| MechWarrior
4 casts you as Ian Drusari, the nephew of a powerful duke,
who returns to his home world from the Clan Wars to find it
occupied by a rival noble family: House Steiner. You must
launch a civil war and reclaim your birthright as you command
a ragtag army of awesomely armed, 40-foot-tall, 80- ton, 90-mile-per-hour
BattleMechs across the remote battlefields of your hostile
world. —Bob Andrews, Amazon.com |

Fans of MechWarrior4:
Vengeance, and of the franchise itself, have a lot
to look forward to with the Black Knight
expansion pack. It uses the same graphics engine and requires
MechWarrior 4 to play, but it adds an entirely new
campaign and 20 new missions. Black Knight will allow
players to play the missions in any order they like, even
repeating some of them as they wish.
The new
story casts you as a Black Knight, a mercenary working for
House Steiner (the bad guys from the previous game). Your
first missions in Black Knight will be to hunt down
the characters from MechWarrior 4. The character on
the top of the fans' hit list? Annoying wiseass pilot Casey.
New to
the game will be the black market, which is an area where
you can buy or sell equipment for your Mech Lab. This gives
you an even better reason to be precise with your shooting,
as you can salvage more equipment from your adversaries. New
multiplayer modes are also available. They include Absolute
Attrition, Strongholds, Siege Assault, Giant Killers, and
Clan vs. Inner Sphere. —Andrew Bub, Amazon.com

| Based on the
BattleTech tabletop board games, MechCommander 2 is a
mission-based real-time strategy game in which you control gigantic
mechanized vehicles ('Mechs). While the focus is on strategic
combat, preparation plays an equally vital part. How you prepare
for a battle is often more important than the actual tactics
you use during a fight. Your success will depend greatly on
discovering new technology and implementing it within your Mechs.
You can be victorious with the most rudimentary strategies as
long as you've picked the proper weaponry beforehand. Between
missions you're treated to entertaining full-motion video scenes
that lead you to your next objective. |
