It was an arcade game, with BattleTech theming and aesthetics, deisgned to show off Xbox live. Yeah, it definitely isn't a very lore heavy game.

MA 2 especially felt like a super hero robot saga where a guy in battle armor can kill a 300 ton twin fusion engine super behemoth of an atlas in a 4 minute fight without even breaking a sweat with a medium laser that might as well be a Gatling gun. I think my big issue with MA is it basically takes battletrch and produces Gundam.and not even the good gundams it goes right for the cheesiest ones that the original Gundam series creator called the 'enemy of Gundam'. The ones I would still play aren't around anymore and they were more like multiplayer Sim pits like the original battlezone or more specifically their later knockoffs. But I stopped playing arcade games around 18. Sometimes I feel like playing a pick-up and play action game, and sometimes I feel like diving more deeper into a tactical/planning experience.įair. Even when it comes to myself, sometimes it just comes down to mood. It just all depends on what you enjoy in your gaming. You can be an adult and just prefer the more instant gratification of action games over the more depth of a tactical experience. It is just a different genre that scratches a different itch. If MechWarrior games tend to be more like Gran Turismo or Forza, MechAssault games are more like Daytona Racing or Cruis'n USA. I think of it less as for kids, and more as arcade action over tactics. And it is best played with a controller, has aim assist, etc.

You can run in a circle with your left stick and your torso will face perfect north the whole time until you move the right stick. … Think MechWarrior for kids, minus the color pallette.
