AT A GLANCE

The Good: Totally customisable chromehounds. "An intense look at war from the cockpits of colossal metal vehicles."
The Bad: Hopefully it will be more than 'customize then fight'.
The Ugly: Metal, dirt and bullets. Not for delicate gamers.

 

They might not be as old school as Imperial Walkers, but it’ll take more than an X-Wing and a single rope to bring these hulking metal beasts down.

The war of the future has begun with three superpower nations fighting for world domination. Commanding giant metal war machines called “Hounds”, players must manage their tower of heavy artillery through giant war zones while engaging in cooperative squad-based tactics, and fighting intense battles against other real-time players via Xbox Live.

Players will have the ability to customize their massive mechanized Hounds with a huge array of available options to create a walking arsenal of firepower. Chromehounds offers players six different types of vehicles to choose from, each excelling in a different aspect of battle: Scout, Soldier, Sniper, Defender, Heavy Gunner and Tactics Commander.

In multiplayer combat modes players can build large platoons and take to the battlefield in squads of six for head-to-head battles with opposing squads, conquering enemy territory to advance towards world domination. Single player action is also available so players can sharpen their tactics and create a Hound that becomes their ultimate combat war vehicle.

"From Software are world leaders in delivering truly epic games with superb graphics and I think that CHROMEHOUNDS could well be their finest game to date", commented Matt Woodley, Creative Director, SEGA Europe and SEGA of America. "The scale of the world and the action within is breathtaking - I recommend playing it with the volume turned to 11 and the phone off the hook".

Jump aboard these giant metal machines and prepare for war as Chromehounds brings squad-based multiplayer mech combat exclusively to the Xbox 360.
