i am a HUGE fan of Moblesuit GUNDAM. i have models that i have put together and i watch the show religiously. so, automatically, i was thrilled when i saw this game in the line-up.

unfortunately, after all the glitz and glam, i rented this game first because of all the horrible reviews i read. and from all that, they were all correct. the game set up may be fun as a futuristic simulation first person type shooter game, but i felt that the ontrols were not only very rigid, but not very friendly as well. i tried to give it a chance with playing it for an hour, but i just got frustrated with the lack of strong ammunition and simply sword-play. i may not have given it enough time to wow me, but you and i both know that if we arent hooked within the first 10-15minutes, it would be better playing montezuma's revenge on atari than wasting anymore time on this game. (albeit, montezuma's revenge is an AWESOME game for that time)

again, as the title says, visually exceptional since i got to view and control the mobilesuits i love so much, but other than that, pass me the remote and let me watch the action on the cartoon.
