Well, it sure as hell isn't a good game by any means, but a hardcore OYW fan will find plenty to enjoy in here. Rent it.

User Rating: 6.7 | Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire PS3
Despite the really low score this game got, I can't say it's as bad as everyone says (and knowing the gamespot user community, their overt expectations for such a game effecting their tempers is no surprise.) I was actually surprised here, and a little happy to get a less cartoony incarnation of the Gundam universe in a game for once. Once you get into the action, the framerate isn't all that much of a problem. Would've been nice to have a smoother rate, but, meh, I blame the publishers pressuring the developers to get it finished by a ludicrous date, resulting in the rush of a game this turned out to be. (That's what it is, ladies and gentlemen, not the so called "laziness" of BEC, the developers) When you look at how amazingly detailed the Mobile suits are, it's hard to imagine that any sort of "laziness" was involved in the dissapointing result, as they obviously had high expectations for the games development, and failed to meet them thanks to the ridiculous expectations of Bandai Namco. Well, here's hoping that they gather the balls to use the Crossfire engine again someday. Since the concept and physics and graphics engine are both already there, the development and programming of this hypothetical future title should be a breeze, resulting in a much more refined and smoother game.

As for the game itself, be sure to rent it first, and even if you turn out to like it, buy it used, as the shelf price is ridiculously high for such a rushed game...
