Armored Core 4 brings the series to next generation consoles along with a variety of single- and multiplayer activities. Single-players must select from six schematics available at the beginning of the game, and build their mechanical monster from the limited selection of parts. As they advance through 30 different missions, gamers can earn more "mech" blueprints and upgrades that affect the strength, defense, speed, appearance, and weight load of their creation. Certain upgrades are only available after defeating each stage on the highest level of difficulty. Online, gamers may challenge friends to competitive play or chat with other players around the world and exchange match data, emblems, and robots ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide
