The final Armored Core series installment for the PlayStation2, Last Raven is the most intense mecha game ever, featuring a full story mode where each selected mission has an immediate impact on the ultimate story outcome.

Six months after Armored Core: Nexus ends, two powerful groups, the Alliance and the Vertex, are fighting for world dominance and victory hinges upon the "Raven" pilots. You are a Raven, an elite mecha warrior who must choose sides between the fighting powers. Ravens face the ultimate decision in the fight for survival, either to fiercely defend their chosen side or fight alone and face the wrath of all Ravens.

Developed by FromSoftware, the Armored Core series enables players to customize their Core Units with a virtually unlimited variety of options, parts and weapons. Armored Core: Last Raven continues that tradition, but with improved gameplay effects, including for the first time mechas that continue in battle even after losing an arm, leg or head.

GAMEPLAY HINTS

"Vertex; Defend Against Assault" mission: Hidden part

There are three spaces in the ceiling when you are in the sewers. Fly through them, and there is a part on one of the ledges. It looks like a little gray box. It is a Radiator CR-R92.

"Destroy Military Base" mission: Hidden part

This is one of the first three missions where you have three minutes to destroy what you can. In the middle under the crane where it looks like a construction yard, there is a green box on the second platform next to the main building. Destroy the box and pick up the part. The part is the WH0SM-SYLPH right arm part.
