Amazon.com Review:
In the beginning, FASA created a miniatures game that featured humans in the far future piloting 30-foot giant robot tanks called BattleMechs. The game was called BattleTech, and it was good. Then Activision assaulted our PCs with MechWarrior, a sequel, a handful of add-on packs, and MechWarrior: Mercenaries, and it was great! Then, MicroProse got the computer game license and gave us MechWarrior 3, and it was OK--not quite good, but also not bad at all. Now, Microsoft has bought FASA Interactive and the BattleTech license. So FASA gives us MechWarrior 4: Vengeance, and folks, it's awesome.

MechWarrior 4 casts you as Ian Drusari, the nephew of a powerful duke, who returns to his home world from the Clan Wars to find it occupied by a rival noble family: House Steiner. You must launch a civil war and reclaim your birthright as you command a ragtag army of awesomely armed, 40-foot-tall, 80- ton, 90-mile-per-hour BattleMechs across the remote battlefields of your hostile world.

Not a bad tale to tell and Microsoft made sure the telling would play as well as it looks. The graphics are flat-out amazing. Lighting effects, smoke trails, smoldering Mech armor, laser discharges, and missiles all look incredible. You can fight in deserts, arctic regions, forests, and even on the moon: all look sci-fi-movie perfect. Mechs have more animations than ever before as well. They stomp across the battlefield and reel from weapons fire convincingly, and when the cannon fire finally punches through their armor, they light up like Christmas trees. Thermonuclear Christmas trees, that is.

The Mechs are faster than in previous games yet you still feel like you're piloting a lumbering, walking tank--this is a Mech combat simulator, not Quake III in power armor. The controls have been simplified, but this is a good thing. It used to take a long time to learn how to pilot 100 tons of armored death, but now the controls are much more intuitive. No longer will players have to cycle through weapons lists; now, each weapons group is controlled by its own button on the joystick. We recommend Microsoft's Sidewinder joystick, as the game's controls were written with that stick in mind.

The enemy Mechs in the single-player game play well. Both your allies and the enemy use their Mechs' capabilities wisely and provide a challenge throughout the game's long and entertaining campaign. Multiplayer is offered via Microsoft's easy-to-use Gaming Zone and there is also an Instant Action mode that'll keep you playing long after the campaign is over. MechWarrior is back and looming large over the gaming scene. --Bob Andrews

Pros:

Immersing techno-feudal storyline
Excellent balance between simulation and action
Challenging, yet easy to learn.

Cons:

High system requirements
Sometimes cheesy voice acting

Amazon.com Product Description:
MechWarrior 4: Vengeance takes place in the BattleTech universe of the future, where giant robots slug it out on faraway battlefields. The creators of BattleTech and the original MechWarrior game return to give MechWarrior 4 an all-new story line and six new BattleMechs. You can customize any of the 21 available Mechs, though some features (such as the Mad Cat's missile racks) are standard.

There are 25 single-player missions spanning seven different terrain types: lunar, alpine, arctic, swamp, urban, and desert. Before going into battle, choose your lancemates based on three variable factors: their personalities, their piloting skills, and their mech. Full Internet support is included: create missions, host servers, and participate in missions cooperatively.

- Mech Warrior 4 Vengeance...a great game
Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance (2000 Video Game)

If you're into giant robots blasting each other with more firepower than the US Army can bring to bear, then this is the game for you. Customize your mech with your specifications and take out your opponents as quickly as you can. Tromp around through a bunch of stages, trashing landscape, buildings, and of course, your enemy's mechs.
Great replay value with fun single and multi player maps available for the time when you just don't ... Read More

- NEED A NEWER NEXT GEN VERSION!!!!!!!
Kind of an old game, but I'm sure it was fun 5 or 6 years ago.

- Best PC game in Battletech system
This game is great! It was released a few years ago but they have never written another game for this IP. I can't understand why. Microsoft got the Battletech (or Mechwarrior) license whey the aquired Wizards of the Coast. It has a loyal fanbase and lots of people still play the game even though it is a few years old and the graphics are a bit dated. Don't get me wrong, the graphics were stellar for their time and they are still pretty good, but compared to the newest games on the market today you ... Read More

- good old school shooter
I grabbed this as I never got a chance to play it when it was current. for today's standards it's definately outdated, but i still got into the game play.

- MechWarrior is definitely kickass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so they did take out most of the old, cool mechs like maurauder and warhammer, and, my favorite, kodiak, but its got better graphics and more weapons like the bombast laser, i love it its great (i can't play it online though...damn internet)
