Customer Reviews of Mechwarrior 3: Pirate's Moon

Works fine with other people!
Hasbro programmers are the worlds champs at (...) retentive, cry baby, poor losers! Their programs will cheat without shame against a human. They write a fine program but they really need psych tests before being hired. I'm sure the writers giggle all day but it's INCREDIBLY boring to restart 10-20 times to get an honest roll of the dice (OK, close at best). I'd avoid ANYTHING that's Hasbro, we don't need the BS.

You have got to be kidding me
What a waste of money. I like a challenging game, but this is rediculous. Set on the lowest difficulty, some of the missions are nearly impossible to accomplish.

The first mission of the game, you have a choice of one medium (50 tons) mech, and two lights (35 tons each) for two pilots. Then you proceed to face, not one, but two Thors, which outweigh you by 20 to 35 tons.

On the second mission, again, you are facing much heavier mechs than you have access to, and if you stray too close to the enemy base, you end up with an assault lance on your trail. Did I mention that the enemy is using pretty much all Clan mechs?

The third mission you have to protect a base. If you can get there before the enemy wipes it off the face of Vail that is. You have to run all out to TRY to get there first, and then you face off with several heavy mechs, while the enemy Ryoken is tearing things apart.

On the fourth mission, you have to protect a convoy, which generally gets destroyed before you ever get relatively close to it. Even if you get close, they have destroyed more than half of it, and you will have your hands too full to try to find out which mech is taking out the trucks. Either way, you tend to lose over, and over, and over, and over.

What it seems like is that they traded a variety of missions with having to play the same one over and over until you actually beat it. Each of the missions you have to flat out run to get where you have to be, or you will lose. No options. No choices. Had I known that it was so unballanced, I would never have wasted my money on this game.

Keep the expansions coming, guys!
This, the one and only expansion to Mechwarrior 3 rocks. You play a pilot on a remote moon, battling the 'New Belt Pirates' an unknown pirate group.

The game interface is the same one used in the original game, so it rocks. The added background story in this game makes it more fun to play that the original, as do the new 'mechs you can get. I think I play this more than the original Mechwarrior 3. Hmm....

This is an expansion, and will not play without the original game installed on your system. If you purchase the MW3 Gold edition it comes with the expansion. That would be the way to go.
