Video Game Reviews of Mech Warrior 4: Mercenaries
Customer Review: Alright in this one its no so much weapons and graphics...
Summary: 5 Stars
...can you imagine being a mercenary, being able to chose what to do, i mean COME ON!!! This game is like backstabbing galore when you switch contracts with different factions, buy different mechs and weapons and hire your own pilots to be part of your lance! It's great! I highly recommend this for PC gamers, and is a must have for Mechwarrior fansCustomer Review: Very Boring
Summary: 1 Stars
This has got to be the most boring game I've ever played. All you do is shoot and shoot and shoot and shoot at a target for several minutes until it blows up. I don't mind shooters but it gets rather tedious when you have to spend so much time on just one target.Customer Review: accually im 13 exactly but...........

Customer Review: Online against others is where its at
Summary: 5 Stars
The game senerios are great training and alot of fun. But I found the most satisfaction playing online with others. Working together as a team to try and beat another group of people on a different team. Online gaming is free once you have purchased the base game. There are several organized ladder leagues that have lots of people that want to have fun too. A good example is Mechwarriorleagues if you can find it. There you can find a ton of additional maps and patches for new mech types. The game runs alot like a 1st person shooter, but you are piloting a giant robot like machine: a Mech. Because you are in a big "Mech" you don't die with 1 or 2 shots like alot of shooter games, which makes this a good LAN party game as well. Friends that have never played it before can join in and have fun without feeling that they are just another target for person that is more experienced at this game.
Customer Review: Do yourself a favor and get Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries
Summary: 2 Stars
I play the actual board game and after playing this game I am disappointed. If you are into a huge arcade slugfest with little or no realism and wizkids abomination looks then get it. It's a game all about the bigger you are and the more ballistics you have the more kills you get.
They should have kept the game as a simulator but they changed it into a jacked up 1st person/3rd person shooter because of non BattleTech players who are too confused about controls and how a 'Mech actually works. So what you get is a dumbed down game with no real BattleTech in it (aren't energy weapons the primary weapons for a Mech anyway? So why are those so week.) but something that competes with all the stupid gundam. You can't even make some of the variants for the Clan `Mechs in this game or get into actual designing!
Fan of BattleTech? Get the board game, MechWarrior 2 Mercenaries because it is the greatest game I have ever played and MechWarrior 3 if you want something pretty close to the board game. Support the Classic BattleTech community, not a mainstream Microsoft butcher. I hope the money I put forth in this game will make MechWarrior 5 right, if it ever comes out...
One final thing, the most important thing is the Clan Technological edge over the Inner Sphere. Well, that does not exist in MechWarrior 4 and ruins one of the important BattleTech aspects.
