Say, do you know how to do the walk?

No, sorry, this game is awful. Have you played it in the last 10 years?

Edit: just checked, was released in 2006 and has metacritic score of 74 which is far too high.

Part of the game was fine, but whoever decided to go with that for combat controls should be shot. I liked that the gameplay varied so much, but controlling your mech was a pain in the rear end. I mean its like if you took Virtual On and made the combat much slower, with less going on

WinBack: Covert Operations was originally an N64 game that was later ported to the PS2 with extra features like no Superman 64 fog and voice acting. A pretty obvious cash-in on the Metal Gear Solid craze, but instead of stealth, WinBack is a good contender for the first use of cover-based shooting we've all come to love. But as the prototype, it's very unpolished, and I won't argue with anybody who replies to this and says the game is not good. The combat is kinda of repetitive and the voice acting is cheesy as all hell, but I still like the game. More games today need action rolling out of cover.

I had this for N64, and I had no idea that the game would be so loving long. I loved the game but I remember getting pissed off at that one part on the roof where you had to roll under the lasers.

It also had a crazy story that was pretty dumb in the end.

I finally started Kings Field Ancient City and goddamn is it clunky. The fact I can't turn with the right stick is awful.

I really need to start playing this again. I really liked it, but I think I got stuck somewhere and quit playing.
