In the year 2171 you pilot the ultimate fighting machine known as a Wanzer, on the PS3.

This mechanized suit is packed with weaponry including rockets and machine guns, but this is not the only attack the Wanzer can perform, as due to nimble movement you can skate towards your enemy and deliver a devastating blow with powerful robot arms.

Some stages involve you leaving the relative safety of your Wanzer to venture out on foot, offering a pretty standard third-person shooter experience.

The game is a new venture for developers Square Enix who are normally associated with role-playing and turn-based games.

Maybe this is why there is something lacking with this title, it is okay in terms of graphics and gameplay but there are similar games that offer more.
