Steel Battalion for Xbox

Steel Battalion is serious fun for serious gamers. You got to want to spend the time really learning about the game play mechanics, weapons, controller, interface etc... If you are ready for such a task, you'll be having some serious fun. S.B. is a SIMULATION. Meaning that if you die, it's game over for you, and any saved game. Hardcore gamers will really appreciate all the little touches. It takes some time to be able to take in all that is happening, and multi-task, but if you read the directions, the whole thing becomes pretty easy. The controller seems well constructed, and works like a charm. I have just purchased this game on its second release. When the game first appeared it quickly sold out. (There was only limited units available) And those who purchased it found themselves selling the $200 dollar units for $300 dollars on EBAY. This second release too should be limited and you just may have some valuable merchandise on your hands if you keep your stuff in good condition. As of March 1st, 2004 you should see the second game installment: Steel Battalion: Line of Contact for XBOX live only.
