MechWarrior 4: Vengeance Critic Reviews

Furious battles between fifty ton robots never looked or played so good, and Mechwarrior fans will love this latest chapter.

Some of the most astounding graphics ever seen on a 3-D battlefield.

Extremely well made and easily holds its own. I encountered no major problems at all. There are tons of options, with lots of customizations, and plenty of different game types to keep your trigger finger active and your Mech tactics acute.

Of all the games set in the Battletech universe, MW4 comes the closest by far to creating an "authentic" mech experience.

Where MechWarrior 4 really shines is in combat. The fluid movements and the greater detail in the battles are almost as much fun to watch as they are to engage in.

I have been playing MW4 ever since the beta came out around a month ago, and I still don't think I will be putting it down for a while. MW 4 has everything that MW 3 failed to offer.

MechWarrior 4 has more types of BattleMechs, missions, and weapons than MechWarrior 3; the multiplayer competition is outstanding, the artificial intelligence is improved, and the graphics are generally splendid.

Shaping up to be the most fun version of Mechwarrior yet.

Although the single player campaign is a little disappointing, the multiplayer features and fabulous gameplay, combined with stunning visuals, make MechWarrior 4 nearly an instant classic.

This game gets the highest honor I can ever give a game: I'm going to keep playing it even though the review is done.

It’s beautiful, it’s challenging, and it will keep you occupied for a long, long time.

While the AI has a few problems, and there is an occasional rough spot, the finished product is one of the most complete and compelling games we've played, and easily the best MechWarrior game in the series.

The best robot game, ever... The excellent singleplayer campaign is perfectly complemented by an equally competent multiplayer game.

If you're out for a great Mech simulation with some incredible Instant Action games and an inspiring multiplayer setup, all wrapped in a beautiful 3D engine, then run, very fast, and grab a copy.

It's a fantastic introduction to the MechWarrior series for those who haven't yet discovered it, and it should have enough depth to keep veterans involved for a long time.

The single biggest change made to MechWarrior is in speed. Gone are the days of slow, plodding robots.

Hand-down the best of the MechWarrior series.

Souped up and ready to go, bloodying the noses of "Heavy Gear" and "Starsiege" en route . Once again Mechwarrior leads the way for the genre.

Simulator-style combat, scripted missions, spectacular graphics, and most of all, honkin' big robots.

For anyone who wants a mech "simulator" this is by far the best offering out there and has much to recommend it over its predecessors.
