    Very poor single player campaign, getting out of your mech is very gimmicky you need a battle armor to steal other mechs and when you have the mech you stole , you need the battle armor again if you want to steal another mech. the onfoot mission while trying to destroy a generator sneaking and hiding on buildings to sneak by is unsatisfying, they should have a sneaking mission similar toVery poor single player campaign, getting out of your mech is very gimmicky you need a battle armor to steal other mechs and when you have the mech you stole , you need the battle armor again if you want to steal another mech. the onfoot mission while trying to destroy a generator sneaking and hiding on buildings to sneak by is unsatisfying, they should have a sneaking mission similar to splinter cell or mgs men vs. men instead of men vs mech or tanks you have no chance of survival that way. putting the boosters on L3 was a stupid idea, how the hell you want the player to properly control the battle armor if left analog stick is for moving the mech while L3 button is for boost is very difficult you cant learn it, no matter hard you try its not workable. Very promising Preview but not actually good when you play it. its definitely one of those games that was rushed out on the market before extensive play testing.… Expand

    Honestly, the first game was better. It offered the opportunity for you to choose which mech you wanted for each mission. Weapons were more powerful, gameplay was more balanced wheras with this game, certain weapons were useless, single player mode was way too short (I beat it in 24 hours). Even in multiplayer you do not have the option to choose your mech before play or even look at Honestly, the first game was better.

Even in multiplayer you do not have the option to choose your mech before play or even look at it's stats anywhere in the game. In my opinion, the developers of this game took out some of the very best parts that made the game as good as it was to begin with. They obviously didn't play the first one before they made this one. The developers should put some serious thought into the third installment in this series which will more than likely come out for the xbox 2. I just hope they put more thought into it and make the game what it was. (FUN).… Expand

    Not as fun as the original. they introduce walking on foot as well as driving tanks and battle armor. The game just doesn't seem meant for that.......

    In an online world surrounded by countless traditional shooter games, MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf stands out as not just a great mech game, but a great shooting game. Everything here is done well and the new features are implemented brilliantly.

    MechAssault 2 struggles with its single player mode and strives with its multiplayer support to still bring you another great Mech experience.
