The Gears themselves are well detailed and the rounded surfaces make them look very high-tech (even though they all look like they have elephantitis of the guns). If you really want to test out your Gear skills, this is the place to do it.The game includes some nice visuals, like the starfield I mentioned earlier, but the art direction is inconsistent and I encountered a few clipping issues in some of the particularly rocky terrains. In difference to the campaign mode, the historical missions represent some of the greatest battles in the annals of Heavy Gear, and are just plain hard. The individual sorties are short, but this just keeps you glued to the action since you're constantly changing objectives and locations. You can either use your legs to do the walking or sacrifice a little mobility for speed and pop out your retractable wheels.The long campaign mode contains a lot of different scenarios and, while the game isn't very challenging in the beginning, it quickly gets tougher as you progress through the missions. In most of the missions you'll be grossly outnumbered, so you'll want to stay hidden until an opportunity arises where you can swiftly sweep down upon your enemies and fill them full of holes.
