The Bad Wins

I recall playing this game years ago--almost a decade. This game featured a cool cast of characters, but that's it.

For Gundam fans, it may have been somewhat of a treat simply because of the cast of characters and the Gundam title slapped on; however, this Gundam game is more like a slap across the face. The story is drab, the gameplay is a little uninspired and generic (almost a copy of the older 2D Dragon Ball Z fighting games--which were also pretty poor as well--replaced with Gundam characters), the game is horribly unbalanced, and the voice acting was sub-par. This was the first in a line of three Gundam fighting games to be horrible and the trilogy goes downhill with each sequel.

Pros:
+Fun for Gundam Fans
+Lots of Gundams

Cons:
-Generic Fighter/Another Game Using a Known Name and attaching to a bad game
-Unbalanced

I highly only recommend this game to hardcore Gundam fans...and even then, I warn you to rent the game first if you MUST try it out.

Not the best; not the worst.

This game has the Mobile Suits of the gundam series, but it just isn't up to my standards. The graphics, concerning gundams, are good. All the gundams and other mobile suits look good. If I hadn't bought this game already I would just get the second one because it is much better. The second one has many of the same characters, but it has a better story mode. I think this gundam game is just for the gundam collectors. I would compare it to DBZ Ultimate Battle 22: the best quality is the detailed drawings of the characters.

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.

A fairly bad try

I was excited when I saw this game, and for about 10 minutes was really pleased. But as I got further into to it, I found the game slow and boring. What really angered me is that you can only be Heero in story mode. There are other important pilots in the Gundam series like say - oh I don't know - Amaro Ray? Ever heard of him game? Apparently the first New Type wasn't good enough to be featured in the story version of this game. Another problem was that the playing fields are way to small, but I give major props for getting the scale of the characters in relation to one another correct and the overall variety of characters to choose from. The only other good point about this game is the graphics are quite nice. But it's lack of replay value (something important in all fighting games) and paucity of any real challenge is quite a let down from an anime series that should not be too hard from which to make a great game. Though I hear the sequel to this game is much better, I don't see how it could be any worse.

I bought this game about 6 months ago, but it was recently that I got into the game. Great detaled 2D game play and a Great group of Mobile suits Like Hy-gogg, Sazabi, and the Z Gundams. And if I missed your Favorite Mobile Suit i'm sorry. There isn't a very good story to the game,the game play is slightly unusual, and theres not that much strategy when it comes down to the mobil suit itself not till you figure out there weakness then theres strategy. But then if you are wondering wy I gave this game 4 stars (it's really 4 1/2 Stars)? It just comes down to just plain kicking each others [rears]. So thats My Review you be shure to read other reviews from me and other Critics.

Gundam fanatic!

If you like Gundam 0079, 0080, 0083, and Gundam Wing
you will "LOVE" this game. My favorite mobile suie is
Sazabi and if you want all the characters you have to
get the Game Shark so you can get characters like Hydra
and Psycho. I only got this game a few days ago and I
can't stop playing. So if your a big Gundam fan like me
I definitely think you should buy it.

Get a friggin' grip!!

Get a grip! Not everything's supposed to be sooooo realistic. You're just too lazy to really buy it and play before [griping]. And the MSyou don't know are from the pillars of Gundam! You don't kow the Red Comet's Sazabi? Maaan.........

I own this game and I love it! It is so much fun. I always play as the gundam GPO2a and if you type in left up right down square triangle circle at the title screen you get the awesome Char's zaku!

Striving for more

Unfortunately for the Non-Japanese converted Playstation, this is one of the few Gundam games available. It blends mecha from the entire series, all teh way back to 1979 in a manner that, while amusing, becomes repeptitive. There is very little diversity in ability, and unfortunately it only retains one "story line." The fighting is repetitive, all the moves are easy enough to perform that the challenge level is lacking. This is a one play game, and then only for fans of the Gundam series.
