Is MechAssault worth it without XBL? (1 Viewer)

I don't have XBL. Should I get THPS4 or MA?

Thanks!

MechAssault is great, but I don't think I would buy it if I didn't have XBL, there's just not enough replay value. Go for Tony Hawk.

You could probably beat MA in a 5-day rental period if you didn't dilly dally.

I enjoyed the MechAssault single player campaign and also enjoy playing the bots in Grinder. Online definitely adds a lot of value. So far as the extra content that will be available on a future Official Xbox Magazine demo disc so don't worry about that. I think it's worth the purchase (but I'm biased in suggesting it as I hate extreme sports games).

I would rent MechAssault and base your decision on that. The Single Player is fun, but I beat it in like a week. Ever since I have played online and (and even played online mixed with the SP campaign.) Online is truly the only reason I return to that title again and again.

So definitely a rental, if you get absolutely hooked then buy it after that. If not, then enjoy a fun game for the rental period and buy THPS4

for single player, tony hawk blows away mechassault imo

I rented it and was impressed at first, but the damned time limits, which made it necessary for me to restart several levels over and over, combined with the lack of in-game saves, made me finally say the hell with it. Too bad, because the graphics and sound are pretty decent.

Simply put: no.

Nope. I found the single player element boring and the only reason I played it was to get the other 2 Mechs for Live play.

I would suggest a good rental before throwing the cash at the single player game.

While it is pretty robust for a multi-player title, it just fails in comparison to other single player games.

I liked both games and own them both. I'd probably lean towards THPS4 without XBL...

I have never played THPS4, I'm finding it hard for single player MA to hold my attention for long
