  • Summary: Control 100 ton 'Mechs while leading up to eight hired guns into the heat of battle in the quest for the all-mighty C-Bill in this latest standalone installment of the critically acclaimed MechWarrior action-simulator franchise. And this time around, honor doesn't even enter into the equation - it's all about the money. Get your fledgling mercenary company sponsored by some of most notable and notorious mercenary groups in BattleTech history and battle your way through the Inner Sphere in more than 40 new missions as you doggedly pursue more lucrative C-Bill payoffs. With more than 35 'Mechs, new weapons, and new electronic packages available for purchase, chances are you'll need every C-Bill you earn. In MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, being a hero doesn't pay, being a mercenary does - very well. [Microsoft]… Expand

    A near-perfect marriage between a furiously intense action title and a complex role-playing/simulation game. [Jan 2003, p.119]

    Mercenaries offers this -- all that makes MechWarrior great -- and then packages it into an incredibly robust, varied, distinct, and different offering that enthralls, engrosses, and begs to be played.

    The focus on cash and reputation provides a nice break from the usual fair. If you like giant walking robots , then you have to get this game.

    Not going to lie, it's straight to the point and i like the kind of non-linear game play. It gives you options and the gladiator levels are the cats pajamas. It's really simple sure, and there are some flaws, but the amount of choices they let you make are awesome, and the fact that you have to earn money and stuff to spend on weapons...i just wish the black market didn't run out of stock...… Expand

    It's a hell of a game to play online and it's free nowadays! Mechlab with tons of mechs and weapon systems, good online and a challenging campaign when you play in the Elite difficulty.… Expand

    Save your money and get Mechwarrior 2. The heat load from the energy weapons is extreamly high. One large pulse laser is all it takes to over heat a mech. The store interface doesn't alow you to preview new mech load outs or choice which one of multiple mech you want to sell. Plan on selling off your fully equipted mech when you want to get rid of the new stripped one. … Expand
