From the Manufacturer
Silent Line - Armored Core continues where Armored Core 3 left off--a future Earth that has seen the collapse of the machine-controlled society and the return of humans to the surface of the planet. Exploring the terrain has uncovered a previously unknown mega-city that is well protected from scouting incursions. All attempts at penetrating the border have been met with destruction--the line literally goes silent. Players once again become "Ravens," mercenaries hired by the government to break through the silent line and discover the truth behind the enigma.

Reinvent your armored core with more customizable features and over 200 new parts, this is the largest Armored Core expansion ever with literally billions of possible configurations.

New destructible weapons: take the tactical advantage by taking out your enemy’s weapon sytems.

Adaptive A.I. arena: this innovative new feature allows you to design the artificial intelligence for your Armored Cores and create a custom arena.

For those of you who love the Armored Core games, this is the best game out so far yet. Its way better than Armored Core 3. this game has new arena opponents to battle as well as new battle grounds to choose from. The AC garage is better that the origional AC Garage. It has more weapons and equipment to mount onto your AC and the paint shop gives a new feature, such as giving your AC camoflauge and gives you the option of using a first-person view mode. They also have new emblems to chose from. If you loved playing Armored Core 3, then you have to get this game. Trust me, it's worth it

 A Fun and Frustrating Game, November 18, 2003

I was really looking forward to owning Silent Line: Armored Core but was a little let down after playing through the first couple of missions.

If you're the type who likes big bad mechs with plenty of customization options, this may game will be of interest to you. If you only have a passing interest in this genre (as I do) then this game may frustrate you too much to enjoy.

Several of the missions are EXTREMELY difficult and MUCH practice is needed which often involves playing the same mission over and over.

The graphics are ok as is the sound but the gameplay is a little on the clumsy side.

As I hinted at above, this game's real strong point is in the customization options. It's really alot of fun putting together you mech from a large variety of parts including arms, legs, heads, cores, weapons, back units, radiators, boosters, etc... Then of course you have to choose on a color scheme which is also quite fun.

All in all this game is alright but I wouldn't go forking out the cash for this title if you're not a big fan of big robots.
