    These additions are sound--they extend and expand on the original game's context in meaningful ways--though they might have given a stronger impression if Black Knight weren't a full year older than, and just as expensive as, its predecessor.

    The most troubling thing about Mechwarrior 4: Black Knight is that it's priced like a full game rather than the "add-more" expansion pack it really is.

    A great new feature is the black market...Now you can take your chances in the black market to trade some stuff you don’t want for the goodies that you do.

    It’s a very solid add-on for fans – Cyberlore did a good job of adding a nice mercenary slant to MechWarrior 4 – but it won’t convert anyone new. [Mar 2002, p.89]

    It’s quite fun being “bad” for a change. [Jan 2002, p.73]

    Black Knight adds another perspective on the series, and offers more the way of customizability and depth.
