GNT: Welcome to Cracking the Case, a new feature that I am introducing on Game N Train. Each week, I will try out a new game and give you my first impressions on what this game does right and what this game does wrong.

I didn't even need a review to know that this game was gonna be garbage. Seriously, im getting sick of this gens rushed out mentality.

poop
it seems like Square Enix likes to loose money and fans...
it was doomed to suck though
since it got off it's roots to go into an Armored core wannabe..
*sigh*
I miss the old Front mission :(
