5.0 out of 5 stars Best Gundam game for PS2, June 16, 2002

This game is probably the best Gundam game for the PS2 so far. I already own the Japanese version for PS2 named Mobile Suit Gundam Federation VS Zeon DX and I own the Japanese Dreamcast version named Mobile Suit Gundam Federation VS Zeon and DX. The is an arcade shooting type of game. The game also includes mobile suits from Mobile Suit Gundam and some from 08th MS Team like RX-78-2 Gundam, MS-06S Char's Zaku II,RX-79[G] Ground Combat Gundam, and other mobile suits. The game also includes secret characters which I won't tell you because you will just have to get the game to find out. According to the Japanese PS2 vesion there are four diffrent modes of play: arcade mode, VS mode, Mission mode, and at least in the Japanese version a network mode. It is about time Bandai that Bandai released one of it's top-selling Gundam video games in the US.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Gundam Game Yet!, November 19, 2002

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon - PS2 (Video Game)

I played Zeonic Front and loved it, due to the fact it was a strategy game. But this game beats them all, and may well be the best Gundam game to date.

It's action is fast paced, and you actually have to fit to defeat an enemy. Instead of the one hit kills, you actually duke it out a bit to defeat anything, including the surroundings.

It has three modes: campaign, versus, and arcade. I love campaign, as it covers the story of the show Mobile Suit Gundam and allows you to be part of the experience. Once you beat both the Zeon and Federation campaigns, a harder mode opens up for campaign, allowing for great replay.

Versus is fun, although you can only have up to 2 human players in total. It allows you to practice and hone your skills. Probably the most enjoyable and used part of the game. Once you defeat certain enemies in Arcade Mode, they become unlocked for Versus Mode. Not to mention that once you beat campaign, opposite sides of mobile suits can be used for the Zeon and Federation. Basically, you will be able to pilot any mobile suit for either side. A very awesome feature.

Arcade Mode is fun, and allows you to rack up high scores and experience the One Year War in 13 missions. This mode can also be played with a friend! I have to admit though this mode has ticked me off several times, because once in a while your enemy is just a little too powerful... I'm trying to become an ace pilot, and remaining relaxed during fights helps a lot, but sometimes bogus shots and cheap shots can make you mad.

Of course, their are options! You can customize your controls, as well as soudn levels, game difficulty, and how much damage is overall caused (allowing for you to either quickjly kill enemies or take a while on them). I think there are more...

A very excellent game, superb graphics and sound...although soem of those sound tracks can get annoying. But hey, that's what putting some techno music on your stereo is for, giving you a great gaming experience. A game you'll come to love and get addicted to, so now I need to sign off and go turn it on!

4.0 out of 5 stars VERY CHALLENGING!, September 30, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon - PS2 (Video Game)

this game is your basic arcade type space shoot-em up game.
it starts off with a familiar premise for whichever side you choose(fed or zeon). it starts off that your side is losing the war and its up to you to turn the tide. most of the battles are pretty easy early on, but after a while it becomes pretty evident why your side is losing.enemy AI is very clever and you will often be attacked from all sides.there is about 100 different missions for each side so that adds some replay value,but most are just your basic search and destroy mission. there are also between 25 and 40 different mobile suits and mobile armors that you can play with. overall if your a gundam fan you will love this game because it follows the plotline of the one year war perfectly, and if your not a gundam fan you will like it if your really into shooter/simulation games. that is why I gave this such a high rating.
