Video Game Reviews of Mech Commander 2
Customer Review: Junk
Summary: 1 Stars
Installed ok, but wouldn't play. Probably something to do with MS copy protection. You can bet I won't buy anymore games from MS!Customer Review: SafeDisc Makes Mech Commander Safe-- from the Player!
Summary: 1 Stars
I would like to be able to write a review for Mech Commander 2, but I am unable to play this game on any computer in my house. It seems that Microsoft has chosen to add a copy-protect program-- "SafeDisc"-- to render the CD-ROM incompatible with every single drive I have. A readme file included with Mech Commander warns the user of this problem, when it is too late.Unfortunately, Microsoft neither includes a warning on the box, nor posts a list of incompatible drives on the Web-- as of this writing. Those who have not yet purchased Mech Commander 2 should be aware that, among many other drives, the CD-ROM fails with the following: Sony CDU5211, Sony CDU77E, Acer CD-624a, Memorex CD-RW2224, Plextor CD-ROM PX-32TS (SCSI), Sanyo CRD-256P, and the Yamaha 2216E, 4416SX, and CDR6416S-VK. The full list is probably much longer. Microsoft does indicate that the Sony CDU77E should work if it is configured as a master drive, but all of the others listed are right out.
I am personally going to contact Mircosoft about getting a replacement disc. I suspect a patch will not arrive, since this is a hardware issue, and Microsoft obviously will not do anything to override a system they just spent money to install and distribute. It may behoove the reader to write Microsoft for a full list of incompatible drives.
Customer Review: MS does it again!

I've always felt that if you want it done right get it done by Microsoft. They have once again proved it. Smooth flowing anf glitcj free. The best yet.Customer Review: A possible "Warning"
Summary: 2 Stars
Seems like all the reviews for this game are good, but a word of caution. microsoft has come up with a new "advancement" in CD security, "SafeDisc". This came make MechCommander 2 unusable by many types of CD drives. They list some in the readme file... but by then you have already bought it and are out the cash. And the readme list is also incomplete. I hope microsoft plans on patching this soon otherwise I have a pretty nifty coaster for my drink. Wish I could play this damnable game and give it another good review, thanks a bunch billy boy.Customer Review: It's Okay, But Just Okay

Let's just put it this way, Mech Warrior 4 it's not. Microsoft needs to continue with the story they began in Mech 4.
