Truely one of the best 'Mech shooters ever to have been created, no other modern-day game can compare to this classic!
This game has been in my collection since 1996, I have never gotten tired of it. Any fan of the 'Mech genre will fall victim to this adictive game. I love this game mostly for the feel of greed, choice of path, money, total power, and the countless modding oppertunites that await!
You can choose to play the campaign as your standard merc soldier, with no responibility but with no chioces, or be your own boss and call the shots; choose extra mechwarriors hire, buy and sell weapons and mechs, and choose the contracts you sign.
Weather you are a pro or not, the game is completely adjustable for the difficulty that is right for you.
If you are a modder like me, get your hands on a hex editor and start having some REAL fun! Have as much money as you want, jump from level to level, overload your 'Mech with illegal weapons like nukes, rearange the level enviorments, get a 'Mech you normaly wouldn't, do whatever you want!
You will love this game; modder, player, campaign, online, I guarantee it.
You can know all there is to this game in a month, and 12 years later, it can still surprise you.
