MechWarrior 2 Expansion Pack: Ghost Bear's Legacy | Activision | 1995 | |
---|---|---|---|
|
In this good expansion pack to Mechwarrior 2, a third clan is added to the game: the Ghost Bears. It's DOS only and, since it deals with a new clan, you have to start as a new cadet. The first mission helps set your difficulty level by having you fight a seemingly endless stream of opponents: however many you take out before going down determines how tough the following missions will be. After this, you're sent on about a dozen missions, linked by a story that revolves around the retrieval of the clan's stolen genetic heritage. These missions are tough and innovative, and include information gathering and some deep penetrations in which you'll need to use the same mech for several battles in a row. Activision has even tried their hand at making an underwater battle, which comes off feeling like regular Mech, only bluer. A similar fate befalls the "forest" scenarios, with trees that look more like telephone poles. Some new mechs, such as the Kodiak, Incubus, and Linebacker, help spice up the mix, as do killer new weapons like the anti-missile system, inferno missiles, torpedoes, and others. | ||
