Visually it is quite nice, but of course if you can't get a game to look decent on a PS2 then you have a really big problem. The opening cutscene is fabulous. I wish the game were more like the opening scene.
All the other reviewer's criticisms are correct. The game has TERRIBLE controls. When you start out with the first mission it doesn't seem that bad. But when you play the harder missions where you really need to be able to control your mech, the controls are absolutely useless.
The sound effects are very good. But when the game attempts to mix music, sound effects and voice overs at the same time, it quickly becomes unintelligible. I found myself switching off the music immediately.
Only buy this game if you are a really big Gundam fan and really like to see a 3D model of a Gundam run around. I remember watching Gundam 0079 when I was a kid and so this game is nostalgic for me. But if you have played many of the other PS2 mech games, and are not a Gundam fan, then pass by or rent this title, and wait for the Zeon Front title to come out. Perhaps that one will have learned from the mistakes of this one.

I bought this game the same day I bought my PS2, it (...). Needless to say it's the only PS2 game I've felt the need to trade in.
If you like Gundam, you'll probably love it anyway, so my warning to you will probably go unheaded. (...), if you are going to buy it, you may as well buy it used because every store I've seen that sells used PS2 games has piles of this game lying around (I wonder why???).
As a video game, it just wasn't fun and I found the controls were ackward and the graphics aren't that great for a PS2 game.
I really really did try to like this game, but just coulldn't.
There are so many better videogames out there for the PS2, don't waste your time on this one.
Nice production but bad gameplay

This game looks decent but not up to PS2 standards. The gameplay sucks-no analog support for moving your mech. The auto targeting is worthless against anything that moves. The mech moves so slow, too slow to fit any fighting game genre but unfortunately that's all this game is in the end. The anime and pure CG stuff does look good and justifies the DVD palyback hardware in the PS2. Only Gundam fans will like this. Anyone else that says it's good is lying or stupid.
awsome game

I have only seen screen shots, but the hype over this game is tremndous. I first noticed it a few weeks ago on my friends computer and realized it was only in Japan. I felt distressed and wanted to know when it comes avaiable here. I look on Amazon and I find it almost right away....
Decent game, but for UC Gundam fan this is a God send...

The game just arrived yesterday. As a UC Gundam fan, this is what we've all been waiting for. ..
Yes, the control is very strange, but you'll learn to get used to it in 1-2 hrs. of play... And you'll discovered new tricks on moving around as well...
This game stinks.

This is the worst game ever created. Gundam may be a good tv series but the game is junk. Don't buy this game!
