Received the Mech Assault limited edition pack from the US the other day and despite playing it when it first came out I never really gave it a second thought. The last couple of days I have been playing through the single player on Elite and I have to say, what a great hella fun or as normal people might say, top stuff.
Rather than having to think about the game I can sit down lob it on, crank the sub up and play something that requires very little thought yet is still a fantastic game to play. A lot of the critics said it was a boring shoot fest that basically ripped you through identically looking environments whilst holding one button. Granted it doesn't offer a great deal of variation but it is a difficult, highly enjoyable and bloody good looking game.
Anyone still play this on LIVE? Wouldn't mind having a bash on that later on.
Main point though, give it a shot, love or hate, I love it!

It's good fun. There's not many games where you can jump on and level buildings.
I'd be up for a game, probably tmw or around midnight today as I've got some film to watch and a clan match to do.

Just before I lost Live, I had a mash at this..there's a surprising number of people on it these days...
A fun shoot-y game-y thing :-)
