After seeing a review of Ninja Blade, I was interested in knowing who were the minds behind this game. A company called From Software were the minds, and being unfamiliar with their work, I decided to look them up. I found more titles involving ninjas such as the Tenchu series and some mech games such as Armored Core. It seemed as if I actually did know what games From Software had worked on. At least, until I saw a title that caught my eye called Metal Wolf Chaos. And it is easily the most patriotic game you've probably never played.

Why is it something you probably never played? Because unless you live in Japan or decide to look for countless hours in various store outlets or different online stores, you won't be able to find it. It's a strange thing, it's so patriotic because you fight for the United States and it's only released in Japan. Lame. Then again, there is a part in the game where you blow up an armored White House so I can see why it wouldn't get a western release.

The game revolves around a man named Michael Wilson who happens to be the President of the United States. However, Vice President Richard Hawk has his own plans of taking control of the office so he gains control of the U.S. Armed Forces to take Michael out. Oh, and there are mechs. Big ones. And you, as the president, get to shoot the hell out of everything in a giant mech, in order to get your country back under order. It's such an inane plot but you can't help but appreciate something as creative as this. What other games have you defending the freedom of your country? Call of Duty? Too depressing. Medal of Honor? Too boring. You want to save the country and you want to feel like a badass while you do so. Metal Wolf Chaos is here to fill in that hole.

Another thing I couldn't help but notice is that, for a game released only Japan, there are actually full English voiceovers. And the voiceovers are just the way I want them, so bad that it's good. Just watch the ending of this if you want to get a good idea of the brilliantly terrible dialogue. Also, watch if you want to see a giant mech surfing on space debris.



What a shame, if this was released in the U.S., you could imagine the amount of sales this would have gotten from those who love this country so much. Sure, there would have been so much controversy surrounding it but we wouldn't care. We'd be too busy saving our country in a giant mech. You know the people who would actually complain about a game like this? Terrorists. And I'd sooner be dead than be one of those.
