One of the best guides ever

MechCommander is a tough game, so thankfully there is a great guide to go with it. Although every mission can be accomplished multiple ways, the author goes through one method step-by-step for each mission and occasionally relays alternate methods. The maps in particular are very good, as are the recommend forces for each mission - the author gives general guidelines while allowing the player to tweak them to suit their strengths. The book occasionally has a typo - giving the wrong number of artillery strikes in a mission briefing or accidentally calling a unit by the wrong name. I counted less than five in the whole book, which clocks in at over 200 pages, and most of the time you either don't notice or can clearly see it's a typo, so they're not devastating. This guide is a great tool: I highly recommend it for both hardcore fans of the game and those who need a little help.

ANOTHER GREAT PRIMA GUIDE

Like all that came before this is another great Strategy Guide. An easy guide for anyone to follow from us HARDCORPS MECH MANIACS to someone just looking for a bit of help with a particular tough Mission this has it all. Prima never fails to deliver, sure there are a few flaws between the book and game play but show me a Strategy Guide that's perfect.....I rest my case. No I do not have any association with Prima other than the fact that I like to spend my hard earned money wisely and they have not failed me yet.You definitely get a BANG for your buck.

Easy-To-Read, Great Mission Briefings

This book can be used in (at least) two different ways: 1. To enhance the rather small briefings given by the game. 2. To treat Mech Commander as an adventure game. So for those of you who want better mission briefings (few surprises), or would rather focus more on the single player adventure concept, then this book is for you. It also is packed full of general tips, and will not spoil the game if you limit yourself to reading only small portions of the text.Each mission is explained in full detail, with a labeled map, and a "blue print" walk-thru. Just read the parts you want to read.Enjoy!Neal
