From the reviews I've read of both games, Front Mission 3 was great for its time, and then Front Mission 4 didn't really improve on that game, so it was a disappointment. Folks were expecting a dramatic change since 4 was coming out on the flashy new PS2 hardware, and this game did not deliver. But from what I understand, it's a disappointment only because in the jump to the PS2 it didn't really improve any.
Side by side, regardless of the time or platform on which they were released, they seem to be the same basic game, at least from the reviews I've read.
I'm interested in getting either 3 or 4, so my question is: is there a good reason to get the more expensive 3 (upwards of $18), or will be I just as well off getting a cheap copy of 4 for $5-9?
