Good game but it could be better...
Graphics: Better than the first game's graphics but not by much. The biggest thing that has improved is the lighting.
Gameplay: Very fun! Good story (or at least I thought.) Good multiplayer but I don't like how each map has its own group of mechs. You should be able to choose your own for each game you play. I do like the battle armor idea where yo can hi-jack mechs.
Value: I certainly was not bored after my first round in the game.
Sound: Not bad. The VA was ok but I've heard worse. I do like major Natalia much better than before.
This game is definately worth your money so get out there and buy it. This is one of my favorite games and it deserves a higher rating than what it got.
