This game is a must for the Xbox. Some people say that its not worth it or the controller is hard to get used to, oh hell dont give people that ... people!!! Its not hard to get used to at all. Most of that stuff you dont use until like the end of the game. In case of accidents, theres a fire-extinguisher, a windsheild waterer thing, an eject button and i think theres something else. I havent played it in a while but you really cant get bored with this game but you can get mad. Heres a tip if you get this game, dont buy everything you can buy. Youll waste your supply points. And dont eject for the fun of it cause youll lose combat points and once youre out of combat points, game over. This game is worth the $.... Its a very fun game and its hard on some levels but still youll love it.

Steel Battalion is truly an innovation in gaming. Not since the days of the BattleTech Centers (originally Virtual World) has a game like this existed. The controller is the bulk of the cost, and with more games "in development" using it, you will definately get more than your money's worth.

Steel Battalion itself takes time to get the hang of. It has been compared to "driving a manual transmission car...while juggling." However, the difficulty only adds to the realism. Your mech moves very realistically, with varying acceleration and even the ability to fall over if you move too quickly. The controller has an eject button, and if you don't use it, there are consequences for dying. You'll have to discover those for yourself. Once you get the hang of the game, it is very enjoyably and truly challenging.

This game is not for those looking for something to sit next to the latest madden or Tekken iteration. It is certainly not a "flawless" game in the mold of Halo or Metal Gear Solid.

The title is uniquely demanding in resources and skill, and therefore it is uniquely rewarding. I would characterize it as a cross between an arcade game and a sim-- however odd that may seem.

Don't think of it as an expensive XBOX game; think of it as an inexpensive arcade game, with a very unique control system. I love it. Steel Battalion has been providing me with the kind of gaming bliss I have not experienced since Halo. Bring on Line of Contact.
