	GameSpy: Front Mission 4 Review
		Front Mission 4 is the second game in the series to be released Stateside, and hardcore fans will perhaps appreciate that it doesn't offer too much of a departure from its antecedent.
		During the debriefing sections that bookend each mission, you're able to "buy" new abilities for your pilots, which in turn boost their capabilities in battle.
		But since the upcoming Front Mission Online promises to make good on the series' potential for this kind of thing, perhaps this version is better off without what, in all likelihood, would have felt half-assed in comparison.

	Frictionless Insight - Front Mission 4 Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Front Mission 4 really is at the pinnacle of the console turn-based strategy genre, and is a great opportunity to get your feet wet if you’ve been uncomfortable stepping away from the likes of football and racing games.
		On the darker side, while Front Mission 4 has some very attractive cut scenes, in which wanzers and mobile weapons rush across the landscape, spewing shells and hurling explosive firepower at one another, much of the tale is told in the manner of traditional console RPGs.
		Sometimes, between missions, you’ll navigate menus that take you to houses, bars or smugglers’ dens, and have four- or five-line conversations with everyone there.

	Front Mission 3
		Front Mission 3 features a rich battle system that makes the game easy to learn but hard to put down.
		The different models of Wanzers can be used "as is" or modified to change their appearance, capabilities, and equipment; since a Wanzer and its pilot are controlled as one unit in battle, the pilot's battle skills and experience come into play when pairing them off during pre-battle setup.
		While the battles are relatively short, Front Mission 3 makes up for their brevity with quantity, packing well over 100 hours of highly addictive gameplay on its one disc.

	Gaming Horizon - Reviews - Front Mission 4
		Though definitely not as popular as Final Fantasy, Square’s Front Mission series has received its fair share of attention too, and rightly so; it’s the company’s primary strategy franchise with tons of customization options, tough combat mechs, and an interesting storyline all woven together to avoid creating “just some more robot games”.
		Front Mission 4 carries on in that tradition with all the good aspects of the series returning, though significantly tweaked and refreshed for fans to enjoy.
		Since the successful Front Mission 3, we’ve been given a new method of plot progression, voice-overed characters, more detailed battlefields, and of course everyone’s favorite — a huge plethora of “wanzer” options, ranging from color-coding mechs to assembling your dream wanzer piece by piece, weapon by weapon.

	GamerFeed : Reviews : Sony : Front Mission 4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Unless you're a diehard strategy role-playing gamer, Front Mission 4 is so text-heavy and trail and error oriented that you'll spend up to an hour preparing for a battle and reading text and spend over an hour during the battle itself, just to die because you knew nothing about the battle in advance.
		Front Mission 4 is not a bad game, but it's certainly not for everyone.
		The pre-battle preparations are unmatched in Front Mission 4, and with the addition of more mech units (known as Wanzers) as you progress through the game, it can take upwards of one hour to get all of your units tweaked the way you want them.

	WGR Game Directory: Front Mission
		Much of Front Mission's fun lies in tricking out your wanzer with the latest in death-dealing hardware in between missions, so that you can maximize the level of violence during the isometric, turn-based battle sequences.
		The Front Mission demo was running on a FOMA i900 series phone, the same basic handset type that Square Enix is using to drive Before Crisis: Final Fantasy VII.
		In terms of gameplay, the mobile Front Mission seemed to be highly comparable to the original--the demo depicted a battle between two wanzers on a bridge, swapping ordinance just as they did in the old days.

		Recently, I’ve been disappointed with Square-Enix and their soul-stealing Final Fantasy XI (give me back my friends, damn it!), but Front Mission 4 is a nice surprise.
		Like the previous Front Mission games, the game is turn-based and you battle in Wanzers, which is pronounced, “Vanzers”.
		Front Mission 4 is a great title, especially with Square-Enix’s recent ventures that have been somewhat disappointing.

		The events in Front Mission 4 take place six years after the original Front Mission (the first two games in the series were not released outside of Japan).
		Humanity is coming to grips with a new age of modern warfare built around the mobile wanzers (for extra German effect, it's pronounced "vanzers").
		Nefarious global conspiracies are all well and good, but in Front Mission, the war is the thing, and at the heart of all battles are your versatile, powerful wanzers.
