Ok, the word spam is probably popping up in a few minds reading this, but Phantom Crash is a great game, so I thought I'd make this topic to chat about progress in the game and stuff (believe me, it is THAT addictive). I know Gamezfreak has claimed it so I at least have 1 person to chat with over this game once he gets it. ;-)

So far I've bought myself a Ventuno mech and I have 2 Animal chips - 2 wolves, one I've named Fang, the other - Silver. :-)
I want to get round to building my own mech soon, but I can't help but spend my money on crap ! ;-)) Bought a couple of music tracks, paint jobs to use, etc.
Thing is, these things can be in a shop one day and gone the next, so I see these little bits and pieces and quickly grab them. ;-)

Anyway, back to the rumbling ! ;-)

Maybe they could offer more mech parts to buy in an online shop too which you pay for with the cash you earn in the game. :-)
Would be cool to earn money online as you play as well as offline. ;-)
I'm on day 52 now. I think you'd like my mech Gamezfreak. ;-)
This is what I basically have...
Its a Holy model with hover legs and these are its weapons (after a shed load spent on leg upgrades to cope with the weight).
Right and left arms: Pistol/HM15 (the Jango Fett effect) ;-)
Right shoulder: M-24L/4Aspide (basically a quad homing missle launcher)
Left shoulder: 65/14M-Catapult (in english - a bloody huge cannon that can take an opponent out with 1 hit if aimed well enough).

I actually entered Shinjuku last night and took out 2 people at once with the cannon as soon as I came out the door. ;-))

Those high ranking Wireheads tend to damn well back off and give me some respect now too. ;-))

The mech is called Nemesis, has the shark face paint job and a British flag sticker on the back. ;-)
Oh and the chip is a level 20 Beagle dog named Ben. ;-)

Yeah, I think the developer/publisher are talking about releasing a "Booster" disc for Phantom Crash, Allowing online play, More arenas and it'd be fun to see what other peoples mech configurations look like.

I'm on day 28 at the moment.

I sold my old mech, And brought an "Aeron" model, this oines a bit more organised, with twin machine guns and twin 4 way rocket launchers. It rocks! I hope to purchase the laser cannon soon, man this game just rocks.

If the game had destructible enviorments like mech assault, with the gameplay/style/custmmising of Phantom Crash - that would rock.

Its hasn't got many arenas Adrian, but this game pulls you in even more than Mech Assault. Really can't praise this game enough, its so addictive and your mech ends up meaning the world to you. ;-))

As for my favourite mech dealer, that has to be Ventuno. ;-)
Nice blend of power, speed and style. ;-)

This game sounds pretty cool. A bit like Gran Turismo but with Mechs :). Is the game long at all, as MechAssault is pretty sort, as I completed it today, but I did have it last Tuesday. MechAssault is amazing online I must have racked up at least 10-12 hours online so far.

Yeah I got a "First Place Sheild Prize" for beating one of the boss type people. They usually seem to pop up when you have shot down around 20 enemies. He was pretty easy to kill, but a biatch to find, ke kept on shooting me with his optic camoflague on, luckily I found him and gave him the Sparky 4 treatment.

I keep buying paintworks, its kind of an obsession, I go to the shop and buy a paintwork for no reason, I have around 11 different colours for my mech now!

I had to re-tune the body of my mech to allow me to fit my new pair of Hover legs. Hover legs rock! I swear sparky moves a bit faster now, and turning is a little easier aswell.

I'm on day 17, Been having fun rumbling. I mainly just take part in the "Class D" rumbles, for now anyway.

Just brought a new Wolf chip, Called it "Bite" (don't ask why) But you say hes an ahole? I've given him an upgrade to level 1, But the only thing he says at the moment is: -

"I think we should just aim and fire, don't you?"

lol, Hopefully he'll turn out great. In the meantime I think its time for some novelty stickers. And maybe a new Arm wep. Soon i'll have to build my own new mech, but i'll take it in stages.

Which mech company do you prefer Sav?
