What an absolute waste

Following the trend of Gundam games in America, Battle Assault is terrible. There are, though, two ways to look at it: as a Gundam product, and as a fightin game.

As a Gundam product, the game is terrible, because Bandai should be pushing the Gundam Wing series further, seeing as its the only series televised. Their last minute replacement of the RX-78 with the Wing Gundam (which, by the way, plays identically to the Zeta Gundam) shows their desire to market the game in America to the Toonami show audience. The poor kids wanting to see Deathscythe face off against Tallgeese will be confused when they can choose from several mecha never seen in America.

As a fighting game, this product is just plain awful. All of the gundams have identical moves, with identical button input, and it appears that most of the damage dealing system is based on luck. Poor area recognition is a problem, as is poor control. Bandai's attempt at realism with slow-moving mechs only serves to make the game worse. The ammo system for the projectile weapons is futile and ultimately needlessly limiting. The plotline is...ok, I won't start on the plot. The hidden characters are uninspired and not very useful or fun to play. The regular characters are horribly unbalanced, with several characters obviously stronger and more effective than other ones. The multiplayer is uninspired. The graphics are lacking sorely. The music is terrible.

In short, this game would be good if it a) had gone into development 4 years earlier and been released 2 years ago, b) featured more characters, music, and themes from the Wing series, c) been fine tuned and playtested before release, and d) been cheaper. This game isn't worth $15, much less $40.

Its OK

The only bad thing about the game is that it does not have all of the Gundams from GUNDAM WING only Heero Yuy and Wing Gundam.It has lots of other unfamiliar Gundams from Japan.It is still fun but many sites gave false info pertaining to Gundam Wing Gundams being in the game.

This game was cool the first few days I got it but then it started to get old and the only one who likes it in my family is my cousin. All the charictars moves are alike. And it lacks the long time fun like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, or Chrono Cross. The only thing I like about this game was the competition the game had. Bottom line THIS GAME IS NOT WORTH THE TIME MUCH LESS THE MONEY.

Nonsense and a half

The plot will make any Gundam fan seethe, Hiiro Yui is a slimeball, and I get very angry when he takes the controls of the Zeta. The plot is utter nonsense, as it seems that since the story takes place in A.C 19X, that there was some large dimensional shift, dumping characters from Universal Century 0079 to 0093 on said Slimeball's doorstep. As it's been said in every review, Hiiro is of course, not an original character to this game. The dialogue is absolutely atrocious, as respected characters surrender to "The Perfect Soldier". It seems it was written by a person who had never seen any of the Gundam series, and had no idea of who these characters are. Sometimes I feel so guilty about people like Char or Hamarn losing to Hiiro that I just lose on purpose. No, I really mean it. I especially like Camille's ending speech. That's Camille Vidan, The Strongest Newtype Ever. Well, play it for yourself and find out.
Well, how does it play?
It's an average fighter game. The number of moves are highly lacking, and not especially original. The screen's are a bit on the small side, for a mobile suit battle. The suits can fly around, but not for very long, which is, well, silly. The beam saber attack takes way too long to charge up, and it's weak. Again, that's silly. It would be nice to be able to set a match length, as the fights are one match bouts.
On the other hand, the animation is quite well done. The movements of the mobile suits are true to the show. You know how the beam saber is stored in the Qubeley? It's the same in the game.
Contrary to a previous review, this game has a lot of replay potential. There are some fun characters to unlock.
And another thing. The Mobile Armors are tiny. They are very tiny in this game. I mean, they're big, I suppose, but not at all to scale. They are tiny.
This game has fun to it, but it sure put me off Bandai's localization work for a while.

Good Game, Bosses Cheesy

The game is NOT slow, like most people say, the battles go quickly, and game play takes getting used to, but overall a worthwhile buy.

What else is there to say about this game? You have a simi-nice gundam game. Although the controls are hard and walking to your opponit takes forever this game is somewhat worth while. If it weren't for the EXTREMELLY short game play (beat it in 10 minutes) this game would be a very nice item. And for all the hard core anime fans out there, no doubt you have to get this. But if beating the game in 10 minutes, and then game over wouldn't satisfy your gaming needs, I suggest you look for another game because you will only be throwing your money away on this one, for the amount of time you would spend playing it.
