| | The Xbox has quickly become a console known for great shooters, and Day 1 Studios’ first MechAssault was a great example of a game that allowed players to blow up almost everything in sight, but it lacked a good deal of flexibility. | | | Players felt too confined to their Mechs, and the game lacked a reasonable amount of dynamics that kept players hooked to the explosive gameplay. | | | The original MechAssault was a decent first effort to bring the world of BattleTech to the Xbox, and while the game did have a fairly exciting single-player story mode, the online gameplay got a tad dry after the initial buzz wore off. |
