  1. Easy to pick up, fun to play, and highly addictive anyway you cut, slice and dice it.
  2. Looks great, tactics work, easy interface and camera, and the ability to easily customize your ‘Mech load-out all add up to a solid game.
  3. An excellent and enjoyable tactical combat game for those who don't enjoy base building or resource gathering.
  4. A technically polished title which made amends for all of the flaws the original game had, yet which is still far from appealing or capable of holding gamers' attention, and I'm speaking even of the hard-core BattleTech fans.

    MechCommander 2 is just another example of what makes the BattleTech series so great. takes all the great parts of MechWarrior and throws them into a StarCraft-esque game that has explosions, death, and more. it more than deserves a place in your game library. Expand
  2. Fantastic game. Mechcommander was (is) good, and the sequel is actually better. Graphically it's everything it needs to be, gameplay-wise there's notable differences between the mechs and huge flexibility in how you approach each level and objective. Personally I'd give it an 8.5, but 9 will do. Recommended. Expand

    Great game, this is exaclty what I wanted to first game to be. Sharp, 3d graphics, great and easy to understand mech customization. Only thing I would add is a skermish mode, wich would make it very nearly 10. Expand
