There is almost no problems with MechWarrior3 except that you have lots of keyboard keys to remember if you want to survive and the game is also alot more enjoyable with a joystick for a smooth ride i your Mech.Also the lack of option in multiplayer mode will maybe make players get bored fast depending on what is your style of multiplayer game.

The visual effects will simply make you fall off your chair.MechWarrior3 is not simply a small step between the MechWarrior2 graphics engine,it is a giant step and made this game compete with the top action games that offer the best 3d art on the market.Texture are very well detailed,terrain and water surface is also very well made.But what make the graphics ahead of many games is the explosion,laser lights,smoke,dirt look so astonishing.With or without a 3d accelerator the game is pure eyes-candy and will make players look several hours just to look at the landscape and the incredible Mech that you pilot.Sounds is also a big part of the game with full immersion that make you believe that your ears are actually in the game itself.Control is maybe complex to learn but give you full advantage when you get in combat.The movements of your Mech is so well detailed that you really think that a real Mech would move exactly like this.

MechWarrior3 is full of goodies and will make players and fans love it after 2 seconds of play.The game will immerse you into the 31 st Century into a giant Mech cockpit thanks to the graphics and sound quality.Many hours of fun is what await players that have this game.Only remember one thing,use strategy to survive and make the Inner Sphere win the battle against the Smoke Jaguar Clan.
