game for Xbox 360 from Sega

Chromehounds

Chromehounds is an Xbox 360 game where most of the fun comes from the online play. In the online game first you choose which country you and your mech (robot warrior) will fight for either Tarakia, Morskoj, or Sal Kar. Then you take your mech into battle solo or with other people in your clan and fight either real people or the computer. The object of the game is to destroy all of the other team’s hounds, destroy their base or capture more command posts than the other team. When you defeat the other team you gain occupation points which help you take over enemy bases and money which allows you to buy new parts to customize you warrior.

In the offline game you learn how to use the different RT or Role types. There are six different RT’s Sniper, Scout, Soldier, Defender, and Commander. Each RT has its own specialties for example the soldier RT lets you carry heavy armor and bigger guns for close combat and the scout RT is a fast mech that lets you find out where the enemy and their base is at which gives your team an advantage.

Chromehounds has excellent graphics and some very fun game play that will keep you playing for hours trying to win World War III for you country.

Final Thoughts

It takes some time to get oriented with the game. When you're winning very fun, when losing not as fun, but that's the case most of the time with any game. It's easy to play once you get the hang of it and you can play for hours. The next Gen graphics could do better with detail and activities...the buildings blowing up and such.

About Chromehounds

Chromehounds brings intense multiplayer HOUND combat to the Xbox 360 for the first time ever.

From the cockpit of a giant metal "HOUND", you must power your tower of heavy artillery through giant war zones while backing five others on your squad and dodging the firepower
 of six other live players via Xbox Live. One team member will be elected Tactics Commander and lead the team through the fray via voice commands. You are responsible for arming and customizing your massive mechanized weapon, but overload it and you won't get very far.
