Not only is it an immersive and convincing gameplay experience, but it will undoubtedly be a bit of collector's item.

You get a gaming experience out of Steel Battalion that you just can't get from any other game. [Jan 2003, p.57]

As the great sage Ferris Bueller once said, "I must be honest here, I love driving it. I highly recommend picking one up. [It's so choice.]"

Oh no, the main feature of this game is the amazing, sometimes lush graphics, and the beast of a controller you get to play this game with.

Repetitive in the long-term. But, as a gaming experience, it can't be beaten by anything else on Xbox or other games machines. [Xbox Gamer]

For those with the cash, it's well worth it. [Feb 2003, p.95]

This entire control system is nothing but a novelty. Some will disagree but the way this game is constructed, I had more fun playing "MechAssault."

I bought Xbox only for Steel Battalion and the sequel online version. I admit that the game design is maniac with its fps-style pilot seat with the outstanding gun turret aiming and driving system. Although the bulky huge controller looks so stupid, I have never had that feeling of depth being a robotic pilot. It is a futuristic humanoid simulator in favor of middle and close combat tactics. Tekki (Steel Battalion) is almost 10 years old next year in 2012. The concept is still unique and vivid even today. I am ready for 2nd coming to xbox360.

At first glance, the game is no big deal, but when you play with mecha control when it gets good. Playing with that thing is indescribable being one of the best Xbox games. It is a great pity that this saga is ruined by the horror that was kinect.
