Amazon.com Review

Ask any number of gaming experts and they'll likely confirm that Activision's 1995 giant-robot action title MechWarrior 2, despite its numerous overhauls and long-delays, remains one of the most groundbreaking and exciting games of all time. Now Activision revitalizes the classic with MechWarrior 2: Titanium Edition.

The new edition boasts new 3-D graphics, supporting both 3Dfx and Rendition hardware, and provides a slightly updated look without compromising the classic's proven, action-packed gameplay. Even though MechWarrior 2: Titanium Edition's improved 3-D visuals and sound effects don't stack up favorably against modern games, if you never experienced MechWarrior 2, here's your chance to relive one of the most complete action titles ever conceived.

The player assumes command of gigantic, lumbering BattleMechs and, in many missions, oversees a squad of friendly team members controlling their own huge metallic juggernauts. Before each mission (MechWarrior 2: Titanium Edition includes over 30 missions), players select from 15 different BattleMechs, varying in size, speed, and durability, and customize them with over 20 different weapons, such as missiles, lasers, and equipment like coolant devices and jump jets. MechWarrior 2: Titanium Edition's diverse mission objectives, instant action missions, customizable BattleMechs, and NetMech multiplayer capability provide a nearly infinite amount of replaying. --Doug Radcliffe

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great game !, January 16, 2002

By	Sir MMPD (Magalia, CA USA) - See all my reviews

Mech2's expansion is a great game.

I have never seen so many mechs in one game of all the mech games I have played this is the only one with a large ammount of mechs includeing the common mechs now Timber Wolf, Dire Wolf, Atlas, and my personal favorite mech the Elemental not a mech but a body armor hehe 1 star of those vs a Dire Wolf is a great fight :)

The Single Player missions are pretty good they take a while to beat as you are a Mercenary you can higher lance mates and you have contracts for decideing where you fight. The ability to choose where you fight is very nice considering some of the battles are right out of battletech history :) so you can play out history instead of just reading it.

The online gameplay is good they have improved alot over mechwarrior2's online gameplay which had the DFA bug and several other small bugs to my knowledge there is not as many bugs in this game.

Another thing that is very nice is that they upgraded the graphics in this version and the 3dfx version. The previous version did not have that good of graphics.

Good things:

Lots of Mechs
You choose where you fight in single player
very few bugs
Updated Graphics

Bad Things:
Well far as I can see there are none besides the fact that your a Mercenary and personnaly I perfered the Clan Story line over the Merc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Holy Crap! This Game ROCKS!, March 2, 2000

By	Trevor Smith (Terra) - See all my reviews

If your like me and like battletech things, this is it. It's pretty cheap to buy but is really good and has some really good missions. And it's almost exactly like the battletech board game. It has all of the rules. And the cool option is that you can override the shutdown. This game rocks!

4.0 out of 5 stars This is the game that started a PC revolution!, February 8, 2003

By	chemikalguy "chemikalguy" (Durham, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This game is fantastic, and because of it's age, will run on older computers. There was a game that came out before this one called Battletech 3: Mechwarrior, but it was really bad. I think it was only 16 colors, if that tells you anything.

The 3D graphics are spartan for today's standards, but if you want to see the first generation of Mech combat, grab this one.
