	Steel Battalion for Xbox Review - Xbox Steel Battalion Review
		Unfortunately, Steel Battalion's gameplay falls short when compared with its flashy presentation, and the result is an amazing showpiece but a less-than-stellar game.
		Instead, the proprietary Steel Battalion control panel consists of a two-piece unit that has two joysticks, a throttle, one analog thumb pad, a radio dial, some switches, more than 30 buttons (that light up), and three foot pedals.
		Steel Battalion starts out with two difficulty settings, but you'll unlock more when you complete the game on each of the lower difficulties.

	"The Next Level" Game Review - Steel Battalion
		For here, in Steel Battalion, to escape is to live, to survive is to strategize, and failure and death are not options.
		This is an imaginative fictional steel coffin designed to make one truly part of the experience of what might be in a war that will never happen.
		Steel Battalion has no tutorial and so you’re left to figure things out on your own, but at least a reason for such is given during the intro.

	Gamer's Logik 4.0 - Steel Battalion Review
		This version of Steel Battalion is sadly just a one player game, but Capcom has stated that they are working on a Live-enabled version of the game (possibly a sequel), so have no fear that your SB controller won?t ever see the light of day again after you beat this game
		Steel Battalion features excellent graphics during the actual gameplay, but the cut scenes are lacking in the visuals department and could have used some work.
		Steel Battalion supports Dolby Surround Sound 5.1 and it is a prefect game for use on a surround sound system.

	LADYDRAGON.COM - Steel Battalion
		Steel Battalion is scheduled to release in North America this winter.
		"Steel Battalion is a video game unlike any other in that the special 40-button controller really makes your feel as if you are piloting a mechanized Vertical Tank.
		Steel Battalion players operate a strategic battle mech weapon through 12 action-packed levels, fending off dozens of adversaries while attempting to diffuse a riot that has ensued on a Pacific island ruled by a military dictatorship.

	GameSpy: Steel Battalion Review
		Steel Battalion, you see, doesn't have its staggering $200 MSRP because of a gold-plated pendant or lenticular collectors' card; it comes with a three-foot-wide, minimal-assembly-required, coffee-table-commandeering "cockpit simulator" and a husky three-pedal floor panel, both manufactured by Sammy USA.
		If the mere act of reading this paragraph has left you overwhelmed, rest assured that learning to use the controller is even more so, since Steel Battalion doesn't have a genuine tutorial mission; it basically throws you ass-deep into the action and expects you to learn by doing (and dying).
		Replaying Steel Battalion's missions never feels like a chore, and the ever-present threat of death encourages you to fight wisely and carefully, as the designers intended, but getting even halfway into the game and having to start from scratch is unavoidably disheartening.

	GameSpy: Steel Battalion
		The high-priced Steel Battalion package includes a heavy 40+ button, cockpit simulator that gives players a real feel for piloting their VT into battle and on to victory.
		Designed specifically for the power of the Xbox, Steel Battalion simulates the world of hi-tech robot battles in the middle of a massive military coup.
		Steel Battalion (01/04/03) - The $200 giant-robot game with the three-foot-wide "cockpit simulator" is the craziest and coolest thing a major video game company has ever done.

	GamingWorld X - Steel Armor for Steel Battalion
		Masaya’s "Steel Armor" is constructed of an adjustable steel frame and controller/pedal decks with a "fiber reinforced plastic" bucket seat.
		Though the cockpit is designed for Steel Battalion, the controller deck plate is removable, allowing Steel Armor to also house a steering wheel and pedals for a racing game.
		Steel Armor will be available in early March, following the Xbox release of Steel Battalion: Line of Contact on February 26.

	G4 - Feature - 'Steel Battalion' (Xbox) Review
		From the elaborate startup sequence that must be performed at the beginning of every mission to the grainy and gritty look of the battlefield visuals, every element of "Steel Battalion's" design seems placed there to help pull you into the illusion of being locked inside a giant walking tank.
		"Steel Battalion" can be unforgiving at times, and is clearly aimed at the hard-core mech jockey in many ways.
		Casual gamers or those on a limited budget should make sure they really want to take the plunge with "Steel Battalion." The title is accessible to just about anyone, but be sure to try before you buy.

