A Truly Excellent Game
The \'versus\' Gundam games have always enjoyed a high level of excellence, sporting intuitive controls, a wide selection of mobile suits, and exciting interfaces, full of seamlessly-integrated audio and character presences right from the series. This one, however, excels even past the previous entries in the series, making it possible not only to play a massive variety of suits, from 0079 to the end of Zeta (with a few secret suits in there too), but also play as different characters, in different situations, and even in your own custom situations, versus a friend or the computer. Thankfully, the versus series takes into account that not all of us have someone waiting around at any given time, to play a game we might like.
Further, this game features a timeline mode in which your contribution to the story in completing the levels actually has a real, material impact on how they unfold. If you can do it, you can change the story. People can survive who didn\'t otherwise. Others might take an entirely different path in life and end up working for another group. It\'s all up to you, with hundreds of missions to keep you occupied. It\'s truly amazing and fun for anyone, fan or not, to be interested by and enjoy this game. It\'s even more exciting when you\'re a fan, though, and can play with the various possibilities, saving the characters you love and preventing tragedy, or perhaps punishing the characters you don\'t like. It\'s really up to you, as is the choice of mobile suit, upgrades, and strategy. You call the shots.
Any Gundam fan should absolutely get this game, and mech fans will find a lot to like here as well, regardless of whether or not they\'re familiar with the material. I would imagine if you enjoy fun, well-done mech games, this would keep you occupied for days upon days. For you Gundam fans out there, it features all the music you know and love, including many vocal numbers, played on the appropriate stages! You really can\'t go wrong with this absolute masterpiece of a game.
