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.

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!

this game SHOULD BE RENTED FIRST!

If your a gundam wing fan youmight consider even after I say this. It's not like a mecha game like armored core. It has REAL BAD CONTROLS REALLY AWKWARD ONES! Nothing like armored core. Amuro is a little cry baby. you have to be him. Atleast they should make it that you could be the gun tank or something. Also it's just a hit and slash game. The only way you would consider to buy this game is if you want to see the movie clips. once you beat a mission their clips. OTHERWISE IT"S THE WORST GAME ON EARTH! IN amazon it's rated good makes you think it's good. But listen to this try other sites you know and get reviews. They will be real low ratings. Try... for this game it talks how... it is. I didn't listen to it and wasted a good 50 dollars! If you don't listen to me atleast rent it before you lose all your money! Because of the controls it's really hard to beat the game. You won't beat the game. You'll get sick and tired of it first.

IT BURNS! IT BURNS!

When I got this game, I was so overjoyed that it wasn't even funny. I put the game into the PS2, and was practically drooling because of the opening scene. When I finally started playing, I thought 'Beam Saber... cool...'. Then, five minutes later, my head hurt because the game was so bad. Even still, I played through the game, got all the secrets, did everything with every MS, and I still hated the game deeply. Sure, it's slightly fun, but not fun enough to make up for all its weaknesses.

First of all, as the camera is in third-person view, it's difficult to see what is directly in front of your suit, especially in the larger MSs. Secondly, The controls are pathetic. The only way to aim and fire without locking-on is to click in the right stick, but the action of pushing the stick in throws of your aim. The aerial targets are practically impossible to hit, as they move too fast for the lock-on or the aiming function to hit, which is really annoying in things like Level 3, where practically all the enemies are flying. The friendly AI is too stupid to be of any use, the Gundam Hammer (the spike ball) is absolutly useless, there's no reload function, which is very annoying when you're going into battle with 1 shot in the gun, and you don't want to lose your already low accuracy rating, so you have to wait mid-fight as the gun auto-reloads.

After beating the nine levels of the regular game, which I did the day I got the game, you open up six new 'Tactics' battles. Well, three actually, as the ones for the Zeon and the Federation are the exact same, just for opposite sides. You can unlock a huge number of suits, except every single one is useless.

I can not honestly recommend this to anyone. Please, if you want to keep your sanity, avoid this game at all costs.

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.

OHHHHH NO ANOTHER GAME SLOW

Some of the reviews are only saying this game is good because its Gundam Wing. I like Gundam's just as much as the next guy, but come on, COME ON, this game has a terrible framerate, bad graphics (for PS2), and many other bad features. Although this game has many good features, like its cinematics, and replayability, it is a very subpar game. Wait for the new Gundam title to be released in the soon future, which is guarenteed by Bandai to have a higher framerate, and better gameplay.

Eye-candy but not much beyond that.

Starting off with the positives, it is a very nice graphical game. Very nice cutaway movie scenes in story mode, which provide something of a history/detail for those not familiar with Gundam. In game graphics are very nice. Not the absolute best, but very nicely done. Sound effects are pretty good too. Explosions look read, weapon firing is nice, and collapsing buildings during combat look pretty good.

However, the controls of the game are absolutely HORRIBLE. The potential of it being a great game goes out the window with this very bad control set up. Very difficult to control the Gundam suit in the more advanced levels, where control is needed. The "targeting" option was a total waste to include, for it targets where the enemy used to be (after they move the instant you fire) rather then following.

Lousy controls make the game almost unplayable. The excellent graphics were wasted because of this. The game goes back on the shelf to collect dust.

Not as good as it looks.

I rented this game and found it to be ok, at first, but then after few minutes of playing it became borring, frustrating, and repetitive. The graphics did not enpress me that much either. I'm not really a Gundam fan, though I have seen a few episodes and they were pretty cool, but the only reason most people like this game is because they are hard core Gundam fans and will buy anything with a Gundam label on it.
