Video Game Reviews of Mech Warrior 4: Mercenaries
Customer Review: Great game but could be better
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the game and I like Mech warrior, I wish that I could have the streaming video of Vengence. Also if you destroy the enamy mechs legs it go supernova instead of just falling down. I also don't like the over symplfied mechlab.Customer Review: mech warrior 4: mercenaries

MW4 is the best game i've played with-in a period of 3 years. I went to the gateway store and saw it on a computer, so i started to play. There is ONLY, and i mean only, one bad thing about MW4...It takes a while to figure out the controls.Customer Review: a tweeked sequel to a very good mech simulator
Summary: 4 Stars
I finally broke down and purchased MW4:M now that it was $... US. Its just as good as the original MW4, with a few mostly beneficial changes. The ability to compete in in-game tourneys on solaris 7, and the lack of the mini-movies when you get a status report between missions (seemed to slow down menu functions a bit). On the bad side, my rudder controls on my TopGun Afterburner joystick don't seem to work now (they did in MW4). Minor complaint, and this may have a workaround.
otherwise, its good to have a joystick with plenty of buttons for the game, and any modern computer should be able to run it at full resolution/ eye candy on.

I myself have been a diehard Mechwarrior fan all my life and have all of the Mw games (with the exception of pirate moon).I enjoyed the double lance action but In my opinion it was it bit overated because whenever your lancematescame under heavyfire they would get "confused" and fire at a FLEA with no arms instead of the Templar blasting its rear and sometimes (very rarely) your lance would fire at you. I also cannot stress that microsoft should get a new terrain engine to replace those trees and "rocks". Other than the terrain I think this game is good and the fact that I can tick off the Steiners really rocks.
And I would just like all players to know 7 key things
1. If you want to salvage go for the head it the easiet way to disable a mech and it to your repetoire.
2.Repairing takes time so try to keep a few mechs handy so you do not have to miss out on that killer mission just because your WOLFHOUND is damaged.
3. Watch where you step because ther could be mines(I know your out there!) and you set off trigger points for ambushes and if you stay behind the trigger lines and you see the enemy you can destroy them without return fire.
4. If your a novice or having a hard time with mission just equip you mech with all ER Large lasers and plenty of heart sinks (Double Heartsinks if you can) and you watch your enemmies turn to dust. Note: Only do this as a last resort because it takes all the fun out off the gamme to know the AI weakness and it takes a degree of firing and pacing to make this technique work.
5. Solaris 7 is a great way to get extra cash but, you have to work for every c-bill of it. And if you want to win take a HELLHOUND into the medium class if you can manage it.
6.One glitch that was very annoying was if you put an ULTRA CLASS AUTOCANNON20onyour mech in battle it would show up as a 10 instead of a 20!
7. When picking you lance pick someone with high blindfighting because all other skill will go up to 90or even 100.
Customer Review: Great Game
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the first Mechwarrior game I have ever bought or played. I normally play FPSs, RPGs, and Strategy games.This game impressed me with how easy it is to control and how much fun it is to fight in large battles with other mechs. The basic premise is that you are a mercenary who takes various jobs for different employers. You command a group of mercs who fight alongside you in huge battle robots(mechs) against tanks, turrets, and enemy mechs.
There is a wide variety of missions: you defend bases, destroy bases, escort important people, and somtimes recon enemy installations. But the best part is Solaris VII. You fight in your mech against other mechs, but it is in a colloseum much like the movie Gladiator. You are alone against 3-12 other mechs and it is survival of the fittest. They could make an entire game out of just that part if they wanted to.
I recommend this game to anyone who like computer games, and likes tense action filled battles. You can play using many different strategies, which gives the game alot of replay value.
Hope you enjoy, I had alot of fun with this game.
