TDS' lone Asian writer talks about an entry in the mech strategy series that never left Japanese shores.

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.
Today, I’m Cracking the Case on Front Mission: Evolved, by Square Enix.
Its sad that games like this exemplify JP devs inability to make games for HD consoles.
Many Western devs for that matter.
If I had never played a Front Mission game, this game would look ok. But I really wish they'd made a turn-based Front Mission game with these nice graphics.

I guess so. Front Mission has always been a niche series and I've been a loyal fan, so in some way I do feel a bit left out that I'm not able to play a new turn-based FM game.
