Continue to Full Review   Overall   Overall, Chromehounds is a good, solid mech title. Its story mode is interesting, and lends a helping hand to the gamer if they want to take the fight online. Playing the game on your own is fun, but transferring the experience onto Xbox Live is quite brilliant. Leading the war effort with real people is an experience that every Xbox Live gamer should taste, as it really proves its merit when compared to story mode. Visually, Chromehounds isn’t great, but it does its best to provide a good mix of expansive environments and next-gen quality visuals.   Sweet to the Core   Freedom. Expansive enviroments. You can go anywhere you want.   Amazing Online. What a difference Live makes. Brilliant against other people.   Going Bad   Slow controls. Slow reactions cause frustration, but don't detract from the overall experience   Sticky Surroundings. Annoying when mech becomes stuck to interactive objects.   Rotten to the Core   Next-gen. Visuals just aren't polished enough   The Core Score Overall 7 Fun 7 Gameplay 8 Graphics 7 Audio 7 Replay 8     Kid Safe Score      5  Questionable    Explosions, but no real gore or obscene violence. Safe for most people.   How we score games
