If you've ever played Gundam Encounters In Space, then you pretty much in a nutshell know how to play Gundam SEED Never Ending Tomorrow. It's the exact same controls and gameplay. The only difference is instead of focusing on various gundam shows, this game only focuses on Gundam SEED, and instead of just fighting in space, you fight in space, in the desert, underwater, and anywhere else. The story mode is pretty basic, you choose wether to play Kira's story or Athrun's, and play from each of their point of veiw's. You have the option to choose a support character, and what mobile suit your gonna use. You level up and earn points which you can spend in the shop on new mobile suits, support characters, and other things for the gallery. The graphics are good, but not top notch, and there is alot to do, so this game should keep you busy for a while. If you aren't a fan of Gundam SEED, then don't worry, the story mode uses cutscenes from the show, and narraration to break down the story and characters as well as their mobile suits, for anyone new to the Gundam or Gundam SEED universe. Overall its not a bad game to own. If your a gundam fan, definatley pick this up, if you don't even know what gundam is, but still want an awsome action adventure game with giant robots, and plenty of drama, still pick this up. 4/5.

Okay, here we have not a bad game...but not a great game either. Gundam SEED; Never Ending Tomorrow is definately a fan based game, I'd reccomend watching at least the first few episodes to get into the plot line since this is the kind of game that you can only get the best out of the story if you already know it; plus, if you weren't too keen on the series, then there is absolutely nothing here to change your mind.

There are a lot of differnet characters to choose from, but there's only so long a person can go leveling up hoards of minor characters to unlock a mobile suit that had about five minutes screen time; that said there are quite a few extra's to keep the avid gundam fan happy.

In terms of graphics, not bad, but I've seen better. On to playability and controls; not the best control setup in the world, extremely similar to Encounters In Space but with a way worse camera system. It can be extremely difficult to get a lock on enemy units, though if you can manage it, the camera then constantly searches for the best angle, when the only one you really want, is the one that stays still.

Next up is replay value, unless you're the sort of person that can persevere with the annoyingly slow point gaining for purchasing items that range from old coffee mugs to make up, and then to unlock more characters which then have to be levelled up annoyingly slowly, then there isn't a heck of a lot of replay value, unless of course you just fancy shooting some stuff and blowing it up.

Overall this is a reasonably fun game with some good action sequences, albeit a little easy with someting like the Freedom Gundam. I'd reccomend renting this one before you commit yourself.
