I am not sure if this belongs here or in the Sony section. I will go ahead and apologize if it is in the wrong place.

I was wondering your thoughts on the game. I was think about purchasing it but after JTJ got such bad reviews I am a little skeptical about dropping a 50 on it. It looks cool, but theres moe to games then there looks. I would also like to know a lits of mobile suits that you get to pilot. anything else you want to share please do, just give a warning on any spoilers.

Well ive read alot of reviews of it also...It looks good.

Spans across numerous battle grounds...Some amount of squad based action...

Gundam games are so few and far between id just get it... :p

Yeah. Side story for DC was not that great, but I was just happy cause I got to pilot a mobile suit, know what I mean. Some of these games, you just have to be a fan to like. thats why I am skeptical about some of the reviews from people who are not a fan. One review said fans will love it so maybe it will be good.

Well I finally went out and bought it yesterday. Overall its a good game for any Gundam Fan.

Although like all games, this one has its share of a few problems, but other then that its a great game. Their are 4 main suits in the game (Zaku, Zaku II, Gouf and Dom) each is upgrade several times to a newer model. Your main character also accuires a Gouf Custom, almost exactly like Norris's except fro the abscence of the 75 mm Vulcan cannon thats mounted on the shield.

It is a little short on missions. The total missions is only 13. However several features make up for that. You are supposed to play it through twice. Second time around units are altered to make it more difficult but you get to start with the same suits you finished it with the first time. Second theres programs for the sim you unlock along the way. These total up to 33 and include some neat fed missions.

One thing I must mention about the programs is, If you ever dreamed of reneacting the final part of 08th team where norris goes through the city with his Gouf taking out the MS team one by one, nows your chance. P11 pits your Gouf Custom by yourself, you have to go through the city and take out several guntanks and G units. Its a real blast.

Gameplay is pretty good. The controls will take some getting used to and the Instruction booklet doesnt help much. Once you get used to it it will be fine. One thing I did not like ws lack of freedom. You can not fire your gun unless you are locked on to an enemy. So you cant go around destroying those pretty cities anymore. Also the jump packs only work if your moving backwards real fast and its too slow to be effective. You cant jump or crouch either. Sometimes it feels like your MS is sluggish but you will get the feel for it soon enough. But the rest of the game features make up for this downfall.

This is more of a sim instead of action shooter so that you will have to get used to. Its very real, one shot can kill you from a beam weapon. It stays true to the show too. Zaku mgs cant peirce gundams armor so if you want to destroy it you have to get it with a heat hawk or something. Also al Gundams you face will have to be taking out with a beam weapon, your guns just cant peirce the armor, which is realistic, but can make things difficult.Your back armor is very weak too, I was killed once by a feddie tank cause it scored a direct hit in the back. some may not like this but I do, I like the realistic stuff where you dont have 100% health.

You will have some confrontations with White Base and the White One, during the missions though you have no hope of destroying them. You only get to do that in the programs. Theres also a new protoype gundam you will have to fight, while its not all that bad, it will piss you off a couple of times.

Sound is good, graphics is good. I had one time that it slow down on me but other then that its fine. Opening sequence is awesome. Theres also a part where you can watch the story of the Midnight Fenrir, but mainly all it is is a collection of clips from gundam that have to do with the battles Fenrir was in. Its actually quite good though.

Overall, if you like Gundam, GET THIS GAME. Especially if your a fellow Zeon Spacenoid. You can also unlcok Garma and his Zaku, char and His Zaku and several others, even some feddies. I am loveing it. Its way better then side Story. Story is good too, it blends right in with how events actually happend. Garma and the Tri Stars deaths are incorparated into the game too. Its a blast to play. Theres something that could be improved upon, but nothign bad enough to cause a problem. Go BUY IT NOW! Now we just wait till the make one that lets you have space battles.... oh the fun we would have.

Sounds pretty good to me. Heh, i just got here and I am about to tell someone who's been here for a while a rule. Don't double post, use the little edit button. Meh, this game is on my special list, that special list is called, Gundam stuff to get. Besides ZZ Gundam fan-subs, it's number 1 on my list.
Oh yeah, I think this belongs in Sony, but no mod. moved it so....:roleyes:

[Amphion]

Yeah, whatever. My double post was justifiable. We have mods here, so they will notify me of any wrong doing.
