Even while shrouded in a pretentious BattleTech mythos that stretches back to board games, this is definitely not a deep game. The really weird thing about MW4 is its incredibly wide appeal.
But if it’s something a little different that you are looking for, Microsoft’s MechWarrior 4: Vengeance (MW4) may be just be the refreshing pool of variety you crave. And when it comes to going back to basics, the thought of stomping around in a sixty-five ton, nuclear powered, pulse-laser armed, walking tank springs immediately to mind.
Something almost pastoral in its quaint simplicity. There’s a point where TWS modes, convergence patterns, and performance envelopes take their toll, and this virtual fighter jock yearns for something simpler. Sometimes a guy needs to take a break from the complexities of hardcore flight simulation.
