Title: Average at best
Product review: I think there's so few games on the PS2 that even releases of average quality can appear at first to be high quality as you have nothing to compare them to... Ring of Red is an example of this.Sure it's pretty and has some nice ideas - but this is not a replacement for classic mech games such as Front Mission 3. There are some interesting additions such as the soldiers but very frequently missions become extremely repetitive - there isn't enough variety to keep you coming - at it's heart it's a very simplistic strategy game which drags out R..E..A...L...L...Y S....L...O...W...L...Y thanks to the 'innovative' realtime combat system (which you can't even pause if you need to go and do something!).Sure you've bought a PS2 and your desperate for something to play on it - but hold out a bit longer - there must be some good stuff on the horizon?! ;-) Musn't there?In the meanwhile get your copy of SSX and boot it back up - much better!
