From what ive heard it seemed like a great idea, just wasnt implemented all that well. And later versions of mech warrior made decent group control while still piloting one, which was funnnn.

It should have been Command And Conquer with mechs. It was Command and Conquer, but <ul><li>No skirmish</li><li>No base building</li><li>All stealth missions</li></ul>
Remeber in Red Alert 1, some of the missions you had to guide one or two people around (*coughtanyacough*) and do various "Stealth" missions and not get them killed? (which was insanely hard at times) That was pretty much all of mechcommanders singleplayer. And the Multiplayer sucked too. No strategy at all. Just wonder around the map, find your opponent, and wait for 15 minutes while your heavy duty mechs sit there and fire at each other (often missing while only Yards away) with crappy lasers because they can hold about 3 salvos of missles each? <b>YAWN TO THE EXTREME</b>

I played some of the swamp. I shot some scanner things. I have no idea what they were. Then I shot some frogs that were hell-bent on killing me, for some unknown reason. Then some mosquitos hatched out of eggs. I got verydamaged in all the confusion.
Then another mosquito hit me and I exploded. Then, thank god, the game crashed.

The Fortress of Dr. Radiaki. The game was just awful, absolutely awful. It gave me nightmares to think that human beings could have come up with something so unfathomly bad.

Seriously, DX has quite a little more than its very solid RPG-FPS foundation on offer. First, it's certainly one of the best examples of multi-approach level design in existence. Second, it features a very intriguing storyline with well-written dialogue and actually some theoretical considerations factoring into the actual conclusion of the game (each of the three possible solutions can be regarded as taking a stance towards the opinions expressed by the Morpheus construct in Paris, for example). Add to this the well fleshed-out game world, and you have a very, <i>very</i> good game.
Granted, the technical aspects aren't that great, but I'm capable of surviving without of top-of-the-line graphics.

Just saw five commercials in a row for it.
