Well... you tried
It was a damn good try. However the lack of interactivity, the small objects used (inparticular the claws), and the only real amount of dress up was changing the color of different components. Sure, with some work it would be a buttload of fun, but as it's stands it's real only mediocre(sp?).
Also, some of the parts don't overlap corectly. The middle chest accent for example, doesn't go over the bottom chest plate, but rather vice versa, making it look like a bump you're puttin on his chest, instead of an accent.
I like mechs, don't get me wrong, but this game didn't do it for me.
