Great But Could Be Better
If you've played any of the PS3 Gundam Vs. games, this is pretty much the same thing with some really nice graphics and a couple of mechanic tweaks. The good: Over 90 Gundam's to choose from with an additional 100+ to use as assists. The standard dashing moves have been upgraded a bit (you can now dash downwards at will). Weapon load outs and buttons are about the same as before. The game runs really smoothly and so far, the online net code has been stable. Online matches range from 1 on 1 to 3 vs. 3 and there are no problems or long waits finding matches. The entire thing is very quick with minimal downtime from playing. The Gundams all look fantastic and the music is superb (even on the standard version of the game). The negative: Arcade mode is really simplified with not as many paths as before which is a small bummer. The online ranked matches are not yet available (right now everyone is playing casual/non ranked but this is supposed to be coming soon. There is a DLC tab which is greyed out, how many mechs and what their cost will be is still a mystery. That said, if you loved the arcade action of the first few games in the series, you will have a blast with this one.
