I probably won't play either (I have a PS2 with enough games I don't 
have time to play, and do my 'real work' at home on the Macs) but if 
there's a version available, i'll get one.

One really nice thing is that it seems like headFirst is really 
concerned with keeping the 'feel' of their licensees games intact... 
Dream pod 9 seems to have had some minor issues where both of their 
computer games deviated somewhat, and they've had to deal with issues 
stemming from the direction Activision took the sequel for quite a 
while.

(HG1 apparently had homing bazookas and other oddities because HG1 was 
based off MechWarrior 3's engine. HG2 had the setting changed to a 
battle on Caprice and, while vaguely following what seems to have been 
the intended storyline, some shortcuts were taken to make things work 
easier.)
