pc mechwarrior > xbox variations
I loved mech 3 for computer, and although i broke my joystick shortly thereafter (mech rage) i really enjoyed the amount of control the pc game gave me. I also played the xbox verson and it cut out all the parts i found enjoyable in the pc version (locational damage, and the customization ablities (omgwtf6ppc) ), it seemed like a waterdown verson of the game for kids with short attention spans (much like what they did to raven shield). I played it all the way through, up untill the last guy, which well is "difficult" to say the least. I gues for he 16-21 agegroup who fancy themselves with madden 2004 and counter-strike this will be fine but there shoudl be an element of stratagy and planning involved, and unless the second version added that ablitiy then im going to have to give it the thumbs down.
