I loved the first Mech Assault. This one is basicly the same game, lit on fire, and shot at a nitro glycerine plant out of a high velocity Rail Gun thats strapped on a 3 story tall titanium alloy walking machine of death doing 90 mph thru a hospital zone. The new mechs are pretty cool, and one might ask "Hey zeek, why would I willingly jump out of one?" the awnser: to use the new battle armor. This little destruction dealer gives its bigger brothers a run for their money. With the ability to jump jet and hang on walls, and neuro-hack enemy mechs to jack'em you can't go wrong. Even on foot you can take on the enemy by planting bombs that go boom, really freaking big! And all that is just in the single player mode. I won't get into the Xbox live stuff, you'll just have to buy the game and see for yourself. The only drawback to this game? You have to stop playing it to eat, and go to the bath room, or you will die of starvation in a pool of your own filth.

Excellent Game, though a little short

Excellent graphics and great gameplay. The story was a little cheesed but it's an action game so who cares. The only thing that bugged me was the end character, he was totally unbeatable. Other than that, definitely worth the money.

Heck Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First of all I would like to point out that this is only my personal opinion and would only like to clarify that.

This game is definately in my top five favorite games of all time. If you have played a mech game before (even battle tech) you will absolutely LOVE this game. You can now get OUT of the Mech. You are no longer restricted to one mech per level.

Even if you have never played a mechwarrior game before you should definately give this a chance because it is something other than the same ol' Halo that you keep playing over and over for no other reason than to drool over it's so-so graphics and Non Existant STORYLINE.

I am here to tell you that the graphics in this game gretly exceed that of Halo 2 and rival that of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and even The Chronicles of Riddick.

Also the trick to defeating the Skeletal Mech at the end of the game is to always move left and use your jumpjets nonstop. Do not get caught in its laser beam eyes or its giant flamethrower. You also have to dodge its missiles and plasma bomb. You first have to blow his head open to reveal the power core, Nuerohack the shield and put about 10 Level 3 mortars into his head. I have beat this game numerous times on every difficulty and know for a fact that it is beatable especially on Green difficulty. If you beat the game you unlock Nemesis, as a multiplayer character.

Also, Get the Limited Edition because you get Two Extra FREE maps.

This is way better then the first i have them both and 2 is the best.Sounds and video graphics are better and the online is just wicked. You can hack other mech for your self and you dont have to use the mech theres tank and jet to use as well mech. It is a difference kind of game play then a first you have to get use to it but it for the better. This is just a good game and it not that short and bad like the other poeple say but it the best game i have ever play online. if you have xbox live it a must have. if you have a xbox it still a good game.

so it up to you to buy it but I say you will be happy if you buy it

The original Mech Assault was one of the first big hits for the XBox system. Borrowing from the old Battle Tech franchise, the original game was an excellent shoot-em-up that boasted destructable environments (ever take down a city one building at a time?) and first-rate action. Though repetitive, it was never boring, and I still play it from time to time. This sequel offers much of what made the original so much fun, and adds some nice new features that make this a slight cut above its predecessor.

For one, the designers borrowed an idea from the GTA series (or maybe from Metal Arms): Hijack an enemy's mech (or other vehicle) and use it against the opposition. Unfortunately, one can't pick just any enemy to hijack; the game's plot requires you to jack specific mechs or vehicles at certain points of the game. Granted, it's still fun to be able to sneak up on an enemy and steal his mech, but it would have been more fun to be able to do it at random (a la Metal Arms). That would have added a twist to the gameplay. Still, it's a welcome addition.

