Summary
A refreshing surprise.
The Good
In the past I have looked at this series many many times in the stores. but never quite picked one up. If Mech 3 is a standard then I might need to pick up some old copies of Mech 1 and 2. It is rare that I overlook a jem like this for so long. So it heighted my pleasure to play this great game. Great weapons good control ease of use, all qualities of excellent games. On an odd note I own a system that has a cd-rom and a burner, D and E respectively. When I have Civ II in drive D and Mechwarrior 3 in drive E and play mech something interesting happens. During the game it plays music from the civ game. WEIRD!!
The Bad
Too many weapons that are almost completely the same. No in game info about equipment. Teammates can walk through you (wow I must have missed that section in the manual that talks about matterless armor.) Often when refitting in basecamp teammates will get caught in with the mlb's.
The Bottom Line
Good game with a few flaws that dont take away enough to negate the fun.
