Skh: You’re the second person to say, to me, that FM3 was the better one overall. I’ll have to check it out sometime.

FM4 was indeed excellent, and provided a strong challenge. But I also felt the difficulty was uneven: battles with the European team were usually harder than the ones with the South American team, mostly because the latter had a small team of guerilleros to fight with them.

Did you ever play Front Mission 3? Its graphics may be dated, but I think it’s better than FM4, if only for its amazing two path storyline. Playing through it one time only is clearly not enough to fully appreciate the story.

Indeed, I had to have two characters with healing units after a while, since keeping everyone healthy was getting quite challenging. But I had a lot of fun with sniping and close-range fighting. The smooth animation adds to all the excitement. That and Elsa’s lovely accent. ^^;
