The game's title perhaps best describes the taste left in one's mouth after playing it than anythihng else. [Fall 2002, p.118]

The large levels are deceptive, as these do not provide freedom to explore. Even the much-maligned "Wild Metal" managed to offer some degree of exploration, and atmosphere.

If you want great arcade action with minimal thinking, then pick this game up. Because once you go Mech/Jet you never go back.

Jeu de tir bourrin bas du front avec un robot qui peut voler (si, si). C'est plutôt beau (je vous jure) et assez maniable. Il y a toutefois un problème rédhibitoire : les voix françaises, une seule voix en fait : une voix de commentateur de foot à s'arracher les cheveux. Il le fait exprès c'est pas possible.

You want a game which says exactly what it is in the title then Gunmetal is right up your alley. “Want a story? Read a book! Now, here is a mech and some missiles. Go blow stuff up!” It’s basically a game which knows exactly what it wants to do and how it wants to do it and then unapologetically does it. I love that! The combat is hectic, the controls tight, the graphics are very nice, and the overall feel is as it should be as you seamlessly transform from mech to plane and back again and blow things to smithereens. The only minor gripe is the lack of multiplayer and that there are only 14 missions, but those missions will keep you on your toes as some of them present quite a challenge. I only recently stumbled over this game, and I have to admit it has turned into a guilty pleasure. Gunmetal is nothing revolutionary (even back when it was released in 2002), but it is just good, explosive fun. Definitely recommended.

What it lacks in style or personality, Gun Metal more than makes up in gameplay and action.[Sept 2002, p.90]

The problem is that the missions you’ll have to complete consist almost entirely of defending this or that base, or playing escort to a group of ships. In other words you spend too much time defending and protecting and not enough time in one-on-one dogfights and full-on combat without worry of damaging friendly units.

The game's somewhat sticky control and straightlaced mission design keep Gun Metal's gameplay from living up to the strength of the idea.

Lack of strategy, complexity, longevity and intensive AI and multiplayer modes which are usually the foundation of true mech warfare are absent here. I would consider this more of an advanced 2nd or 3rd generation shoot’em up with extra eye candy.

SummaryGun Metal is a futuristic action-packed experience where you take control of the fully transformable prototype combat vehicle known as the Havoc Suit. Use the Havoc Suit to battle-ground-based enemies, or transform in the blink of an eye into an agile jet and take on aircraft in high-speed dogfights. Either way, get ready for mind-blowin...
