This was the free game I got when I bought the original XBOX. I still have better memories of this game than I have any of the more "modern" mech-type games. It didn't bog you down with stats, menus, or other "fluff" just grab your mech and start blowing stuff up.
This game and its sequel are what made me fall in love with mechs and rock music. They're not the best remembered of the franchise but being the Goliath in the David vs Goliath fight is a big draw to me for the Mech genre and they service this with aplomb.

Mechassault 1 and 2 are great single player and multiplayer experiences. From the sound effects to the voice lines to the pure chaos of mech explosions! To this day the Mechassault Reborn Discord plays these two games every weekend! To see it persevere on GoG despite it's larger community all but forgetting it would cement it's status where it belongs and bring in even more players.
I played this game a a kid way back in the early 2000's and it was my first introduction to video games as a medium. I currently am part of Mechassault Reborn, a group that still gets together and plays this game on weekly game nights with mods. Releasing this game for native PC would allow us to finally no longer have to worry about limited copies of Mechassault that are available, and allow modding the game to be so much easier than it is. If this gets ported to PC it will allow our small commnuity to finnaly thrive and get new players set up again.

I love this game and its sequel. Sadly it is nearly impossible to play them nowadays. I would love to have the chance to experience those games of my childhood. The music, the gameplay and the mechs are awesome.

This is the game that convinced my dad to get an Xbox all of those years ago and in turn introduced me to the legacy of legendary games from the Xbox and its successor the 360. This game needs to be shown to newer audiences.

This game was hands down my favourite classic Xbox game (Halo:CE is a close second), this game took the little embers of a mech fan in me from Iron Soldier 3 and turned them into a flame. The raw power fantasy, even the camera angle and scope made the world feel so small and stompable, and all the weapons were so powerful, with everything except other mechs falling in a salvo or two. I remember wading through rivers chasing down convoys of ships, swatting helicopters out the sky with missiles and machine guns, mowing down entire squads of tanks with autocannons and lasers, and all the squishy infantry that pop into little red clouds when you stomp through entire platoons of them. This game is such a precious memory of mine, and I would love to see it reach PC through GOG.

This is probably my contender for #1 most replayable Xbox game right next to Halo 1 and 2, I would definitely love to see this game again but on a more accessible platform compared to having to buy an original xbox and make sure the capacitors are working and everything else
This game for me was such an adventure and almost like an Awakening towards loving the mech shooter genre. There's something about going into a campaign and living the story of the Mech warrior through the lense of one of the last in your faction. Trying to scavenge and do what you can for your fellow comrades. Whether it be coming across other Mechs on the level or doing a scouting mission it moves the story in a way that me as a teenage kid on the Xbox was something I'll always remember. It would be a treasure to have this on the PC, just a direct port nothing changed.
Man to see this game be brought back would be a blast! Was born in 1998 so Big Ass TV with the back and VCR's were a thing. Never had internet until I was 16 so having this game along with my xbox original was fun and kept me entertained along with other games. Honestly hope that this game and Mechassault 2 gets released again for GOG or Steam.
