GameSpot.com - 8.3/10 -- "Their weapons fire independently and look powerful and are easily distinguishable on the battlefield. Laser weapons pierce their target instantly, while pulse lasers generate a steady stream of concentrated energy. Autocannons are so powerful that your mech recoils as it lets loose each hail of bullets, while your missiles fill the screen with their contrails. Certainly lasers, machine guns, and missiles aren't anything unusual for a science-fiction game, but in MechWarrior 3, these archetypal weapons are in top form, not only because they look great, but also because they are finely balanced with proportional strengths and weaknesses."

Gameplayer -  9/10 -- "They Want Effects...And Mech 3 delivers. Mech 3 is by far the nicest looking big robot game on the market. The robot models looks nice, the explosions are great. (Try shooting a tumbleweed with a laser...pretty spiffy.)"
