A Big Disappointment

For all the hype about this game I was extremely disappointed. There is no strategy or even tactics for that matter and you feel like you're playing the same thing over and over. Though the Live feature makes it a bit more interesting, even that gets old since the maps are quite compact so u can't sneak up on people.

A very nice game witha huge Flaw

I got this game thinking that it would kind of be the new halo for me. Get a few friends over and play head to head, seeing who could do the most damage. Maybe get my friend with another xbox link em' up and play with 8 people and really see the carnage fly. But NO! This game has xbox live and that's nice but I was hopeing to play with my friends with out a hassle. The biggest drag for this game is that while there are four controlers you can plug into the xbox you can only use two of them in multiplayer. I don't know this before I bought the game and if I had known I wouldn't have gotten it. UNLESS YOU HAVE MORE THAN ONE XBOX YOU CAN ONLY PLAY WITH ONE OTHER PERSON!!!! I know about xbox live but I like playing against friends more than strangers. Then theres the fact that in campain mode you don't get to play with two people (but I realize that halo may have spoiled me and it's a relitivly minor concern because multiplayer is the most important mode). Annother problem with this game is that the screens split not horizontally but vericlally giveing you the worst and most restricted view when playing against your ONE opponent. The worst part about it is that asside from those problems that I have enumerated this is a very nice game. Maybe the developers thought that there wouldn't be enough space to see very well with the screen split into four so decided to only let two people play with the screen split in half. But they shouldn't have limited it heres an idea WHY NOT LET US DECIDE WE IF WE WANT TO SPLIT THE SCREEN FOUR WAYS, IF WE DON'T LIKE IT WE WON'T PLAY THAT WAY, DON'T JUST MAKE IT SO WE CAN'T PLAY WITH FOUR PEOPLE!! As you can imagain I am very frustrated with this game, I would gladly pay an extra $20-$30 just to let me have four players THEN ATLEAST I COULD HAVE A TEAM BATTLE WITH MY FRIENDS!

A nice game with a huge flaw

That's the best way to describe this game, especially when played online via XBox Live. The graphics are great and the sound will blow you away when you are using a DD5.1 sound system. While the game is not true to previous 'Mech games (which were more of the simulation variety) MechAssault provides fast and furious gameplay.

Playing online is a breeze and a blast. It is very simple to get a game going and the ability to talk smack to someone that you are firing missles at is a treat.

If you like the idea of rumbling around in giant robots, blasting everything in your path while the ground rumbles and explosions fill your screen, this is the game for you.

mechassault live think you can beat me?!

Basically this is just one of those games that is just plain FUN! The multiplayer version with Xbox LIVE in particular. The single player 'campaign' mode is by no means a bad thing, it's just that the LIVE version is such an intense experience! After about an hour of hooking up the LIVE connection and becoming familiar with the game, I was HOOKED! If this is any sign of things to come on LIVE, then I believe we're in for some real treats! Control overall is quite easy to master (especially if you've played a good shooter like HALO). Like any game it takes a bit of time to go pro with the buttons, but this is one of those games that just about anyone can learn in a short amount of time...The graphics are very nice, but this is a game where the scenery really doesn't have time to be enjoyed because of the action. This is more applicable to LIVE play. Technically the box is capable of cranking out better graphics than this, as everyone who has played more than a couple of games will agree, but this is just one of those games where you just won't notice or care. Just as the graphics, the sound sorta takes a backseat to the fun. This is a great game to become familiar with the power of Xbox LIVE!... Thumbs up!...

nothing like the pc sim. 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.

This is definetly a rent game unless you a mech fan. all you do is blow up people and you can only use 3 weapons per mech. the controls are horrible all you can do is shoot and throw flares. wosrt of all absolutely NO customization.

Major Dissapointment for Hardcore Gamers Looking for Depth

First of all, let me say that I've never played any other Mech game, but I'm sure most are better than MechAssault. The game has some good points such as the graphics, which are very good, and the animations of the Mechs exploding and the buildings collapsing, but that's basically where the enjoyment ends. The single player is frustrating. You have to earn your mechs and you can't custimize them one bit. The best way I found to kill opposing mechs is to run around in a circle around them and keep shooting. The jump jets last too little to be effective and the online gaming is boring. You could litterally hold the trigger button and fall asleep and still have a very high chance of winning. You're initial ammo is infinite but you can pick up power ups to get stronger finite ammo. Health power ups rarely fill up your health bar the whole way and you have to find 4 or 5 to get back to full health. Basically the game is shallow and boring. Its just pretty graphics. You run and shoot. You cant custimize you cant stratigize or anything. Not to mention the people online are [bad]. If you want real strategy and real fun, pick up ghost recon or Halo and if you dont have xbox live, use XBconnect (look it up on google). It works for almost any game that has system link compatibility and its free.
