Summary: Unable to play yet
Comment: I know I really enjoy this game .. I've been a mech fan for years.. However, I was not able to get this up and running on my 64-bit Ubuntu "Gutsy" computer as of yet. The typical issue of getting the right libraries.

Summary: Please-Buy a better game.
Comment: I respect the opinions of others, but you should seriously consider a better Mech sim like Mechwarrior, or even Starsiege. The AI in the game is good enough, but too often I couldn't trust my team to take care of them selves very well. I have played this game since it came out, and never got past the 10th or so mission becouse the weak story couldn't make me care. The Gears are well animated and textured, but they still don't act like they should or sound like it. If I am piloting a 10 ton robot I expect to hear the sound of heavy metal parts whining and running, but you only hear the soft foot falls as it jogs along. The graphics are okay, nothing ground braking even with a 3D card it doesn't make full use of it. The weapons are well balanced but their effects are dull save for the rocket packs and particle cannons. Had HG2 had more time and not pounded out in to a least decent form it could have been a very good game. As it is, if you want a real Mech sim get Mechwarrior 3-good effects and simpler game play.

Summary: Gear Up, Heavy Down!
Comment: As many others have said, this is what Heavy Gear I should have been! It's great fun, but VERY hard - I'm having trouble getting past the fourth mission! A 3D accelerator card is mandatory for this game, but it's well worth it! Squad management is a bit tricky, and the missions where you need to sneak past enemies can be right frustrating - doubly hampered by a lack of an in-game save, which is really necessary in some of these missions - but if you can invest some time on this baby, it's great fun!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Sequel to the worst game
Comment: This game is awesome, graphics, gameplay, sound, this has it all. Kick A envirinments including lava and Zero-g. This is the best game ever sequel to the worst game ever
