Each model has a level of detail and texturing which will make sure you never go back to a MechWarrior 2В game again. Whether the Mechs are getting up, getting down or just walking along, their movement is fluid and impressive to watch. Each model is animated with a realism that suggests the use of motion capture technology. The Mech models are the best I have seen in a game. Although there's still a certain degree of 'sinking', buildings break up into a much more convincing mess of bits and pieces in general it's much more satisfying watching buildings crumple into the ground. Despite the fact that modelling the disintegration of large objects under the influence of gravity is still essentially impossible with today's processors, ZipperВ have greatly improved the illusion of such events in MechWarrior 3. The entire model, or at least large parts of it, would rotate in a graceful, Elite -ish kind of way for a few seconds, sweeping in and out of the earth it was sitting on with impunity. One of the things that really made me wince when playing MechWarrior 2В was the way static objects blew up. This has significant implications when considering strategies for taking on the enemy, as I'll explain later. Water is well drawn and nicely transparent, and appears in almost every campaign map. Despite that, there are nicely textured desert, wilderness, arctic and volcanic arenas to play in. The planet that the campaign takes place on is somewhat barren, so you won't see much in the way of grass or trees, but there's just enough 'terrain boogers' to make the view believable. The scenery is also very nice to look at, with carefully modelled houses, military complexes, and even fishing boats. Despite the fact that MechWarrior 3В is very much a sim, the necessary controls are easy to learn and the quick-reference card can safely be put away after a short time at the helm. Assigning orders to lancemates or support crews can also be carried out swiftly. Even a simple keyboard/mouse combination feels unhindered and easy to use, although using a force-feedback joystick is the clear winner for preferred input device. Weapons can be selected and regrouped, targets acquired and your Mech piloted, all with a minimum of fuss. The in-game interface is nothing short of excellent. In their previous life they worked on sims for the military. ZipperВ aren't neophytes in the coding business though. After taking the franchise back from ActivisionВ (who, after slightly missing a beat with Heavy Gear, are back on track with Heavy Gear 2), FASA InteractiveВ gave the task of turning out the next MechWarriorВ games to Zipper Interactive, whose only previous major game was RecoilВ (which, by the way, is a damn fine arcade tank game). So, how does the latest instalment in the MechwarriorВ series stand up?

If heavy-handed acts of random destructive overkill is your thing, then MechWarrior 3В was made for you. In fact, the only thing that can stop a BattleMech is, of course, another BattleMech.

They can stomp buildings (and infantry when the need arises), destroy vehicles and pummel the scenery with ease. So what's different about BattleMechs (AKA 'Mechs)? Mechs are massive lumbering war machines, which crap on mere tanks from a great height, and not just because of their long legs. Heavy GearВ fits snugly under the first-person-giant-robot-shooter label (anyone for genre-name overkill?)- MechWarrior 3В definitely does not, and curiously, StarseigeВ actually sits fairly nicely in between. They've all got lots of armour, modular weapons and feet don't they? What it all comes down to is the feel. Your average punter may well be puzzling over the difference between Heavy Gears, Starseige 's HercsВ and MechWarrior 's BattleMechs. You see, as any Mecha nut will tell you, there are giant robots, and then there are giant robots. OK, what we have here is yet another giant robot game, right? Well, not quite. If you've played MechWarrior 2В and its siblings to death, and thrashed the demo until your hard-drive started smoking, you'll probably want to skip to the next section of this review. MechWarrior 3В is, of course, the eagerly awaited third installment in the MechWarriorВ series.
