 Mech 3 not an XP or vista game May 30, 2008

if you have an older computer, a windows 98 or NT then this software might still work properly. If you have an XP machine I had difficulty running it and even keeping it going on my machine. I did not even try my vista machine. the graphic generators in the program maybe too slow to properly initialize this game. I really don't know. I do know that it has crashed a lot on my XP machine. It also needs to be run through DOS. This game would be excellent if updated for use in the more modern windows programs but the original company that put this out is gone and with no updates this is a shame.
Fun,Fun great game! June 30, 2007
Mech Warriors 3 is a game that no doubt has revolutionized the graphics industry. There is no other way to put it, the graphics are really great, surprising for an older game! The game is so fun, and I like the way you can customize the way your bot looks, moves, and fires. My friend did something that was so cool, I do it too. He took one of the heavyweights, and put on almost 100 LRM's and two gause rifles(Probably the best weapon),one on each hand. He then battled several of those tiny robots-whos name escapes me-and took em out, indian style. It was cruel, but totally awesome. I use that tactic almost every time on battle mode.
If you go to options, you can turn off the heat sensors(I hate them) and put on invincibility, which is also cool.
For kids who's parents don't like them getting violent games, probably dont want this because of how discusting it is to kill one of the people running on the ground. It reminds me of Half-life.
I think this game is worth it new or used, and recommend it to bot-lovin kids.
 One Awesome Game June 19, 2005

This game is awesome! Awesome graphics, awesome weapons, awesome customization, awesome interface, and an awesome story. You should definitely buy this, especially at only the few dollars it takes. Blowing away the armor and limbs produces suprisingly graphic effects. The campaign takes place on the ironicly named planet of Tranquil after the dropship Black Hammer and several lances of mechs are blown away by a ground based naval laser. You must travel through an enormus variaty of landscapes to meet up with your mobile field base and your three lancemates and defeat Commander Brendon Corbitt in a circle of equals. The instant action maps can give you as much of a challenge as being in a Firefly defending a base with no renforcements or MFBs against six Daishis. Or as easy as a full lance of assault mechs against an Elemental. I haven't used multiplayer yet but I've heard it's really good.
Great game September 27, 2004

The first foremost negative aspect about this game is the fact that it doesn't really have a soundtrack. It's only got two songs on the CD and this is quite a shock and disapointment since, for example, Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries had a full, awesome soundtrack. Nevertheless, the 2 songs seemlesly integrate themselves into the feeling and the repeats aren't that noticeable.
The game has a good plot, good graphics and good action. In multiplayer it's even better, but the system of finding a server could have been easier and more straight-forward. Matching is done via a Microsoft website where you can find games and chatrooms and you also need to have installed Zonematch, a small program similar to MSN Messenger. In my opinion everything should be incorporated into an in-game multiplayer interface, just like the majority of other titles out there.
You, along with other troops are sent on a mission to neutralize enemy forces occupying a planet. As you reach orbit the dropships are shot down by enemy forces. You have to fight your way through, meet up with your other lancemates that were also shot down and find a way to get off the planet alive while at the same time driving to accomplish your mission.
The game puts you in the cockpit of awesome, powerful, 80-ton humanoid warmachines with enough firepower to level a city. The array of mechs and arsenal won't disappoint. Customize your warmachine any way you want and take it to the battlefield.
I especially like the mission commentaries, video feeds and voice acting, they're very well done and really help create the overall atmosphere.
BE ADVISED! The game out of the box may have slight incompatibility issues with Windows XP especially if you have Service Pack 2 installed, so make sure you grab yourself the latest game update patch from the internet! Once patched it runs without any problems.
