Players find themselves in greater control of the action in MechWarrior 4, as they choose which battles to fight and which lancemates will be watching their backs. Best game out there for cool vehicles.Over the years, the mechwarrior games have been my son's favorites (age 15 now). The player finds himself in a 40 ft. Tall, highly armored vehicle which is superior to most of the other vehicles in the game. I say it's all about shooting.

He says it's all about aggressive politics. Mechwarrior is in a different category from the role playing game like the Lord of the Rings series, which he also loves.This is what he says:I had been wanting this game for a long time, and when people thought they had given it to me for Christmas, they had only given me expansion packs. I was really excited when I finally got it. The game is really fun and pulls the person into the plot, I finished all but the last level in a few days after getting it. But I haven't finished the last level yet because it's hard. Anyway, this game is great.

The mechwarrior series has me hooked.As for the weapons, they are all believable. A thousand years from now, I can see the PPC's throwing lightening into an opponent.

Some people enjoy the huge variety of missiles and ballistic weapons, but my favorites are the lasers.I like the fact that they let you create your own weapon layout and customize your mech just the way that suits you. Also I love gauss rifles, the slugs that are launched fill me with glee.

The plot is also believable, coming back from fighting the clans, to seeing your homeworld under opression, and your family murdered; that throws the player into an amazing revolution.Ever since mechwarrior 2, I've looked at those vehicles and wanted to be in a real one, an Atlas, or Daishi, or the new Mad Cat mk. What more could the player need? Besides, there is the possibility of multiplayer, and that is always fun.This is a recommended Christmas present - just make sure you get the right one first.

Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang Lyrics summerizes the experience.I grew up playing the game. It's been a while since I've played.

When I saw the listing online, I couldn't resist. As a pathological geek, I love the roll playing aspect of it. The fact that you can customize the mechs is a real turn on.

As a game concept, it is archaic compared to modern shoot me up games but provides that good old fashioned nostalgic gaming experience. I'm working on setting up my gaming server. Perhaps, I might see you there. If you see The Chupacabra on DieMechDie, don't hesitate to say HI!. Product is in Mint condition and worth every penny.Classic game I loved it then still love to play it now.This game was a must have title back in the day and with the new MechWarrior Online and Mechwarrior Tactics games now this game is even more popular than ever. With the improvememnts in Video cards and an Audio technology this game is even better than when it came out.

Minor problems with the different OS is easily fixed with a series of patches. I had no trouble setting the game up and running it.Still looking to find the Inner Sphere addition disc to complete the set but so far this is a great game at a reasonable price.

Contents.Plot The game takes place on the Inner Sphere planet Kentares IV and its moon. Players take control of Ian Dresari, son of famed Clan War hero Duke Eric Dresari and heir to the throne of Kentares.A civil war erupts on the planet after William Dresari, Ian's cousin, betrays the family and seizes the throne for himself under the banner of Katherine 'Katrina' Steiner, ruler of the Lyran Alliance and responsible for annihilation of loyalists to Victor Steiner-Davion, brother of Katrina. After a surprise attack by Steiner forces on the Dresari royal palace, leaving Eric Dresari and the majority of the royal family dead, Ian meets up with his uncle, Sir Peter Dresari, on the moon orbiting Kentares' to launch a guerrilla campaign against Steiner. Ian fights alongside fellow Resistance MechWarriors, Casey Nolan, Jen McQuarrie, and Jules Gonzales, and their commander Elise Rathburn in various missions. The Resistance eventually relocates its base on the moon and sets up camp for the first time on Kentares' in the arctic regions.

At one point during the campaign, Ian's uncle Peter is murdered by Duncan Burke, a high-ranking officer in Katrina's forces. Ian and the rest of the Resistance are devastated by the loss of his uncle and debate over whether or not to continue the fight for Kentares' freedom. They decide to push forward and manage to capture a satellite network from Steiner.

The rebel group moves into the mountains.After destroying a disabled but heavily guarded Steiner dropship, Ian and the Resistance move to the Hadra Peninsula, a remote desert region. Rumors of an abandoned prison camp reach the Resistance and efforts are made to locate and liberate it in order to enlist more personnel for the Resistance.

Along the way, Ian is shocked to find that one member of his family survived Steiner's siege of the Dresari palace: his sister Joanna. After a short reunion, Ian and Joanna are separated once more as the Resistance plans to mobilize their forces to assault Steiner's stronghold. They make a brief detour to save the coastal town of Vale after Steiner threatens to bomb the town due to allegations of links to the Resistance.

Not only does the Resistance save the population, but Ian manages to personally defeat his uncle's murderer, Duncan Burke, in a heated duel.Pushing forward into the cities, the fighting heats up and Resistance casualties mount. Joanna informs Ian of an old armory cache hidden somewhere in the city full of equipment enough to outfit four heavy Lances of mechs, valuable for assaulting the Dresari palace, now the headquarters for the Steiner occupation. Before the search for the cache could be conducted however, Joanna and her Lance are ambushed by Steiner forces, leaving her badly injured and in mortal danger.

Ian has to make a choice, between rescuing his sister from certain death or securing the weapons cache for an assault on the Dresari palace. Whatever the player chooses, Ian and the Resistance fight one last battle against House Steiner, finally putting an end to the war. However, the fight is not yet over for Ian, as William shows up in a modified Daishi, challenging Ian to a duel. Ian defeats William and finally frees the planet from Steiner's grasp.Depending on the choice the player makes during the penultimate mission, either Joanna or Ian will ascend the throne as Duchess or Duke, respectively.Mechwarrior's expansion, Black Knight, takes place several years after Vengeance, and gets its name from the organization of mercenaries the plot revolves around. After the first mission, the Black Knight Legion fall under the employ of the Steiner House, who wish to reclaim the Throne that Ian Dresari has taken; because Ian chose to find the weapons cache and not save his sister, many of his allies have left him, and his power is weak. The Steiner House, however, betrays the Legion, and nearly wipes it out in a surprise attack. This leads what is left of the Legion to seek justice against the Steiner House, while also continuing with their mission to overthrow Ian Dresari.

They eventually find and kill Steiner liaison Clarissa Dupree, who is responsible for the betrayal, as well as Casey Nolan, who has remained loyal to Ian. The Legion also overthrows Ian. The final cutscene is a commercial advertising the Black Knight Legion, and they cite their success in killing Clarissa and Ian.Gameplay Mechwarrior 4 is a game, with the player piloting a Mech in each mission.
