Fans of the Dynasty Warriors and Gundam series will like this. Everyone else should rent it first.
This game really showcases the armored suits and gives the player a good deal of customization.....although not nearly as much as games like Armored Core.
I do have to complain about the awkward camera controls during space missions, but hopefully I will get used to it. Another thing I miss about the Dynasty/Samurai Warrior games is the ability to hop on a horse or elephant to use as transport. Obviously a giant mech can't partake in such activities. Still I am happy to see companies still making big-time games for the PS2, and I hope to see more games of the same caliber as DWG2.