Like the original, the sequel requires you to follow a certain path: defend the Icarus, destroy enemy bases and equipment, and defend innocents from the marauding Mechs of the Word of Blake (yes, they're back). The unusual technology captured from the Word at the end of the original plays a key role in the plot, and the enemies you face are more difficult to kill as a result. Even low-level mechs are a little more challenging than before. And, there are the bosses. Mech Assault featured just one major boss, whereas Mech Assault 2 features multiple powerful bosses that are reasonably tough. I won't give away too much, but the first boss you face--a gargantuan spider-like mech--is easily one of the coolest things to grace any XBox game in a while. (To give you an idea of what it's like, think of the Scarab in Halo 2). Many of the original mechs are back, and one thing I like about the new mechs in this game is the greater combination of speed and power than before. For example: in the original, Thor mechs offered sheer destructive power, but moved so slowly that I sometimes found my thumbs aching after a showdown with multiple enemies. The new mechs offer both greater firepower and ease of movement--a definite (and welcome) plus.

While Mech Assault featured excellent graphics, with an emphasis on graphically realistic building destruction, this game offers sharper environmental design, more detailed mechs, and some genuinely awesome effects: When a mech explodes, the detonation now causes a ripple-like warp effect in the immediate area. The greater emphasis on these type of effects comes at the expense of some others: You can still destroy buildings and other structures, but the ensuing collapse is less satisfactory. Like the original, the destructable environments offer a tactical advantage--you can still drop a building on top of an unsuspecting enemy. Cutscenes and other graphical extras are well-designed and animated. It definitely showcases how much better console graphics have become in just a few short years.

Overall, this a solid sequel to the original, and is recommended.

New Perspective on an Old Game

Mechassault Lone Wolf cashes in on player's need for large scale destruction. Although the genre of giant robots is pretty overcrowded with mediocre titles as it is, Lone Wolf ushers in a worthy sequel to a good title.

The first thing I'd like to address is this whole alternative rock in video games fad. I think the musical score is fine as it is without Korn. Other titles such as Prince of Persia: Warrior Within are going along with this whole fad. I'm sure lots of people love Korn but I don't need to hear them everytime I fight a boss. Besides that, the music and sound effects as well as voice acting were well executed and presented nicely in surround sound.

Visuals in the Mechassault universe are even better this time than the original XBOX release. Mechs feature an excellent level of detail and battle damage. The terrain sells the scale of how large the mechs are and particle effects are down right amazing.
Much more dramatic this time around are the mech explosion sequences, which are far more dynamic and imaginative. Much more elaborate this time around is also the destruction of buildings. The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Players will no doubt find the damage detail and collapse animations more intricate and believable this time around.

Lone Wolf's gameplay has received a fun new innovation-love it or hate it, mech jacking. This time around players have access to "battle armor" a small mechanized suit which allows several new features. Battle armor allows players to grab onto walls, fly and of course, hack a enemy mech and eject the pilot allowing the player to take over the mech. Besides these few new features to gameplay, Lone Wolf is still the same circular running and zig zag strafing shoot 'em up that fans fell in love with the first time around. Battles get intense and players must make decisions on whether to continue firing weapons or jump jets at the sake of overheating the mech, or to withdraw and allow the enemy to funnel to you. Boss battles are never really hard until the very last boss-not only do you have to put up with the alt rock again but the battle is far tougher than any other since you will be fighting one gigantic mech with nothing but your frail little battle armor.

For fans of the series, Mechassault Lone Wolf offers plot closure to the original and a few new features with a totally revamped and improved graphics engine.

Worth the Cash

I have only played the game for an hour or so, but my first impression was a good one. It's definitely worth the money, and the sooner you buy it, the more likely you are to get the limited edition. It costs the same, but it comes with extra levels. I figure they did that to get people to buy it right after Christmas (when brand new games aren't sold as well).
I'm not a huge mech-fan; I don't usually play mech games, but this game does a really great job at mixing in a few different elements. There are quite a few different types of mechs, and you can switch between them during the mission. You can even hijack an enemy's mech! Also, the entire environment is destructible. A building in your way? Knock it down.
Overall, this game is a great game. I research my games thoroughly before buying them, and this one was a no-brainer.
