A solid game to fulfill your mechanical blood lust.

This is simply a solid game. No fancy bells and whistles, no requirements to buy new hardware to play it, no need to spend HOURS on boring tutorials... you pick it up and play it. While thew arcade nature might not appeal to everyone, I like the somewhat lighter approach as the game's accessibility has leap upwards and the speed of the action has picked up as a result. This is still a thinking action game with a methodical, deliberate pace, but it never feels 'sluggish' per se.

Multiplayer is pretty inconsequential. The 'instant action' mode would be fun but is hampered by awful menus with terrible programming, forcing you to repeatedly set things over and over until you get what you want. The campaign is the meat and potatoes and certainly rocks. Building your mercenary company from the ground up is quite satisfying and the arena is a fun distraction.

If you can find a copy, recommended. It's a good many hours of simply solid mech-smashing action.
