Front Mission 4 PS2

FRONT MISSION 4 draws the player into a world of military strategy and political intrigue. A deep storyline unfolds as gamers command wanzer (mech unit) squads through a wide variety of action-packed missions, seeking to uncover the culprits behind a deadly attack that threatens to start a World War.

The classic FRONT MISSION series exemplifies the best of turn-based strategy games. FRONT MISSION 4 takes full advantage of the PlayStation 2 hardware, offering an enhanced battle system, outstanding new graphics and for the first time in the series, dramatic voiceovers. FRONT MISSION 4 maintains the exceptional strategic gameplay that has won acclaim from both gamers and press worldwide. As in previous games, players can fully customize their wanzers with a variety of powerful weaponry and accessories. In addition, new tactical features such as the “Link System” allow pilots to link up with fellow squad members for devastating maneuvers, adding a new dimension of strategy to the game.

Set in 2096, the game opens six years after the Second Huffman Conflict, the stage of the original FRONT MISSION game. As an unidentified group of wanzers assaults and destroys an E.C. German base, Elsa, a new recruit in the E.C.'s Durandal corps, is sent to Germany with her team to investigate. The story then turns to Darril, a U.C.S. Army sergeant in South America, whose company is sent to Venezuela in order to prevent secession. Though Darril's squad seems far more interested in slacking off than fighting a war, their plans for early retirement are put on hold after they witness a fateful plane crash in the jungle.
