Video Game Reviews of Phantom Crash
Customer Review: Good game way too much dialog...
Summary: 3 Stars
This game was originally done for Japan and then translated into English. So it has many of the stereotypical Japanese components. It takes place in Japan, Japanese characters, story mode, difficult to understand at first and a lot of the great Japanese innuendoes(sp?). Nothing is wrong with these except THERE IS SO MUCH TEXT AND DIALOGUE TO GET THROUGH YOU WANT TO DESTROY SOMETHING! Good thing that's the object of the game. Thank GOD a certain button combination skips it quickly-otherwise you cannot possibly play the game. If you can get through all the dialogue, its a good game. The gameplay is fun and challenging. The soundtrack is amazing! But it seems as if there are only three different boards (combat zones) with day and night. I guess that will probably get a little repetitive.You earn money to upgrade by destroying other mechs and if you last long enough in the board you can challenge the area ranker. Destroy him/her and you can move on, to where I do not know. As far as I can tell you never loose your mech unless you run out of money to repair it. You mech is seriously customizeable beyond all belief all the way down to brand specific weapons to stickers to upgrading your animal chip controller intelligence, I'll admit it was daunting at first but you'll get the hang of it. You'll love the optic camouflage!
The controls are common XBOX controls, nice and intuitive. MOvement is easy inside the game. I have not beat the game yet or played the multiplayer so maybe this is a preliminary review. The game will not automatically save for you so don't forget to do that.
I give it only three stars because of all the damn dialogue and it seems to have only three boards(combat zones), get through that and you have a good game.
Description of Phantom Crash
In the year 2031, Tokyo is suffering from massive air pollution and thermal island phenomenon. The Japanese government has moved its capital to Neo Tokyo City, a shelter city built on an artificial island. Shinjuku and Shibuya of old Tokyo have been closed off to civilians to protect them from collapsing buildings, and the vicinity has been declared "Trash Area." And now in the middle of Trash Area a battle game called Rumbling has started, in which participants pilot Scoobee, a highly mobile close-combat vehicle, to destroy the opponent, earn the prize, and climb the ranking ladder. Since the day it started being televised, Rumbling has thrilled viewers with the excitement of destruction and suspense coming from the invisible danger of optic camouflage. In 2031, Rumbling has become the biggest entertainment in the history. The gladiators of this new era aimed for just two goals: strength and style.All Games
