Steel Battalion: Line of Contact Reviews

• Does NOT work.

  This game is the victim of extremely poor netcode. There is a 20% chance of getting into a 2v2 game in Free Mode, and close to 0% in Campaign mode. It is supposed to support 5v5, but no one in the US has been able to come close to that. My connection is a 2mb DL/512k UL.

  Capcom & Microsoft are playing the blame game, and the customers are left out to dry. I recommend getting something else until (or if) these issues are fixed. It's really a shame - the game itself is outstanding. If you can't play an online-only game online...what good is it?!
  
  

• This is going to be one of the most epic games ever

  Last Christmas I took the plunge into getting Steel Battalion. To this day, I play it at least 5 times a week, the game is so incredibly awesome. Now with Line of Contact coming very soon, its going to take this game to the next epic level. With Xbox Live (yes its online!) five on five teams can battle it out in deathmatches, capture the flag and more game modes to be shown later. New VT's (vertical tanks, that's what you pliot in the game) new weapons, new mission & enviroments. If you are a dir hard Mech fan, this game will have you pissing in your pants. When played on a 48' HDTV w/ surround sound, this is one of the best game experiences ever. My respect for the Xbox has been won over with this game, not even Halo could warm me up to this system. But in order to enjoy this game, you MUST have the 40 button, 3 foot pedel controller with is included with the origianal game. So, if you are feeling up to the steep challenge (and price) you will have the time of your gaming life with this game.

  I would love to be able to write a review about playing the game,but becouse Capcom does not state on the box that you can only play their game if you buy a special controler I have no clue what the game is like.Not only that but I can not even find the controler to buy(or how much for it).I do not like to bad mouth some ones product, but when I pay $45.00 for a game I would like to be able to play it. I just thought you might want to know about the controler befor Capcom suckers you into spending more money just to play thier game
