I never played either of the Mech Assault games, or anything else BattleTech or Mechwarrior. I always knew these Xbox games existed and where typically scoffed at and watching this first video...I almost want to play it? Looks so stupid, and I kinda get a kick out of the wall climbing mechanic even if it is finicky as poo poo. The openness of the level and destructibility is giving me a desire to replay Metal Wolf Chaos, oddly enough.

Yeah, other than the weight of these massive loving mechs you pilot, so much of this (and I presume MechAssault 1 as well) feels less like an actual mech game and more just a shooter taking cues from Microsoft's then biggest loving IP at the time. Doesn't even need to be a sim if being arcade-y was the goal, but there's always better ways at conveying that you are piloting a robot and not playing a third person shooter with a robot skin. Although my only reference points are from Japanese games, so I wouldn't know the first thing of translating BattleTech's specific qualities to a more pick up and play kind of game.
