Excellent graphics, great story, and good gameplay, all add up to make a fantastic game which I personally think is better than the Mechwarrior series for PC.
DEAR GOD YES!

This is probably one of the most intense dreamcast game ever. The best things about it are the Star-Wars like beam saber battles! You can even customize your gundam before you enter the battlefield! You need to choose the right mech and weapons for each mission. I can describe this game in one word... AWESOME!
A good Solid Gundam Game!

If you're a fan of Gundam, then you should definitely pick up this game! I have been a long time fan of Gundam, and this game is very immersive and really puts the player in the Gundam Universe. The attention to detail is great. The animations of the various Mobil Suits are very well done. The in-game cinematics are also very well done and the modeling and texturing of the Mobil Suits are amazing! The English dubbing is good and thankfully, they used actual voice actors instead of inexperienced voice talent (you may recognize a couple of the voices from other Anime movies) Game Control is a little awkward at first, but with a little practice, controlling your Mobil Suit should be no problem. The "Lock-on" feature is a real great help, and lets you concentrate on dodging and fighting, instead of just trying to keep the enemy in your cockpit view. This makes the battles a lot more fun, and less frustrating. I have the earlier Import Sega Saturn versions of this game, and I must say that the Dreamcast version is an awesome upgrade from that version and "head and shoulders" more playable than the Saturn predecessor. The ability to command your "wingmen" and the scout vehicle is really a great feature, and adds a nice level of strategy to the game. With careful planning, you and your fellow Mobil suit team members can "kick some serious butt" on the enemy Zaku's and Mobil Suits. My only real complaint about the game is that it is too short (only 9 missions). However, the game is so well crafted and so much fun to play, that I still highly recommend you purchase it. It is a good addition to your game library, and a game that you will come back to in the future and play again (especially after watching some Gundam Anime).

Being a Hardcore Gundam Wing fan, I saw the word Gundam and immediatly thought "EPYON TIME BABY!". I read a preview for Gundam Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes, and saw it had nothing to do with Gundam Wing. "Oh well, Gundam is Gundam." I said. I bought the game and love it. Although it is too short, it's still great! It just gives you an adrenaline rush when your slashing away at other Mobile Suits, or blowing thier brains out. Doesn't it?
OVERALL: This game will satisfy any Gundam fan's needs, 'cause as right now, this is the closest you'll get.

This is a very good game and I'd reccomend it to anyone who has quick reflexes and good hand-eye coordination. The gameplay is great. It took me few days to get the controls down but once you do that it's all good. You get to pilot 4 Gundam type mobile suits through the game. The GM is a mass production version of the RX-79 Gundam. The GM Cannon is a redesign of the GM that employs a 240mm cannon on it's right shoulder. Later you get the RX-77D, a close support Mobile suit. It has 2 machine guns, twin cannon mounted on each shoulder and head vulcans. In the last mission you get the RGM Sniper 2, an ace type mobile suit. It took me a couple hours to beat the first time. Now i can beat in 31mins. and 50secs on HARD. I could beat anybody who tried to get me. It has a very good story line.
VERY FUN

No I'm not talking about basketball, I'm Talking about GUNDAM for the Dreamcast. This game is nothing less than spectacular, even though it is a little short. Who cares if it doesn't have Gundams or the Gundams from Gundam Wing, The game is still Great!
Kick A$$ Game

Being the experinced gamer that I am it takes a good game to get my attention and this one did. I first rented the game and fimished it in about half a day(with lots of breakes in game play) The thing of it is is that I baught the game after I had beaten it (very strange) and I still play it today. I have a shelf of dust colecting DC games because Gundam has been in my system so long. GO OUT AND BUY THIS GAME
WOW

I think this game is the best if your a real gundam fan like me and you want to know exattly how it feals to pilot one of those gundams then this is the game for you how ever this game does have some draw backs its called gundam but there are no gundams only the RGM-79 and some similar models but you do get to pilot one towards the end but still its awasome to be in side the RGM-79 i really like this game and if you like this game its great but the biggesst prblem is its to darn short only 9 missions but its good you should get it if ya can find it
