Battle Engine Aquila
Moby ID: 11291
Xbox version
Some great design and with an epic scale, but somehow unengaging.
The Good
Huge battles raging across entire islands with hundreds of tanks, aircraft and troops in the mix. A host of unlockable extras that includes some absolutely peerless concept art.
The Bad
Unfortunately the implementation doesn't rise to the quality of the concept. Somehow this game is less than the sum of its parts. Oh, and don't mention the voice-acting!
The Bottom Line
Epic in scale but perhaps an aquired taste. Big in ideas but ultimately lacking in atmosphere and variety.