	Steel Battalion Interview 1UP - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		This Thursday, Capcom will reward fans for their dutiful service by releasing Steel Battalion: Line of Contact, an expansion to the original that allows five-on-five multiplayer battles via Xbox Live.
		To celebrate the launch, we talked with Atsushi Inaba, producer of both Steel Battalion titles, to discuss what he thinks of Line of Contact and how he sees things progressing in the future.
		Steel Battalion is a very serious, realistic, "military" kind of game -- maybe a "super robot" Mazinger Z-style would be cool.

	CNN.com - 'Steel Battalion' puts gamers in the cockpit - Dec. 11, 2002
		The 40-button "Steel Battalion" controller is designed to immerse the player in futuristic warfare.
		Dan "Shoe" Hsu, editor in chief of Electronic Gaming Monthly and a regular on our segment, brought the game controller for "Steel Battalion" to our set and said he was blown away by its size.
		Shoe said "Steel Battalion's" gaming hardware is so realistic that if the opposition fires a rocket that splatters mud on your screen, there's a button you can press "to turn on your windshield wipers to wipe it away."

	IGN: Steel Battalion Preview
		June 12, 2002 - Steel Battalion, called Tekki in Japan, is a single-player, first-person perspective mech battle game in which players stomp around in huge robotic mechs, called VTs (vertical tanks) and blast their way through 12 sections and more than 25 missions.
		But Steel Battalion is one of those rare instances when the controller, not the game, is the big story.
		Due this winter on Xbox, Steel Battalions is also bundled with a 40-button simulation controller console that's about 2 feet across, with two control sticks, three foot pedals and more.

	GameSpy.com - E3 2002 Coverage
		At its heart, Steel Battalion is a basically just a Mech game, although leaving it at that is like saying the Titanic is just a boat, or that the Five-Dollar Shake at JackRabbit Slim's is just milk and ice cream.
		Steel Battalion is shaping up to be the end-all, be-all Mech simulation game, on any platform.
		Steel Battalion will ship with 20 missions on 12 different levels, and although the final price has yet to be determined, you can probably expect to pay about $150 to $300 for this awesome-looking game/controller combo.

	Steel Battalion (Xbox) Reviews. Xbox Games Reviews by CNET.
		Most players who are willing to shell out $199 for a game with only around 10 unique missions will probably enjoy the extremes that the game goes to, but at times it almost feels like portions of the game were designed specifically to annoy.
		While the models themselves aren't very impressive on their own, Steel Battalion makes excellent use of filters, shaders, and plenty of other visual trickery that makes just about everything in Steel Battalion look absolutely amazing.
		Nevertheless, the best thing Steel Battalion has going for it is its incredible presentation, and the game's sound effects play a large role in it.

	Steel Battalion: Line of Contact 1UP - Find Articles
		The sequel, Steel Battalion: Line of Contact, will be available for $50 everywhere, and in conjunction with this launch, Capcom will be re-releasing the original Steel Battalion with controller, a game whose limited production ran guaranteed it a healthy career on eBay for months afterward, for $200.
		This very fact spells good news for players itching to circle-strafe with Battalion players from across the globe -- until reality checks you at the language barrier, that is. For a game that relies so critically on real-time communications, not being able to call for back-up can make for frustrating sessions.
		Line of Contact is Steel Battalion at its most ominous and inaccessible—and for fans, this is a good thing.

	G4 - Feature - 'Steel Battalion' Game Controller at E3 2002
		"Steel Battalion," the game, is a hyperrealistic-looking mech game -- first-person view, lots of crosshairs and mini windows, and different military personnel shouting orders in your ear.
		The "Steel Battalion" controller is meant to work with the "Steel Battalion" games, and perhaps in the future, other games like it.
		It's definitely one of the most elaborate controllers we've seen on the market, but at $150 to $300 -- the final price has yet to be set -- it's also one of the most expensive.

		In Steel Battalion, a VT that ran out of fuel was left immobile; in LoC, a VT running on empty can't shift into the fastest gear or execute the side-strafe maneuver.
		A lack of Link would hardly be a deal-breaker -- I know exactly one other person in the whole of north-state California who owns Battalion -- but it'd be cool to know that, with some effort, you could throw a mamma-jamma of a LAN party.
		Presuming the many small- and medium-sized quirks of the beta version are patched up, Steel Battalion: Line of Contact will provide arguably the best gaming experience you can have with Xbox Live.
