Mech Assault Review
Posted: Sat Aug 02, 2003 7:04 pm
First let me start out by saying that this game has some high trees to stand beside and I wasn;t quite sure what to expect when I bought this game... I was thinking it was a strategy game... When I reliazed that it was a 3rd person shooter, I thought it was very kewl...
Bad:
mechassault has no customization.... I am thoughly outraged that a game based on creating and fighting mechs took out a whole frapping half of the game! you have to go and pick up your upgrades like in wolfenstein or doom... if this sounds panzy, trust me it is... this get so repeditive escpecially because to beat other mechs you almost rely on you upgrades... this also gets very frustrating becuase you run out of the upgrade and you have to search for more upgrades...
there is no need for infantry in this game... they do no damage and you just walk over them...
The box says in multiplayer i can build a base... in multiplayer i can;t build a base why not?
The game in no sense stays true to the actual battletech universe... save for the mech names...
the vehicles and VTOLS are just annoying as hell...
Good:
Fun the blow things up... and set things on fire... and stomp little people... and cloak....
The actual battles between mechs are fun... conventional strafe and shoot doesn;t always work, thanks independent rotating torso
Nice job with the graphics
Overall: B
Gameplay is superfun but does get kinda repeditive... no cutomization features at all...
