Looks like an inferior knockoff of Robotech: Battlecry[en.wikipedia.org].

I played this a bit waaaay back on Gametap. I remember it being pretty good actually. I'll have to pick this up sometime.

Gun Metal actually came out a few months before Robotech Battlecry IIRC.

Robotech was not very fun to me by comparison. I had both of the games from OXM's mag

Still got it for my XBox... Still got my Xbox plugged on my 48" HD TV... Still playing it once or twice per year.
Note that I got around 200 games on console if I include Xbox, PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP and Gameboy (old original). Over 200 games on my Steam account alone, not counting the boxed games. Even with all those game I finished close to 150 of them, Gun Metal NOT being on of the finished ones. SImply put, never had the touch to do the mission as good and as fast as required. Too much of a kamikaze runner. XD

Nostalgia is filling the room. :P

But let's be realistic. I won't buy it on Steam since I still got it and my Xbox (still working like a charm). For those who don't mind the graphics and want a good arcade-like game where you control a chubby (movement-like) but still great mecha which can transphorm into a jet, this game might be up to bring you hours of fun.

I wish someone would port Phantom Crash.

THIS!!! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS!!!! They came out with another game in the series. S.L.A.I., I think it was called. PS2 only. I hated the game due to the fact the PS2 controller, in my opinion, was a horrible device designed by insidious people that had some sort of vendetta against people with large hands.

Its a DX8 game, but you do not want to play this on a Geforce3\4\R8500 unless you like massive stuttering. I can't imagine how bad\unplayable the xbox version was, with the weak celeron CPU+geforce3 combo.

no, it ran perfectly on xbox.

Yeah, I remember playing this and then Murakumo to decide which to buy. I bought both and regretted one. ;)

Yeah, it's too bad that Robotech has sole ownership of the 'transformable war robot' trope, otherwise we would have hundreds, if not thousands of individual creative interpretations to choose from, across animation, film, literature and games.

is this ever going to be patched? I use a 360 wireless.

I highly doubt it. The game was released for the ORIGINAL Xbox. If it hasn't been patched by now, then it probably never will. You can look around for community patches, but from what I remember of the game it wasn't really good enough to warrant a diehard community and post-support patches.
