Summary: My Thoughts
Comment: even though this game will never quite be able to grab the top spot of my favorive RTS game it comes
very close on many levels.

Now I like Red Altert and Red Alert 2 more than I like this game but
thats not to say that this game is bad, you have to get up preety early in the mroning to get the
drop on those 2.

In fact Mechcommander: Gold should be perfect for those people who don't want
to waste time building up a strongly fortified base and just want to go doestory stuff.

(With
glourious Special Effects and great sound)

That may not be my style but I can relate and if this
game sounds like something you might even be remotly interested in I would highly recommend it.

Summary: Mech Mech Mech, where is the Mech?
Comment: For me, MechCommander Gold is pretty good. I really like the sound effects (Autocannons, lasers
etc.) and the way the soundtrack reacts to whatever you're mechs are doing is really good. Some of
the components, like the Rail Gun and ER laser and Large-X Laser are pretty cool. Some weapons are
damn good, like PPC and Gauss Rifle. The interface for buying and repairing and the `mech bay are
pretty sucky. The campaign editor is damn hard to use, and the units you use for putting stuff on
the screen and the little map are damn annoying. The salvage option is pretty cool. but sometimes,
when you blow off a `mechleg, arm and most of the body id green and doesn't explode, you DON'T GET
THE ... MECH AS SALVAGE. The campains are really good, especially the Cermak one. I would have put
the rate at three and a half. But o the little drop-down tab where you selct the rate? It only
offers full stars, not half stars. Most of the buildings are cool and the `mechs are beatifully
animated for such small figures. They named some of the `mechs' names wrong. "Thor" should be
"Summoner", "Vulture" should be "Mad Dog", "Masakari" should be "Warhawk". And I'm probably
forgetting a few. There should be a Clan campaign.

Why ... does it take up so much memory? I don't
know if it's better than the original because I haven't played the original. Only buy this game if
you really like Battletech(Which I do) Or if you ... want some good squad action. But it's pretty
good.

Summary: In the eye of the beholder
Comment: I love this game. It has a mission editor and believe it is far richer than Mech Commander, since
it allows you to create new scenarios. But I must tell you, I am in the minority as far as Mech
Commander players go. In a way they are right. With the mission editor hackers are able to
gain access far more easily and create invincible mechs and reak all kinds of havoc. The main
problem is the creators never addressed the bugs in the game; they went straight into production of
MechCommander 2 which to me is a sin. I guess the only Gold in MCgold is in their pockets. If
these people cared at all for their audience they would have addressed some of the problems in
gold. (And they should do so in the future!) They should make some sort of patch which makes any
hacking impossible, at least to those who have the patch, and should have dealt with the jump cheat
as well. You see many people who play Mech Commander play it in leagues, just as other people play
pool, darts, bowl, etc. It is imperitive cheating is something which can be caught easily or it
destroys the fun for those people whose free time revolves around these games. All said and done
with more people are laying Mech Commander than Gold, simply because it is harder to cheat. I
prefer this game though, only wishing the creators had dealt with the bugs instead of just leaving
it there for us, imperfect, with all its flaws, and not dealing with them.
