Its absolutely brilliant if you can get used to using more than two shoulder buttons at once.
The controls are hard to use at first, but since when is piloting giant robots supposed to be easy? They're big, they're bulky, and they're awesome! Make your own Giant Robot to suit your style of play, tune it to further complement you, and pick weapons that you like (I suggest machine guns, they have a lot of ammo and do plenty of damage), and practice until you can use your AC at full efficiency.
You can customize everything about your AC. Absolutely every piece is one you can change, and if you don't like a part then you can sell it for exactly how much you paid. Make your own paint job to look exactly like you want to. Make your own symbol. Want a Tyrannosaurus Rex with a revolver, a samurai sword and fire breath painted on your AC? You can do that. Its easy to do if you learn how. This game is exactly as fun as you are willing to make it, and no less.
Heres some quick things to know, to get you started.
Get a good generator. You need energy to fly, and flying is a good way to dodge things.
You can turn quickly by "Boosting" while turning. Be careful not to overshoot your target!
Start off with simple, then graduate to control style B. Simple automatically boosts on the ground, but strafing is harder. Control Style B strafes easily, but you need to boost manually and be able to use all four shoulder buttons at once.
Think of the different levels in the emblem creation as Photoshop layers. That way it will be easier to understand.
Machine guns spew out a steady stream of damage with decent accuracy and have a large amount of ammo for their damage. Chase down your enemy while shooting two and they'll be done if they're bad against bullets. For tougher enemies have a grenade launcher on your back. Experiment with other weapons, machine guns are practical but maybe you like blades more! Pay attention to how your foes fight and change equipment to own them!
