I got this game because I am trying to extent the fun of playing games with Mechs or VTs (Vertical Tanks) like the original XBox game Steel Battalion. Steel Battalion was a tremendous amount of fun and it was more of a simulation than anything. MechAssault is a fun game to jump right into and see some good eye candy as you wreck havoc upon the enemy. The game is a little awkward in my opinion with the standard XBox controller, but one can easily get used to it after a few hours of play. Once again the game is a standard arcade style and some of the realism is more cartoonish than realistic. But that's my opinion. It isn't meant to be a simulation. The game is mission driven and as such may not be for someone who really just wants to play a Mech game with all the glory. With each mission comes new objectives and new weapons and Mechs. This may not keep one's attention if the desire is to play a few missions to experience the fun of the game in it's entirety. It's not like a racing game where one can just play any level and see the potential for long hours of fun... look at my review for Burnout.Read full review
A nice enough game. I look forward to getting the hang of this combat system, but I've enjoyed my preliminary play. Please note that only some discs for this game support Xbox softmodding, and the one I purchased turned out to not be one of those.

Mech Assault an old school game I loved as a teen. Original one got ring of death and had to get rid of it. Found this one on eBay at a great price. Here’s to going back to the good old days!

It's a good game, no question. It's a little different from the MechWarrior installments of the game, but that was the point. It's more "solo" playing, which is kind of ironic seeing as this was the first major game to port the now nearly indispensable XBOX LIVE experience. But as far as non-online gaming (that's me) goes, it's a solid, self-contained game that will keep folks entertained for awhile. Also, though I haven't employed this feature yet in the game, it's apparently environmentally interactive (almost like Red Faction for PS2) -- shoot the building above your enemy and watch it fall and do some major damage. That's pretty cool...if it works. But all in all, this is a good game, but I can't give it a 5 of 5 because it's just not quite there.
This game is actually pretty sweet.. Not sure how I missed it all those years ago.. Also, for those of you wanting to mod your xbox, this is the cheapest way to do it.. But beware! Don t get the platinum hits copy as it won't work for moddng..
