Summary:
I got this game shortly after it came out, and I was hectic about getting it. You see I like the Battletech Universe (the novels, not the board game), and I loved the first Mechwarrior (I even bought the gold version which was ok). So after seeing the screenshots of this game I was hoping to get agreat game, an dwas diapointed. Sucks that there will no be a third version...

Ok I've had it with reading reviews that say practically the same thing over and over so here is something new.

Summary:
Well first of all, I have a rather affinity towards Mech games, especially mech commander games... I guess the though of me commanding a group of 50+ Tons of mech really feeding up my otherwise meager ego... That's been told...

The game is just simply Greeeaaat!!! The Graphics are top qualities, yet not a burden on the system, the voice acting are not the best, but convincing nonetheless... The gameplay are probably the only downside in this game... It is very easy and very short (no doubt Microsoft's genius minds are at work here... easy games?? More audience... more ca-ching!!)... But really it still is a very entertaining game despite the easy game play...

An eye candy and a great multimedia experience (especially for those that have great computer specs and just want to try it's capabilities) that won't strees you out while playing, yet still enjoyable to those with less-than-ideal-computers owners (Such as me)... High entertainment value, and for some, an ideal ego feeder

Summary:
Generally, I was disappointed with this game. As a fan of MechWarriors4, I assumed MC2 would be as well crafted and smooth -- not so. I found it sluggish, the missions simplistic, and the combat sort of dumb and unrealistic. In effect I was hoping for a game that incorporated the aggressive, smart combat and graphics of Earth 2150, but remained winnable, which Earth 2150 was not -- are you listening Microsoft and SSI?

All in all a very satisfying game. I really liked Mechcommander1 and found the new one full of improvements.
