A lot of people really like this game! This is a really cool game ONLINE! When I first got Mech AssaultI did not have xbox live. I played the game and likede it, for the first 3 days at least. Dont get me wrong, this game rocks but when you get over all the shooting and destruction you only have a LAME, REALLY LAME story line. Online its a completely different scenario. YOU NEVER GET OVE IT! ITS FREAKING AWESOME! Destruction and chaos or well organized team work...whatever fits you best... I love to say things like..cover me im going in etc...IF AND ONLY IF you have xbox live, buy it. Otherwise this is nothing but a cool rental
