Ever fancied rampaging down a Japanese city street in your own four-story high suit of molten-metal Armor? In Shogo: MAD, you can choose from four ultra powerful transforming Mobile Combat Armor suits, each with its own advantages and strengths. Find tons of powerups and enhancements to improve your MCA's performance. With separate arsenals for both MCA and on-foot modes, you can wield over 20 incredibly powerful weapons. Then battle more than 20 enemies who want to survive as badly as you do. State-based AI and custom scripting force you to think before you act. Fortunately, you will have some help from your friends. Allied AIs may back you up or require your protection in certain missions. Featuring a gripping story, characters you will grow to love or hate, and goal-oriented level design pull you into the experience, Shogo presents you with a truly classic, cinematic experience.

A classic, amazing Anime shooter. There are almost none these days (maybe exept Oni, which is more brawl-oriented) - very sad.
Very fun and satisfying.
However it doesnt feel like you are stomping around in a giant mech. Buildings are not destructible. The city is empty, no screaming citizens yelling "Godzilla!!"
Weapons feel good. Good story and characters. And a sarcastic and likable main character.
Id love a sequel or a remake. Or atleast another game like it.
Main problem with this game are the instant kills. But once you get a proper feel for the game it becomes less of a problem.
Looks like ****
One of my most favored games of my teenage years. Will definitely be picking up a Desura copy in the near future.
Variegated, interesting, and with its own unique animesque style.
