I got this for my son fairly cheaply as its an old title and has 2 player mode. Aquilla is an aircraft rather like an insect with various air-air air-ground weapon systems (constellation Aquilla is the eagle). You fight for the good blue guys against the nasty reds (fortunately all vehicles are colour coded as you can beat up your own side). Each mission has strict objectives and typically lasts about 10 minutes. My son's 8 and loves this game, particularly in two player battle mode where we can either fight together against a common enemy or battle each other singly or fighting with entire armies. It's just difficult enough for both of us (mainly due to having to land your VTOL 'Aquilla'to recharge for flight & fight - not easy at sea with a spread out battle fleet). Despite it being total war, it has a surprisingly non-violent feel (good for youngsters) as all the vehicles can be considered robotic drones, and it's rather like shooting up models or paint ball (hence its 11+ rating I suppose). The graphics quality is more than adaquate and the double joystick controls gradually get a lot easier the more you play it. In single player mode its also good, but gets quite hard towards the middle, so hard in fact neither of us have ever managed to complete the campaign mode. Overall though, we both find the game fun and have played it for many many hours.

Often games from the PS2 and earlier eras don't live up to their nostalgia when you repurchase them on a whim, years after playing for the first time, something I've had to learn the hard way for many games, but in many ways Battle Engine Aquila defies this stereotype.While the graphics aren't excellent, even for the time it was made, and the voice acting is often hilariously abysmal, the movement and combat is fluid, the controls are solid and give the feeling of piloting a huge mech, the missions offer up a good level of difficulty, especially if you want to accomplish the secondary objectives and the maps are large and detailed. I did notice on a few occasions a pretty significant FPS drop,especially on missions that require you to destroy enemy buildings, and while the engine renders the actual destruction nicely, with large pieces of buildings coming off and collapsing when you blast away at them, it's clearly not built for the graphical intensity of this and will lag badly. That said it's more than capable of having hundreds of enemy and friendly units on screen at once without any FPS drop, and that's a more common occurrence the latter.If you played this years ago and are thinking of buying it now, do so, you wont be dissapointed, and if you've not played it before but are looking for some hidden gems of the PS2 era, you've found one.

A great game for PS2... you are in control of a futuristic robot, which can either walk around on its legs or you can transform int it's flying mode. You take part in many battles from defending and attacking to escorting. Weapons like the pulse gun and mini gun are used when on the ground and in the air you get micro missiles and again, the mini gun.
