Video Game Reviews of Mech Warrior 4: Mercenaries
Customer Review: Great, Great, Great.....
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best Mech war game I have played, so far. It has great graphics, game play and easy to use controls. I love making my mechs and then testing them on the Wave of a Mech of your choice. I will be looking for other Mech 4 games, or Mech 5.Customer Review: Sim-Lite, Alot of fun for the money
Summary: 5 Stars
If you're a PC gamer (i.e. more avanced than the average console player) you'd be hard pressed to find a better action/sim game for the cash. The thing to remember about Mechwarrior is that it is sim-lite. Yeah, there are some controls to memorize, but unlike, say Falcon 4.0, you won't completley forget how to play if life keeps you away from the computer for more than 2 weeks. The controls make sense and give you just enough immersion to make you feel like you're actually piloting a 80-ton robot.
Your mechs are completley customizable (which is also the case in Mechwarrior 4 and the expansion) which is a great way to allow for player expression and to tailor the game to the way YOU want to play. Like sniping? Add long-range missiles and extended range PPC cannons. Like dirty fighting up close? Throw on some autocannons and extra armor.
Your enemies are can be pretty tough if you're a newbie, but fear not- the difficulty level is customizable. Your lance-mates also follow orders much better in this game, for some reason. Although their behavior will occasionally have you scratching your head, if you know what to expect you can command them to victory almost every time.
The graphics are great, but not bleeding edge by any means. While the environments aren't always superb, the missle trails, beam weapons, the way mechs react to damage, and the mechs themselves all look fantastic and really add to the immersion. This game runs at a high framerate on a mid-range system, which usually is a welcome trade off for eye-candy. Mechs move fluidly, and massive battles never bog your system down.
If you've never played a Mechwarrior game before, I recommend Mechwarrior 4: Vengance, especially if you can get it for the same price. MW4:Vengance will give you a good, solid intro to the mechs, weapons, leading lancemates and combat skillz.
Of course if you've played Mechwarrior 2, 3 or 4 before- what are you waiting for, quit reading this and buy it now!

This is the best game I have ever played! It sure beats Mechwarrior 4 Vengence. The graphics are awesome. When another mech's arm or leg is blown off, you actually see that part missing. What also helps is the invincibility and no heat opitions you can use. The variaty of mechs is huge(I prefer the Fafnir for its ballistic capabilities, and the Sunder for its possible missile and beam weapons). What's also cool is the Free Market. In Mechwarrior 4 Vengence, you can only salvage, now you earn C-Bills(cash) to buy weapons, teamates and best of all Mechs of the Free Market. Another cool part is the Solaris VII arenas, you can make major C-Bills there.(Not to mention if you get to a certain point, the news area will talk about a fan club in honor of you!) Another thing is that you can choose from three diffrent endings, two ending with Steiner and one with Davion. This game is the BEST!
