What They Say:
Check out these quotes from reviews & previews
"...MechAssault 2 is an entertaining package that's nothing to write home about without the benefit of an Xbox Live subscription. With much better single-player offerings out there in the genre (that themselves lack any multiplayer to speak of) there's every chance many people will be tempted by its multiplayer allure alone. If they do, they won't necessarily be getting the best online console multiplayer game on the market by a long way, but certainly it's the best this sub-genre has come up with to date, and on that basis deserves checking out for those that admired the original or are looking for something new to play online in these traditionally quiet early months of the year."
"Fans of the first game will probably wash over the single-player in favor of the Xbox Live experience, and if thats indeed the case, then MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf isnt a bad choice. The sheer joy of destruction, variety of mechs and plethora of game types result in a fun if slower-paced online action game. This giant robot might not save the world, but its still a pretty good pal."
"The battle armor does provide a considerable amount of protection, since it envelops you completely in its steel hide. It also features jump jets, a powerful shoulder-mounted mortar, and a respectable laser cannon. "
"While the increased competition for Xbox Live shooters makes Lone Wolf look a little more like one of the pack than its predecessor, the core action is still simple and fun."
"Day 1's take on the MechWarrior universe is a stripped down arcade affair, much like the first, favoring action and straightforward destruction over everything else. It's easy to get into and play offline and online. But like its predecessor, Lone Wolf favors online over offline play. That directly translates into a very linear, brief and rather easy single-player mode that will not satisfy kids who don't have online connections. In this regard, it's a superb rental but not a good purchase."
