We ordered a new DVD through Amazon via Sail On. They sent us a used DVD (no packaging), which did not work. After stringing us along, we returned the DVD and were promised a replacement or refund. Needless to say, they have avoided our e-mails since. I would recommend NOT dealing with Sail On Software.

This is the game that started it all...

This game, not the original 'Mechwarrior', which was actually Battletech 3, is the game that really got the mechwarrior ball rolling. With excellent 3D graphics for the time, it was a dream come true. It even had a decent storyline. Nowadays, if you have an older system, grab a copy of it and play it. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Otherwise, get a copy of Mechwarrior 4.

A True Classic

I was in gradeschool when this game was bought for me. I'm 23 now, and have probably not enjoyed another game as much since.

Don't expect flashy graphics, or 7.1 surround sound, but this game was a marvel in its time, and opened up a whole new genre to video gamers everywhere.

This game requires a level of skill that is generally left out of games these days, and also requires you to think about designing your 'mech' before going into battle, with a level of detail that I haven't seen since. But don't worry, micromanagement is not a bore, and you can hop on the battle field right away and get to blowing things up.

This is, without a doubt, on my top 5 games of all time. It is just a shame that Activision has not kept up with it.

a bit short but..

It's nostalgia time. This game is very old, and probably looks like ... now, but I would have to say it's probably my favorite game of all time. It's the one that started the "mech" sim genre. Without it, there would be no Heavy Gear series, no Earth/Star Siege series (and consequently no Tribes series). It's one of the reasons I bought a PC.

Good game, worth to play.

The game is cool but the 3-D accelarated versions are picky on video cards, when i was little and we baught this game, the graphics looked like the 3DFX voodoo graphics edition, the only thing i don't like about this game is the Braindead AI, you can give them long range weapons [large lasers, PPCs] but not missiles or ballistic weapons!!! [because 1. they might waste the ammo on somthing that is not a target. and 2. friend and foe with LRM's or Streak SRM's, will always dead fire missiles]. so in summary i reccomend this game

VERY BAD BUSINESS!!

I ordered MW2 for Windows , it is VERY clearly stated on my order confirmation/receipt. They sent me the Mac one. When I contacted them about the mix-up, they abruptly informed me that was not their problem, it is against their policy to refund or exchange ...even though it was entirely their fault!!!

Great game, download patch for xp

This is possibly the most fun game of all time. Whether you like it or not, you have to admit that the design is great. Sure the graphics are not the best, but they are good enogh to keep me interested. All of these people whining about it not running on their computers need to shut up. You just need to download the v1.1 patch and install it, and then the windows xp patch, and run in w95 compatibility mode. my favorite game of all time get it and have fun
