An interesting followup/expansion to the first Armored Core, with a lot of frustrating whiffs.
Instead of an implied climb through the world leaderboards through the story missions, you get to actually fight rival AC's head on in battle. These battles are either mindlessly easy or ridiculously difficult to the point where you will run to look up cheese strats (as people did in 1997 and continue to do today).
The mission design is mostly uninspired compared to AC1 with a less mysterious story (help Sumika, who is a girl AC pilot which you know because its pink, stop the use of the evil technology thingy) and the only threatening enemy is the jobber AC "Stinger" who shows up in a few missions.
