Great Game [Posted on 2007-01-16]
This is a great game. Some big improvements over the first mechcommander.
Seller was great. Got exactly what I wanted at the price I wanted with prompt delivery. No complaints here for sure.

Great Game, But Save Your Money... [Posted on 2007-04-22]
I know that sounds like a bad review (look at the ratings), but no one should pay for this game, simply because Microsoft and FASA Games released the COMPLETE source code in September 2006. The only thing missing is multiplayer (it had to be removed due to time/budget for security reviews). I am a programmer so this really got me excited! And here is the neat part: It comes already compiled, so you don't need C++ express or XNA SDK to play it! (You will need these things if you are going to modify the code, of course, and if you want to do anything to the included editor, you will need at least Visual Studio 2005 Standard)

Also, for those of you unfamiliar with XNA, that is the development "stuff" for the XBOX 360. Yes, with the proper tools, you can build this game as a XBOX 360 game and play it.

So, the bottom line: great game, just don't buy it from anybody since it is free on Microsoft's download page!

Careful with this game [Posted on 2007-07-14]
Although this game is a lot of fun, getting it to run is quite difficult. There is no support from microsoft and you can only relay with the information of the forums. This means each month that goes by it will become increasingly difficult to run, because of new video cards, mother board configurations and not to mention Windows Vista. So careful when you purchase it.
