Game needs a patch and there is no install option from what I see. There's Easy, Medium and Hard difficulty levels. You start with a quick tutorial which shows you how to move your Wanzer and fire each type of weapon. There can be 4 weapons equipped on a Wanzer which can be used in battle via the 4 shoulder buttons. Each weapon seems to have it's advantages, melee is up close and does a lot more damage if you dash (circle button) into a punch. Machine guns are allrounders but overheat if you don't let off on the trigger. Missiles you need to hilight your enemy and hold the fire button down to lock-on each individual rocket then let go to fire, they home in on targets and are pretty handy.
You and your enemies have body parts. Wanzers have legs, two arms and a body while other types of enemy can have different setups ie helicopters or gun turrets will just have one health bar. If your enemy is holding a machine gun in their right hand you can destroy their right arm to lower their accuracy with the gun drastically. But from what I've played, trying to destroy parts deliberately before actually going for the body seems to do more harm than good. Instead it seems like just a bonus, if you happen to destroy parts while trying to kill enemies then great. Legs can be damaged to lower yours and your enemies moving ability and if the body is destroyed then that's the end of that Wanzer. Your body recharges back to full if you can take cover somewhere but your other parts will still remain broken. When you die you just go back to the last checkpoint or you can redo the entire level.
There's alot of item pickups in a level, there's plenty of ammo and health to grab to restore your body parts and you can find even more goodies if you go looking around. I found some cash in a few hiding places and there are Emblems and Sensors that you can collect on each level. Getting some of these gave me more money and I think finding all of them on a level gives you extra battle abilities which I've not used yet. Must say though, some of the places these items are hidden in are pretty clever. One of the Emblems in level 1 had me climbing the outside of a building and using the hover ability to get around. Didn't think I'd be doing this kind of thing in a Wanzer but they are pretty mobile here
It's alright so far. Was thinking this would be a right stinker after reading some of the reviews but I don't mind it actually.
