Update: July 30, 2009
«©NCSX» A catastrophic conflagration on the Martian surface forces the denizens of the planet below the crust once again. Relegated to a dismal existence in a social system known as "Layered," the survivors live under the auspices of a computer program called "The Controller" which directs the comings and goings in the subterranean city. Aspiring peons and drudges born into the world of Layered are able to pull themselves up by their bootstraps by joining the ranks of the Ravens. Mercenaries by trade, Ravens bear the emblem of whoever's willing to pay top dollar for their services. Most eager to pay are vast and, by default, sinister corporations which jockey for control of the Martian subsurface - Crest, Kisaragi, and Mirage. Armored Core places players in control of a mechanical marauder that's fast and destructive. Outfit your bot with a dizzying array of parts including new arms, heads, and legs from a total of 14 categories. Once the Raven is ready for action, launch it into escort and/or firefight missions along with the occasional foray where your Raven provides defense or a diversion. New wrinkles to the tried and true Armored Core gameplay include armored consorts, air support, and "Exceed Orbits." At the outset of the game, players have to tackle a trial mission to ensure that their mech handling skills are adequate to join the ranks of the Ravens. The PSP version of Armored Core 3 features an ad hoc communication mode where players may link up with friends for a Raven battle royale and true 16:9 widescreen for an expansive view of the action.
