-guns to cannons to laser and plasma guns.
The game plays similar to a first person shooter, with a strong 'mecha' feel. Depending on how you construct your Core, you can have a lumbering beast with massive firepower, or a lithe machine with extreme maneuverability. One flaw of the action mode is that the developers of Armored Core 2 didn't provide full Dual Shock 2 control for the game, forcing you to use the directional pad to control your mech.
In the construction part of the game, you receive emails that inform you of the plot as it develops and you have the ability to spend your hard-earned cash. This section of the game allows you to purchase and sell Core parts, which you can use in the garage to construct your Core. This is the area of the game that offers the most attraction to mecha fans, as you can customize your Core to your heart's content.
With over ten different part types legs, arms, right hand weapon, booster pack, etc. Armored Core 2 supports two person split-screen play, but it isn't anything to get excited about.
Cramming all of the information you'd normally need into a space half as big as it was designed to use doesn't tend to improve the playability of the game. Multiplayer doesn't get good until you're able to use an I-link cable to hook together two PS2s and two TVs. Each player gets his or her own screen and controls, and doesn't have to worry sharing space with another player. Armored Core 2 doesn't take full advantage of the many graphic features in the PS2, but it comes very close.
Each of the Core parts is highly detailed, down to small moving panels and expandable barrels. The scenery also receives a lion's share of detail, with intricate cityscapes featuring destructible buildings and wide-open spaces.
All of the textures in the game are high-quality, eliminating much of the pixelation seen in older games. Even with all of the splendor of these detailed environments, with simple lighting effects and anti-aliasing, the levels themselves are usually sparse, keeping the system performance high and enhancing gameplay.
