FRONT MISSION 2: Remake

Yet another good but flawed remake of a good but fun game. My biggest complaint with the remake is probably the music -- some tracks are good, but also some are just awful. Thankfully you can switch back to the original soundtrack. I also wish they would have done some item balancing, for instance the Donkey DX is effectively a worthless missile launcher that weighs more and yet does less damage (and has the same amount of ammo) as another weapon of the same tier (I forget the name of the alternative). Long weapons are also really horrible too -- which is true of the original game -- requiring you to cheese with grenade launchers against your own team to keep the skill up throughout the game otherwise you'll miss often and hit for minimal damage. All in all, it's great to be able to access this from Steam and modern consoles and am hoping they keep going and remake 4 and 5.

Front Mission 1st Remake set the bar quite high. But this one is particularly not good, also many bug. One thing that bugged me the most is no Ultrawide screen support, the FM1 have it and run perfectly fine. And there are no joy controller mapping consistency between FM1 and FM2, the rotate, zoom and unit select control is a mess. I have to re-map them in Steam Input but still not perfect. 3D Map movement is buggy, the screen keep rorate back into default position after battle. This is annoying and FM1 don't have this issue at all. It's like FM1 remake is the bait, all budget goes there.
