As far as I know there are 11 mechs to choose from (I haven‘t been the game in every m ode yet) ranging from light to heavy. It's you versus a planet full of religious fanatics, and everybody knows how crazy religious fanatics can be, but thankfully you'll have considerable hardware at your disposal to deal with them. You can move in all directions at a pretty good speed. For massive chunks of metal the mechs are all pretty maneuverable. While the heavy mechs aren't as quick, you won't find their pace bothersome. All of the mechs move at a relatively fast pace, the light mechs especially. The mechs don't trudge slowly along accompanied by the slow ''.'' of their feet hitting the ground, as in quite a few other mech games. The first thing that struck me was the speed of the game. It was supposed to be a stealth mission but now the bad guys know you're here, and you have to fight your way across half a world to knock out the orbital guns (among other things). On your landing approach your ship is shot down. You're part of the advance team to the planet, your mission is to destroy it's orbital guns and clear the path for the main invasion force. A violent religious cult called has taken over a planet and it's your duty to stop them. In Mechassault you play as a member of an organization called the Wolf Dragoons. Mechassault for the Xbox takes place in the same world as the MechWarrior series, but is quite different than it's big brother. When I hear ''MechWarrior'' I think of a slow, clunky, complex mech sim for the PC.
