While I at KatsuCon I found the new gundam game. Finding it here in the states so soon after the release is amazeing. The sad thing is now Im not getting the special zeon PSP.
The game it's self is pretty confusing at first, but I did find a good website with translations for the PS version and I'm starting to get the hang of it. It has a flow to it, set up phase, enemy set up, then action phase, and enemy action phase. There may be more but thats how far I got so far. For the set up you get to make new units, send in spies, and start moving things around. This phase may not take that long but it's very inportant. As for the action phase it takes so long. Here's where you'll spend hours of mindless cat and mouse. The battle systems is simular to advance wars. The part that annoy's me the most is the you have to battle on so many fronts. One thing that I think makes up for that is the fact you have to maintain public opinion. Based on choices you make you'll be on the side of law or chaos. If you're lawful you get more resources from allies and nuetral factions. If go down the road of chaos you can do some "fun" things like Zeon's operation British (a.k.a.-a colony drop). Any way til I finish a faction campain I can't give you a real reveiw. But for real gundam fans this is a must have. It's not as fun as some of the games where you pilot just one unit, taking on hordes of enemy units. It's for the ture fan who love every part of a moblie war, politics, strategy, and and blowing stuff up.
