Heavy Gear II

This was one of the best Mech games on the market in the late 90s. It was a competitor to Mech Warrior and yet a very different Mech game. I'm actually surprised this game has become so forgotten and over shadowed by Mech Warrior that I'm the first to write a review for it on metacritic. Combat was fluid and Mechs moved around on wheels and jump jets, much like Tribes. While many of gameplay video I've seen on youtube don't show just how important speed was in multiplayer. Landing a Heavy Mortar round on a Mech going 100km took some talent, but it was worth the effort to master. To top it off there was even space and zero-g combat.
