Visually MechAssault is a mixed bag, with some areas looking great and others feeling rushed. All of the primary Mechs are distinctive and recognizable on sight, but secondary forces tend to blur together. Background textures are often low-res (even for the DS), leaving a world that simply feels murky. It can also be a problem in combat when you're trying to spot the trooper in battle armor, but can't see him because he's a pixel sized dot on the screen.
