Forum Overview :: Mercenaries: Playground of Destruction
 
Mechassault was Good??? by Mischief Maker 03/09/2005, 7:14am PST
Original review lost in the depths of Senior Barborito's snatch.

Off the top of my head:

- Rapid-fire auto-tracking any-range missiles are the best weapon BAR NONE.
- No mech customization
- Gauntlet-style enemy generators
- No alpha strikes and big mechs don't seem any more badass than small ones
- linear corridor levels masquerading as canyon walls
- swarms of helicopters more deadly than enemy battlemechs
- Short and horrible RAWK looping over and over during mech fights
- CGI C.O. who makes you feel like a pimply 12-year-old as she assures everyone within listening distance that you the player do indeed pork her between every mission. Sadly, any tittilation that may achieve is destroyed by the fact that her chest is so large and her waist is so thin that she crosses the line from "dream body" to "disturbing mutant freak."
+ I guess it's nice to reload you ammo midway through the mission.
- The enemy generators make that reloading a necessity.

Seriously, Armored Core Nexus is a solid 7/10 game, but that's two more points than MechAssault earns.
