MechWarrior 4 Compilation review:
4 stars (Fun game, but a little buggy) - I've been into the mechwarrior games for years, and this compilation pack is a great deal on the MW4 series. There are some bugs in the programs, I've had a few complete system hangs in the middle of missions, and the pathfinding abilities of the other mechs on your side are really bad, they get stuck behind buildings and can even get stuck on each other in tight quarters preventing any of them from moving and forcing you to restart the mission. Despite the bugs, this is a fun, fast-paced game, and I've enoyed many hours playing it.
5 stars (Great game) - I loved Mechwarrior 2 back in the day. I decided to try this game and for the cheap price I am very happy. Make sure you have a good joystick with 6 or 8 buttons, my old 4 button didn't cut it.
5 stars (One of the best games ever, worthy of the Mechwarrior namesake) - This game is a great deal of fun. Mechwarrior 2 is my all time favorite game... Mechwarrior 3 fell well short of expectations. Then came, finally, Mechwarrior 4.
The game play is dynamic and fast paced. The weapons behave in a "realistic" manner. Damage is inflicted in a life like way also. For example, destroy a leg and the mech hobbles and can no longer go in reverse.
The graphics are a touch old, but still look great. The sounds are also great.
The different levels, recruit to veteran, offer vastly different challenges. I had to start again because the game was too difficult, recruit turned out to be just right.
Anyway, buy this game! |
