Reviews:

Eurogamer by Ben Carter

"Once into a mission the game plays like a cross between a tank simulator and a first person shooter. Unlike more action-oriented mecha titles such as 'Shogo' or 'Virtua! On', Mechwarrior's mechs are cumbersome beasts...As a result combat is largely decided by your choice of weapons and basic tactics, rather than reactions or clever piloting."

"The in-game graphics are pretty good - the animation on the mechs is simply superb, and there are lots of neat touches like the dust and snow kicked up by their feet..."

"Overall then Mechwarrior 4 is the best Mechwarrior game to date, although it still has some small flaws..."
