Rating: 4/5
Armored Core 3 Portable is a port of Armored Core 3 on PS2. This game takes you into Layered, an underground city, as a Raven, a gun-for-hire Armored Core pilot. In this game, you fight the petty squabbles of 3 organisations, rebel armies and learn the tyranny of the AI, The Controller, that makes all the political and business decisions of the human race. This game of course contains Arena mode, in which you cannot progress from one rank to the next without some level of story completion. I assume this is to maintain balance, so you aren't overequipped too early on in-game. Overall, great game. 5/5.
