I grew up playing FASA’s Mech Warrior on the PC. Too bad FASA went out of business and Micro$oft bought some of their games.

The only thing this game has in common with the original game is in the name and concept; as far as game play is concerned it SUCKS! Mech Assult is no where near what the original PC game was and is a total disappointment.

I have found that a lot of games that are supposed to be so great on the XBox are a disappointment when compared to the older PC and Play Station-1 games. Yes the graphics on the XBox are great but the content is lacking; too bad some of the old game programmers are not around anymore to write games for the XBox, it could be so great but…

Maker should not have put it in the "Mech" line of games, maybe a better title would be Robot Attact for Kids. This is a kiddie game. 'nuff said. Rating: 1 / 5 nothing like the pc sim.

I have seen all of these in the trailers available.<br>Lighting effects give explosions a new demension, muzzle flashes give away an enemy hiding in the alleyway... Particle effects are very well used and add to the scope of the world around you as it comes crashing down...<br>Next the replay value... Games by themselves tend to get old, AI gets repetitive, graphics can seem repetitive also... where do you get replay then? Playing with other people!!! Online play. With online death matches you can hone your skills and trim that mech into the perfict fit for your fighting style, lure an unsuspecting oponent into an alleyway and crash a building down on top of him, see someone rocketing up to a building top? wait till he gets close and destroy the building before he can land- watching him fall all the way back down ). <br>Finally the fun factor... need i say more?<br>This game gives the mechwarrior series the final thing it was lacking... ACTION. When you are in the midst of a city with huge buildings falling to pieces and attempting to get out of their way as well as fight as part of a team or a free for all against 5 or 6 other mechs... try to remain calm.<br>The third person perspective actually draws you into the game more than a first person would when you can see to scale all the dangers around you and the action turns fast paced you will feel it more than any other mechwarior to date... Enjoy ) Rating: 5 / 5 Three things concern me when it comes to buying a game, Graphics, replay value and fun factor.
I rated this game how i did because it has all three, while i know it hasn’t come out yet i am convinced of this by the research i have done.

Finally the fun factor… need i say more?

I don't buy Microsoft stuff. Rating: 1 / 5 If your Xbox has not been patched to fix a certain bug, this allows you to install Linux.
