About this product

Product Information

An offshoot of Microsoft's MechWarrior series on the PC, which in turn is based on the FASA-licensed BattleTech universe, MechAssault is an action-oriented mech combat game designed specifically for the Xbox. Rather than strap players into the cockpit for a simulation style of game, MechAssault is played from a view behind the 30-foot mechs as they lay siege to anything foolish enough to stand in their path. In total there are 12 upgradeable mechs to guide across 20 combat missions set within fully destructible environments. <br><br>As a mercenary from the Wolf Dragoon clan, players are in the dangerous position of infiltrating an enemy planet to prevent a war. Negotiations on this world are not forged with the pen but with firepower, and strategy will play an important role in the outcome of a mission. Certain mechs are more agile than others, so the environment becomes a key factor in which to choose. Objects within the scenery can also be used to an advantage. Tanks coming out of a tunnel can be neutralized by focusing firepower above it, collapsing the entrance and trapping the enemy inside. <br><br>Trees can also be set ablaze to smoke out infantry lurking behind them, and a missile to an oil refinery, fuel drum, or even a skyscraper can have a devastating impact on enemy mechs nearby. Each mission can thus be completed in several different ways since players are given the freedom to destroy anything and everything they see before them. A mech can squish soldiers underneath its massive feet, blast the glass out of windows and watch as the shards blanket the street, <br><br>The single-player game follows a campaign format complete with mission briefings and cinematic cut-scenes to further the story. Once the campaign is over, the game can still be enjoyed with some friends (or would-be enemies). Players can challenge up to three competitors on a split-screen or take the combat online via the Xbox Live broadband service. The latter option includes voice communication support and downloadable content such as maps, mechs, and more. Multiplayer games offer a selection of team-based missions as well as deadly free-for-alls.

  • A pleasant set of explosions, but not for softmodding

    A nice enough game. I look forward to getting the hang of this combat system, but I've enjoyed my preliminary play. Please note that only some discs for this game support Xbox softmodding, and the one I purchased turned out to not be one of those.

  • Old school games

    Mech Assault an old school game I loved as a teen. Original one got ring of death and had to get rid of it. Found this one on eBay at a great price. Here’s to going back to the good old days!

  • Good game..

    This game is actually pretty sweet.. Not sure how I missed it all those years ago.. Also, for those of you wanting to mod your xbox, this is the cheapest way to do it.. But beware! Don t get the platinum hits copy as it won't work for moddng..

  • Short but exciting

    I like action, scifi, and especially robot or mech games. Mechassault is a streamlined version of the Mechwarrior PCs games which are action versions of the Tactical Board Game Battletech. You cannot customize the playable mechs ingame but there are two versions of each one. Customization is one of the main draws of the board game.

  • Awesome game good price

    This is the first title I played on Xbox LIVE back in the day. You can't get on LIVE with the original Xbox anymore. But this game is still great in campagn mode and in Grinder. Also battling others locally or on linked Xboxes is so much fun!
