Anime fan or not the game is simply spectacular.
Good
-graphics are pretty good for a PSP game crisp and clear visuals probably some of the best you can get for the psp
-Good music selection, all the music is taken from gundam seed and gundam seed destiny including the band TM revolution
-a pretty long campaign, actually there are 2 campaigns that are like 100 missions each
Bad
-some gundams from gundam seed and destiny are missing
-not every single piece of music is in there from gundam seed (ex. meteor – TM Revolution)
Story:
Basically if you've seen gundam seed the campaign loosely follows the story but you can decide to be the earth forces or ZAFT ( Zodiac alliance of freedom treaty) which is pretty cool
Graphics:
Well the graphics are pretty stunning for the PSP there are no "pop-in" in the environments and the gundams are pretty if not look perfect to their counter parts in gundam seed/destiny but the details could have looked better on the gundams
Sound/music:
SFX and music are all taken from the series so there is no problem here except some music is missing
Gameplay
Controls are pretty simple and every button on the PSP has a purpose in the game. You've got game modes like versus which is where its sort of like super smash brothers only its 3d instead of a sort of 2-d or one view sort of look. You've got arcade which is where you pick a gundam and fight in 10 or so different environments, then you get campaign mode which you read of from above
Replay value
Is outstanding there are so many possibilities to play in versus, personally I do a little role play like what if the strike gundam was actually captured by ZAFT and all that and you can do arcade mode with most of the gundams you can use from versus.
Improvements
Well some gundams were missing that were in the series but not in the game like the Moebius, Mistral, GINN type high maneuver 2, GuAIZ R, GaZuOOT, ASH. BABI, GOUF ignited (GOUF = Guardian Of Unity Forerunner, Blue and orange colored) Windam, Zamsa- Zah, Gells-ghe, Destroy gundam, Exus, Astray Shrike, Murasame, Murasame recon type, Destiny, providence, that's about all that's missing its long list I know and some of you are wondering why there left out and here are a couple reasons why:
-Game creators are lazy
-some of the missing gundams could've been clone gundams
One other improvement would probably be them including some achievements in my opinion (ex. Downing 15 gundams in one battle)
Overall this game is awesome and any gundam fan won't be disappointed even if its missing a dozen or so gundams. The game scores a 9.5/10 but since I am a major fan of the series it gets a 10/10 great job Bandai-Namco!
