Video Game Reviews of Mech Warrior 4: Vengeance
Customer Review: this came ROCKS!
Summary: 5 Stars
walking around, knowing your in a monster robot that can crush a military tank like it's made of plastic, including awesome weapons and graphics, makes this game AWESOME! you can pilot small Mechs, such as the Shadow Cat, which aren't very powerful but are fast, or you can pilot huge, lumbering, powerful Mechs, such as the Atlas and Daishi, with awesome firepower. However, the characters in the main story ARE a little bit annoying. The main character talks like a senseless weirdo. "Please. Go ahead." "Yes, of course." Duuhhhhhhhh. Not as annoying is the computer voice that always says, "Target destroyed." You get used to him after awhile.The weapons totally rock. There's long range missiles, long tom artillery, lasers, LBX's,(which are like a series of shells), gauss rifles, ppc's, (my favorite beam weapons), which are lightning bolts that make your screen all wobbly and shaky when you get hit by them, and lots of others. one of the best primary weapons is when you combine clan machine guns and pulse lasers into one weapon.
some weapons, like the NARC beacon, flare, autocannon, flamer, and short range missile, kind of stink
well, anyway, all this to say........Mech Warrior 4 ROCKS!!!
Customer Review: Where did all the features go?
Summary: 2 Stars
Truthfully, I'd rather play Mech 2 than this one. No external views, no screenshot or movie/mission replay feature, HUD display is different than previous Mech games, and music just seemed bereft of imagination. And I have to use the spacebar quite often just to skip the horribly 'campy' dialog and transitions. I mean, there must be too many bad writers for TV that are out of work because of all these even more stupid reality shows - they end up writing this campy dialog for software games just to eat. Graphics and gameplay alone are very good, but I was disappointed to find it is missing a lot of the features that Mech 2 has - and Mech 2 is more than 8 years old...Customer Review: Totally Awesome!!!!

If you like the Mech games, and want to get one that has the best graphics, best play and awesome mechs..this is the game for you. I run it on Windows XP and it works just fine. So, just because the requirements stop at Win ME, dont pass this up, but do make sure that you have a good graphics card to enjoy them better. Also make sure that your video and sound card drivers are the MOST up to date.Customer Review: Long, Hard, Enticing Gameplay
Summary: 5 Stars
This game is BEUTIFUL! Great graphics, a long-lasting story that gets as hard as it goes. Then, you can continue the fun online with MSN Zone. Don't pass up this opportunity.Customer Review: Great Story, Excellent Graphics, So-So Interface
Summary: 5 Stars
The graphics in this game are the reason I own a computer. This game is excellent. There are times I forget that it's just data, streaming from my monitor, and not actually big robots and cars and trucks and planes....The storyline in this game was great. With real actors playing the characters, having little video clips play on your video console during the game, really gives it a 'real' feeling. You have friends, family members, and even a few bad guys sending you messages you can view. This really keeps the story interesting.
Speaking of the story....You are Prince Ian. Your family rules a planet, or ruled a planet that has been taken by another ruling family. Your family is dead, and you've come back to set things right, and to free your people.
The interface was the one thing I had a problem with on this game. The targetting system is closer to that used in Mechwarrior 2 than the one (which was excellent) in Mechwarrior 3. This made combat without a joystick very difficult, but then, as Microsoft came out with this one, maybe that was the point. They want me to buy a Sidewinder. Anyway, it was difficult, and affected the gameplay. If they combined the targetting system of MW3 with the rest of the features from MW4, I'd be in hog-heaven. Overall, this game is excellent.
So climb inside your mech for a bit of mechwarrior style vengeance! You'll feel better after you've crushed the invaders!
