MechCommander 2 is definitely a state of the art strategic game. The
breathless 3D graphics engine teamed with the design of the game succeeds to
make strategy way more important than brute force. Indeed using force isn’t
a guarantee of success with MechCommander 2: strategy definitely prevails
throughout the game. While I was reviewing this game I was literally
immersed and fascinated by MechCommander 2 until I finally finished it. I’d
strongly recommend this exciting game to everyone who is on the look for a
game that unfolds an intense tactical gameplay along with highly realistic
graphics and environments. All in all this game is simply a success!
