Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Greatest Ever
Review: I've seen the reviews which said nothing for the game. I've tested the thing and I still can't get the enemy to work into my palm. The graphics make it very realistic. I just can't wait till version 4 is out on the market.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I WISH I COULD GIVE IT MORE THAN 5 STARS
Review: If you like simulated giant robotic explaosive action this is the game for you! Its got 18 mechs for you destructive pleasure. you can even customize your mech with all kinds of weapons and equipment from laser and rockets to machine guns and jump jets which make you fly. it is a very fun and adictive game. You can play it through the game with a story behind it, play it on the net or play instant action where you pick how many and what type of mechs to fight. Also you can pick if you want a compuster AI buddy to help you destroy everything in sight.I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS GAME. you should also buy the stratagy guild..............You might need it!

Summary: Good game
Review: MechWarrior 3 is a great game. The graphics are a little outdated but it is a few years old. the SFX are great too, they are very true to weapon and are not of poor quality. On my pc (p4 2.0GHz, 512mb ddr333, Geforce mx440, 10,000rpm SCSI HD and Windows XP) it runs without any skipping or latency. The Campaigns are the best of any game I've played but some times I am at a loss as my copy did not come with a manual. This is by far the best mechwarrior game in existence (MW4 not so much because of the fact you do not have much freedom with creating new 'Mechs).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding Game
Review: Mechwarrior 3 is a visually impressive, engrossing and mostimportantly fun game, especially if you are a fan of Battletech. Itshould not be missed.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nothing is perfect...
Review: Mechwarrior 3 is an awesome game. I've seen many reviews written saying how it's better than MW2, but what if you don't own MW2? I'm writing this review as someone who has never played another Mechwarrio game. The reason for a missing fifth star is simply the system requirements. I found that after i installed MW3 several of my programs stopped working; it took some tweaking in the close program window (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) to get things working. Now I will be honest: my system is old and lacks 3D acceleration and a sound card. However, the thing that bugs me is after watching the opening movie (which displays a truly awesome 'mech battle that looks as close to real as possible on high-performance computers) I knew it was capable of producing great graphics. The actual game is a little lacking, but considering when it was made and also the fact the deigners couldn't really put much more of anything in the game since the amount of disk space it takes up is astonishing. The game itself is great. This has to be the most customizable game ever, and here's what I mean: The Mech Lab is a workshop where you decide what to put on your Mech, such as weapons, armor, engine size, heat sinks, and electronic gizmos. There are of course, weight and size restristions, but if there weren't, well, who could beat a 100-ton armored walking tank with 40 lasers and 100,000 missles? The other great option in this game is the customizeable controls. Prefer to have all controls switched so that left = right and up = down? Not recommended, but go ahead: you can do it. The storyline of the game is for once in gaming histroy: exciting! Missions are played over adjoining terrain, and the only boundaries are natural obstacles (However, should you pass a certain line far from the mission area your superiors will assume you are bugging out or heading to McDonalds and call the mission a failure). In most cases, if you travel back far enough you'll end up in your last mission area. More and more technologies become avbailable as you salvage (yes salvage this is war and there is no Super Wal-Mart nearby selling Gauss Riflesl, i checked) Mechs and weapons from the enemy. The final battle is a little shortcoming of what the game deserves (one hint: fire first, fire at the leader, fire fast and if you're on fire please get up from your computer and call the fire department), as it is usaully over in a short amount of time. One thing to remember is I'm sure you'll be much more impressed if you have a faster system and 3D acceleration. If you don't, make ure to go into the options and switch over to the software 3D system. Buy this game if your into it: This is not an instant action blow everything up shooter. This game involves this osolete thing: thinking. Do you want to blow the bad guy apart in a massive explosion? Or go for one of the legs and salvage it, while putting yourself at risk? Do you go into the base the front way? Or try to jet boost over the rear wall? There's also a lot of technology and things to commit to memory: it is impossible to play (or lets say, succede) without reading at least some of the manual. I know i skipped some things, like MFB's and heat mangement, but I'm not writing a manual for people who have the game; I'm writing a review for people who don't. As always, have fun.

Summary: Best Series out there!
Review: MEchwarrior 3 is the best game I have ever played. With the Force Feedback you actually feel your mech walking and the recoil from your with every shot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great graphics, gamplay yet too short and easy
Review: Mechwarrior 3 is the sequel to the classic mechwarrior 2 which made me stay up almost every night. Now, I must say the graphics are beautiful. The lighting effects are shown well on my Creative Labs Savage4. Gameplay is pretty impressive too, I use a gravis blackhawk. For keyboard users, you do get a fold-out leaflet with all the keys, pretty intimidating at first. The biggest problem with this game is its length and difficulty. The missions finish way to fast and are way too easy. I beat most of the missions on the first try. I also finished the game in less than a week. But you multiplaying on any of those networks. I'll probably buy the expansion (I hope its good). There arn't many new mechs too, so another disappointment there. All in all, this is a good game, but to fully get its value, you have to play against other people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Superb! A breakthrough in gaming!
Review: Mechwarrior 3's graphic detail is its finest feature. As crimson lasers fly towards your enemy mech and blow off a leg after a great explosion, you can't help but think: damn, these graphics are aweswome! But they do have some really cool Mechs. There is a really deadly mech I like from the clans called Daishi(Die-eeshee) You can customize your mech with advanced clan weapons, then kick some tail with any of those devastating weapons. My personal favorite being the ER PPC. (Extended Range Particle Projection Cannon) However, my favorite part about being a Mech pilot is to hear your enemy cursing the Inner Sphere as they die! If you like simulation games or robots and artillery in general, you won't regret buying this sure to be classic PC Game!

Rating: 4 stars
