MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat

The Good
I was never a big fan of the original Mechwarrior game. That said, I really tried to go into this game with a clear head.
This was one of the best gaming investments I ever made! This game is full of action, cool music and sounds-----and you get to pilot enormous Mechs! The broad array of terrain-types and combat scenarios will give you many hours of slammin'-jammin' gaming goodness. If you can find this game, buy it!

The Bad
Pretty much, nothing-----a couple of times, it crashed back to my desktop (extremely rare). Other than that, it's great!

The Bottom Line
Mechwarrior 2 is an action-filled game offering the player opportunies to pilot various Mechs in numerous combat scenarios.

The Good
This is pretty much a re-tread on the earlier MechWarrior game design-wise, with some upgrading of the universe and a mojor graphics overhaul. All the joys of the earlier games are here as well.

Multi-player action is a welcome addition, but really only if you are on a LAN.

**The Bad**
Of course, many of the same flaws of the earlier design still remain, such as the ability to instantly destroy an enemy by aiming a PPC at his head and firing (the same can happen to you, making it even less fun).

**The Bottom Line**
Another game lots of people love, but I was not enamored with. I prefer MechWarrior 3.
