Having seen most battletech games ever published, as well as most tactical mech games ever published, i can say with certainty that this is by far the best digital version i've ever seen, and not just because of the graphics, but the game mechanics which are amazingly true to the game. it's noteworthy that I have over 130 hours of game play. Pros : -The battle here is much more fluent than the original board game and I've truely enjoyed playing it - but I don't think it's fair to expect faster paced battle. Battle tech is quite a complex game system. you either accept it for what it is or switch to other games, and generally patiance is a good trait to have here. - the graphics are so much better than what we've seen on this franchise before and the terrain is modeled quite well. -It's the original BATTLETECH! which is a pro intself. cons : - Personally, I havn't encountered the technical dificulties i've seen in the other reviews, and to be honest I've only noted one game bug worth mentioning - so my advice is taking care of your savegames. -i was a bit miffed by the relatively small selection of mechs in the game, and missed some of the most iconic mechs the battletech universe has to offer. -i found the maps a bit repetitive when doing missions ouside the main campaign. All in all, I highly recommend it and give it a very rare 5 star review.
