Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Based on the original Gundam TV series, Gundam: Zeonic Front allows the player to experience the One Year War from the perspective of the Principality of Zeon. It's the year 0079, and the Zeons must fight to regain control of Earth as the Earth Federation, with its superior resources, begins taking Zeon-controlled territory one battle at a time. The player becomes the commander of a famed mobile suit company, and leads his troops in a fight for the Principality of Zeon's independence from the Earth Federation. The player commands up to three platoons in every mission, and devises his own strategy for accomplishing each objective. The abundant variety of missions, engaging story lines, and realistic battlefields make this real-time strategy game highly replayable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Zig Zeon, July 10, 2002

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front (Video Game)

This game is supurb. While other people will complain about it being to hard as with some weapons the ememy suits can kill you with one hit. But if you have ever watched any of the Mobile Suit Gundam shows you will know that there's no chance that any Zeon suit could withstand some of the firepower in this game. Such a shot to the cockpit or bosters with a beam rifle or the twin 120mm cannons mounted on the shoulders of a Guntank.
If you do find it to hard for you rework your attack route and battle codes, the ones the game gives you are rarely the best. Thats the whole point of being able to plan your own route.
As for graphics, I would have to say that while the eviroment looks O.K. the appearance of the suits, both Federation and Zeon is beyond great.
The game is divided into a variety of missions varying form recon to defense and escort. For each mission you can choose which teams will participate what equipment they will take with them, weapons, decoys, support fire, etc, and what route each team will take.
This game can however get a little fustrating well you go and make a magnificent attack pattern that you think couldn't possible go wrong, and then it does and you have to go and rework your plan. So don't expect to beat every mission on you first try. And when you do lose because you acidently put yourself in a position with your back to the emeny and got killed rework your plan so you come up behind them and they get ambushed.
In conclusion I would say that this is a great game to buy if your a moderate gundam fan or if you like squad based action.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finnaly a realistic Gundam Game., April 18, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front (Video Game)

This game is great,and I know you guys are going to get mad at me but this is way better then Journey To Jaburo.First of all its damege system is WAY better.Journey was ok,but did you notice how many beam slashes it took to take out a ZakuII?This game has better damege system.Another thing,its not all strategy,it is if you want it to be by planning youre onw routes and battle codes,or just go with the flow.This will be hard at first but when you unlock ALL the secrets such as secret pilots and Mobile Suits,youll be happy it took you long.My favorite suit is Mudrock in the game. Now for the bad sides: Its a little slow at first but youll get right on it. The good sides:Play as 14+ diffrent Mobile Suits,and youre favorite Characters such as Char,and Amuro.Better Damega System,and way better Graphics. If youre looking for a good hard realistic game get this,if youre looking for short but sweet and adventure get Journey To Jaburo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Practice for the real thing., July 29, 2002

This review is from: Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front (Video Game)

In this game you are given the perspective of those usally portrayed as "The Enemy" and you can realize that they aren't evil, but really just people. I like how well it expresess the realism of combat, how a plan you thought would work can fall apart, forcing you to think on your feet and how you could have the lives of a dozen men counting on you to make good decisions, decisions that could ensure a supreme victory or total loss. When I first played this game it was to humor my grandson, until I got to the actual combat, It reminded me of my days in the military during the Vietnam conflict, though the weapons were somwhat different, ultimately is was true war right to the core of it's being. I would recommend this game to any young military officer looking to practice strategy to hone his tactical senses.
