MW2 was a great game, Mercenaries just made it better

The Good
Mech Warrior 2 and Mercenaries defined what a good mech game really is. Newer Mech games may have better graphic but they can not touch the gameplay that was created woth this series. The Graphics were the best for 1996, not many games could top it. This was a game that would run really well on a P166, and it had full windows support, if thats a good thing. This is a game that truely made Mechs exciteing and made Activision a player in the video game market again.

The Bad
Maybe that only problem I have with this game is the control system. The keyboard isnt fast enough, so you really need a good joystick. With out that the difficulty level is great.

The Bottom Line
If you like MW2, than this game is for you. If you don't like MW2 then this game could still be for you.
