Looks like the second Robotech game is already out! Cheap miserly Tom won't be getting until the price drops, but I am looking forward to playing it! I had alot of fun playing the Robotech Battlecry game. And I hope this will be as good.
For those who don't know, Robotech was a popular american version of a japanese cartoon in the 80s. And this game covers the third chapter where earth was conquered and our offworld forces launched a campaign to free it.
minor spoiler regarding how the game begins.
You start out as a nameless soldier with the returning Earth Expeditionary Force. Earth has been invaded by the alien Invid and conquered. YOu are part of the force to reinvade earth and liberate it. Before the gameplay starts you are captured by the invid who do genetic experiments on you, then tosses out your body like refuse. You eventually find the body of a soldier and you don his armor. The name on the armor is "Locke" and that is your name throughout the game.
Sofar it looks like all the invid types are in there. I'm looking forward to blowing away lots of the stormtrooper variety. (the purple ones)
From what I can tell, the game is mostly played with the transformable cyclone armor. You can switch back and forth between the cyclone powrsuit armor to the cyclone motorcycle. When you are in powersuit mode the game plays alot like your typical 1st person shooter. The game I hear has some similarity to Halo when you aren't riding your bike. You can only carry one spare secondary weapon at a time. But you have a main weapon that upgrades during the game. And the cyclone armor/motorbike itself can upgrade.
This game feature ONLINE play. WIth up to 8 people participating. So that may be fun!
Anyways, when the price drops, I hope to play with some of you in the first Colonial Fleet defense of the Earth from the Invids!
