    This game has a poor story line to it. however, the action makes up for it.

    MechAssault is a lot of fun but it has it's draw backs. The story is rather barebones, the gameplay can become repetitive and levels lack any checkpoints. Multiplayer was a big part of this game and obviously your not gonna get much out of that nowadays other than a horde mod to play with. And one other nitpick I had with the game is the final levels in the lava area look really bad. ButMechAssault is a lot of fun but it has it's draw backs.

And one other nitpick I had with the game is the final levels in the lava area look really bad. But even with those negative aspects I'd say MechAssault is still a fun game. Piloting the mechs feels really good and blowing stuff up is always fun. It may of aged a bit but it's still worth picking up for anyone who's got an original Xbox lying around.… Expand

    Multiplayer bites. Like a rabid wolf that hasn't eaten in a week.

    The campaign could have been better. The campaing I feel should have been more about humans vs. U.F.O. instead of humans vs. humans; more like Halo.

    Found it a bit repetitive and dull sadly. Appreciate the metal soundtrack, though. And I love that when your mech bumps into buildings, it leaves a mark on the buildings. Same when you fire at them. Impressive damage detail. Puts many modern games to shame.

    A beautiful, addictive, mechanised feast of destruction, ideally suited to online gamers both new and old.

    It won't blow your mind, but it's a solid showcase for online console gaming. [Winter 2002, p.93]

    I cannot stress to how awesome this game is... It is just breath taking, and a great game to demonstrate the power of Microsoft's console, and their new online service.
