This game is supurb. While other people will complain about it being to hard as with some weapons the ememy suits can kill you with one hit. But if you have ever watched any of the Mobile Suit Gundam shows you will know that there's no chance that any Zeon suit could withstand some of the firepower in this game. Such a shot to the cockpit or bosters with a beam rifle or the twin 120mm cannons mounted on the shoulders of a Guntank.
If you do find it to hard for you rework your attack route and battle codes, the ones the game gives you are rarely the best. Thats the whole point of being able to plan your own route.
As for graphics, I would have to say that while the eviroment looks O.K. the appearance of the suits, both Federation and Zeon is beyond great.
The game is divided into a variety of missions varying form recon to defense and escort. For each mission you can choose which teams will participate what equipment they will take with them, weapons, decoys, support fire, etc, and what route each team will take.
This game can however get a little fustrating well you go and make a magnificent attack pattern that you think couldn't possible go wrong, and then it does and you have to go and rework your plan. So don't expect to beat every mission on you first try. And when you do lose because you acidently put yourself in a position with your back to the emeny and got killed rework your plan so you come up behind them and they get ambushed.
In conclusion I would say that this is a great game to buy if your a moderate gundam fan or if you like squad based action.

Finnaly a realistic Gundam Game.

This game is great,and I know you guys are going to get mad at me but this is way better then Journey To Jaburo.First of all its damege system is WAY better.Journey was ok,but did you notice how many beam slashes it took to take out a ZakuII?This game has better damege system.Another thing,its not all strategy,it is if you want it to be by planning youre onw routes and battle codes,or just go with the flow.This will be hard at first but when you unlock ALL the secrets such as secret pilots and Mobile Suits,youll be happy it took you long.My favorite suit is Mudrock in the game. Now for the bad sides: Its a little slow at first but youll get right on it. The good sides:Play as 14+ diffrent Mobile Suits,and youre favorite Characters such as Char,and Amuro.Better Damega System,and way better Graphics. If youre looking for a good hard realistic game get this,if youre looking for short but sweet and adventure get Journey To Jaburo.

Difference is not a bad thing.

I thought this was a great game. However, if you are looking for a game very similiar to Journey to Jaburo, you will be suprised by the many differences in graphics, controls, length and gameplay.

The graphics on this game are exellent, even better than Journey to Jaburo. The amazing explosions in Journey to Jaburo have not been changed much and the detail graphics of the Mobile Suits and the enviroments have been strengthened.

Controls have been completely redone in this game and are nothing like Journey to Jaburo. To walk, you must use both analog sticks to look in a direction and to actually move in that direction. The simple task of shooting and changing weapons has also changed completely. You cannot fire your weapon unless you have targeted an enemy and your weapon is automaticly changed depending on how far away from the enemy you are.

The length of this game has also been strengthened compared to Journey to Jaburo. The first time through the game is realitivly short and fairly easy. However, as you continue through the game it becomes extremely difficult, giving you several hours of exciting gameplay.

The gameplay also has undergone several changes. In Zeonic Front you can earn different pilots (Char, Ramba Ral...) and mobile suits (Zaku I, Zaku II, Gouf, Dom...) to use on missions. You also have a larger selection of weapons (Missle Launcher, Machine Gun, Beam Rifle...) and you can also earn secondary items and weapons (Smoke Grenades, Night Vision, Scope...).

The main difference in this game is that you are more of a team with your squadmates. You are the captain of (at most) 3 other Mobile Suits. You must also use more strategy in Zeonic Front because your Mobile Suits are so much weaker than the ones in Journey to Jaburo.

In Zeonic Front, there is also something similar to Tactics Battle Mode. As you progress, you earn the Simulator Missions (About 35 in total) and in some of them you can play as the Federation and use their Pilots (Amuro...) and Mobile Suits (Gundam, Guncannon, Guntank...).

This is a great game, though very different than Journey to Jaburo.

Truely this game is has brought gundam to a new level. It's true that it will take time to beat and unlock all the secrets. But you must think with strategy especially in the level where you can't kill gundam because the mission is recon not destruction.Without strategy bye bye zaku but it can be beat i have with alot of time. A great buy for any gundam fan or non gundam fan.

This game is cool, but I think bandai out did themselves. This game brings gundam to a whole new level. It has more than 40 levels. The downside is it's hard. I still stuck on just the fifth level. You shoul rent this game first.

This game is difficult at first. My first point of the is is that It is nothing like J2J. Controls are much different. This game is like Rainbow 6. If you played this game, you should have an idea what this game is like. This is not for the average game player since a lot of thinking and stragety has to be used to play this game. So if you want this game go ahead and get it but If you don't like stragety type games, then let it sit on the shelf and collect dust.

Good Practice for the real thing.

In this game you are given the perspective of those usally portrayed as "The Enemy" and you can realize that they aren't evil, but really just people. I like how well it expresess the realism of combat, how a plan you thought would work can fall apart, forcing you to think on your feet and how you could have the lives of a dozen men counting on you to make good decisions, decisions that could ensure a supreme victory or total loss. When I first played this game it was to humor my grandson, until I got to the actual combat, It reminded me of my days in the military during the Vietnam conflict, though the weapons were somwhat different, ultimately is was true war right to the core of it's being. I would recommend this game to any young military officer looking to practice strategy to hone his tactical senses.

Holy Smokes!!!

This game is not meant for beginners because it is extremely hard (example:You can be blown up in one shot). But overall this game is great, the graphics are intense, and the mobile suits look awesome. Your mobile suits get upgraded as you go, so you become a little stronger. If you own Gundam: Journey to Jaburo you'll have to get used to the controls. If you ask me, this game is worth getting. I give it 4 out of 5 stars because it is a little on the hard side.

Zeonic Front is great game but there are a couple problems. One thing is their aren't enough diffrent types of mobile suits,to use in campain missions .But there are a couple good things about it also,one thing is you eventualy get to use amuro,sayla,char,and garma.And also from what I've heard the gatling sheild is not in the game.Oh yes you can also use some other pilots and some new mobile suits.Oh yes I forgot to tell you gelgoog,Z'Gok,and some other mobile suits are't in this.There are also federation simulation missins, you get around the time you're about to finish round 2 in campain missions.There are Round 1,andRound 2 campain,and simulation missions. GOOD LUCK
