Game Interface Review: Front Mission Evolved (Xbox 360, PS3, PC)

The Front Mission series has traditionally been a turn based strategy game that revolves around mechs known as “Wanzers” fighting each other, usually because of a mixture of personal and political reasons. Evolved attempts to take the game in a brand new direction while keeping the story within the same universe. Now instead of trying to plot out your turns, you are in the pilot’s seat and in the thick of the action. Turning any game involving giant machines battling each other in to a action game should feel like an evolutionary step, but Evolved did not make a huge leap forward.
