MechAssault Critic Reviews

After playing this game you’ll understand exactly why, short of a crate of opium-laced Snickers bars, nothing is more satisfying than leveling city blocks by the dozen with a 50-ton robot.

I cannot stress to how awesome this game is... It is just breath taking, and a great game to demonstrate the power of Microsoft's console, and their new online service.

The main point of MechAssault is to blow sh*t up, straightforward. So everyone who is reading this please take my advice and go pick up this classic shooter.

Control deserves special mention, as it is especially top-notch. Despite the fast-paced nature of the game, it still feels like you're controlling a hulking, four-story robot.

A work of art that surpasses any mech game that I've ever played despite the lack of customization options.

An action fan's dream game...Every night I play MechAssault and every day I'm thinking about getting home so I can get in my mech again.

Despite some gameplay options I felt were missing and a more expanded Live setup screen, MechAssault is a boatload, no pun intended to missile boat fans, of fun for both hardcore and casual mech fans.

Just pick up a copy of MechAssault, along with an Xbox Live starter kit, and the wonders of online gaming on the powerful Xbox await you.

The controls of MechAssault are its biggest asset. I could not believe how responsive the controls are and how easy they are to master.

Unlike "Steel Batalion" which could take months to learn how to play, you can learn how to play MechAssault in just a matter of minutes.

A great, easy to pick up action game that will feature numerous hours of play online.

A beautiful, addictive, mechanised feast of destruction, ideally suited to online gamers both new and old.

Delivers the best of what BattleTech's brand of giant robot combat has to offer in a highly accessible game that's especially fun when played against others online.

A blitzkrieg of metal-mauling combat and strategy, purely for stick jockeys. It’s no sim, but it’s not simple either.

It's a drastic departure from the "MechWarrior" games, but MechAssault works perfectly as a console homage to the rich BattleTech tradition.

Its FPS-like controls and gameplay mean you'll take to it easily, and the slow-moving 'mechs and long reload times add satisfying tactical elements.

MechAssault delivers and looks absolutely brilliant doing it.

Considering how good this game is, you will get your money's worth regardless if you take in online or not.

It's the online component of the game that places you down in front of your TV, and refuses to let you leave for days at a time.

The damage modeling in this game is second to none.
