The graphics have been redone to take advantage of the Saturn's strengths. Choice of mech and weapon grouping are still of paramount importance, and a head-on attack on an enemy mech is still suicidal, but controls have been greatly simplified, the ability to customize your mech is gone, and the addition of in-mission power-ups gives the game an arcade feel. What's different? The gameplay, while maintaining much of the emphasis on tactics and strategy of the original, is now much simpler and more action-oriented. The result is a good reworking of the original that may disappoint fans of the PC version's detail and realism, but should ultimately win over the adrenaline crowd. Taking the walk around as a robot and blow stuff up premise of its hit PC title MechWarrior 2, Activision has created a special Arcade Combat Edition for the consoles to better suit console gamers' tastes. MechWarrior 2 for the Saturn is a perfect example of the latter. Some games, like Command & Conquer, work well as both PC and console games, but others need major tweaking and end up as entirely new entities (which are based on the original).
Contrary to popular belief, it is possible for a PC game to get better on its way to consoles.
