So, hey, um, guys
Is it ok if I preform a little bit of:

Cuz I got a gud game to talk about

Zoids: Battle Legends is a mech fighter which pits two zoids (Four if your playing in Arcade Mode, or a whole fuckton in Story Mode) against each other in a fight to death. The selection of Zoids ranges from a Robot Turtle to Mecha Godzilla. You can also customize these Zoids in Arcade Mode (And you can use your customized Zoids in VS)
Now, this is one of my favorite games, ever, but I will admit there are criticisms to be leveled at it. The camera isn't always too helpful (Although I really only found it a problem on one map), the bosses in the Arcade mode are shit (Looking at you, scorpion thing, I forget it's name), and the controls take some getting used to)
But I'll be dammed if it isn't fun as hell. Each Zoid has it's own unique playstyle, ranging from the Melee-Oriented Liger Zero, to the Long range Gun Sniper (Who is the only reason I would ever play Metropolitan Area, the map I was talking about earlier), and their all fun to use and play around with. You can lock on to opponents with the R Trigger, and unlock with the L Trigger. Combat consists of using Lasers, Missles, and comically large Gatling Guns (Referring to the one you can place on the Command Wolf). Oh, and Melee Combat, which is done by repeatedly pressing X. It's faster than most Mech Shooters (From my limited experience with them) and I find it quite fun. You have plenty of options available to you, including a special ability activated using Z which is bodaciously called "Option" and you also have dodging.
Graphically, the Zoids look great, and everything else looks pretty mediocre. Audio wise, the soundtrack is great (With one song being particularly memorable), but the voice acting falls flat because all the characters only have a few lines of dialog they spout during combat or when they win.
Now, I'll go on record and say this. This game might actually be shit, and it may be that because I kinda grew up with this game, I'm blinded by nostalgia. There are a lot of critcisms that can be thrown at it, so, if you really want to know if this a hidden gem, just, go play it. I love it, maybe you will, or maybe I'm a nostalgia blinded fuck who clings to this game like it was his Girlfriend. Go fucking play it.
