Customer Reviews of Mech Assault

Good blasting fun even for the single player
I'll be the first to admit that I don't like multiplayer games. I'm more of a solitary gamer. I don't buy into Xbox Live or any online play services. That said, I have been enjoying Mech Assault tremendously. My time with the series goes back to the very first installment of Mech Warrior; oh, that was how many years ago? 8, 9? Can't remember. But Mech Assault is the best of the series, by far, and also the best of mech games I've laid my hands on. The environment is vast, the gameplay tight and FUN, and the framerate excellent. This latter point is important because it makes the game enjoyable, compared to old versions where the mech would move painfully slowly. This time around they fly and leap, and truly come to life. The graphics is first-rate. The controls are easy and Halo-like. And everyone just loves the sight and feel of megaton explosions.

Like I said, I don't play multiplayer, but every review raves about the online play. So the final verdict is, 5 stars for a single-player gaming experience, and more (you name it) for added online features.

In short, this is one game I'll play again and again, if for nothing else besides running my favorite tech around and just blasting away at everything in sight. (Disclaimer: this reviewer is a totally peace-loving American and only blasts away bad guys and bad buildings worthy of getting blasted.)

Good Game
Couldn't wait until I got Xbox Live to write this. The game and graphics are awesome. I didn't believe some of the reviews which indicated that the single player game is short. Well, it is! Thats too bad because anyone without Live who really wants a cool Mech game like this is out of luck. I finished it in a weekend. It's still fun but, at least they could have let you choose any Mech you wanted, to play from the beginning, after beating it. Thats my biggest gripe. I am getting Live next week and by what I have read it seems that that's where most of the fun is. If you don't have Live and won't have it anytime soon then I suggest renting this game first. You might just beat it and decide it's not worth keeping.

I got Live and it does make owning Mech Assault more worth the money. Multiplayer is a blst. I just hope there is a Mech Assault 2 because after replaying the single player mode I can see alot of things that could be added to make the game near perfect. Don't listen to any reviews here that totally bash this game. The graphics are outstanding for an Xbox game. There is no screeching noise when you walk. It's a BOOM, BOOM sound when you walk. And you do need to aim if you really want to bring down another Mech. If you love Mech games you need to at least rent it.

Kick ass weapons!!
This game is as good as Halo when it comes to 3D first person shooter games. I think the story is excellent, you're a part of the Wolf Dragoons mercenary regiment and you're responsible for liberating a planet against murderous religious fanatics called the Word of Blake. Just the game I need, piloting giant heavily armed machines killing murderous religious fanatics!! I won't tell you the end because I don't want to spoil it!! Get it, its greater than Final Fantasy will ever be!!
