This game was great,the veritech fighters were awesome and the sound and graphics were very good.You get to start out with your favorite characters and upgrade their abilities.You get 6 secret chracters and he gameplay is challenging and not impossible it takes a while to beat.The levels are fun and action packed and the colors of the game are very good.You can go head to head with your friends and fight eachother.Each pilot has his own weaknesses and strong points and you make them better as you beat each level and get to upgrade your veritech fighter.You also get different kinds of vehicles on different levels you get to protect the macross city and stop the Zentraedi form invading earth.The game box also includes a figure.This game is great and fun.

Even if you don't know what Robotech is (best Anime ever) this game is great for anyone who loves side scrolling shooters. The music comes straight from the show; including the main theme and even Rick Hunters theme all redone and sounding great for the GBA's limited sound capabilities. The graphics too are amazing. About the only bad thing I can say is that it is extremely challenging. Switching between Battleoid, Guardian and Fighter modes doesn't give many advantages for any of them like in Battle Cry (Robotech for consoles). Those two things aside, this game is amazing!

Should have called the game Robofun! love it! fast and furious, challenging but not impossible, you will spend hours to play and beat that game.

I enjoyed playing the game because it was fun. What you basically do in this game is fighting with robots, and shoot missiles and laser balls. You can become a jet, a robot, or a half robot/half jet. This game is fun and hard. I really enjoy playing robotech.

Like Defender and other classics, in Robotech you fly, you shoot, you dodge, and that's basically it. Ok, you get to play in different ships, but the concept is the same. I saw a dude playing it on the subway the other day and it looked gorgeous on the GBA SP's sidelighted (or is it sidelit?) screen, so I knew I had to play it. It does get boring after a while and you knuckles will start hurting, but the graphics is so good that you gotta play it at least once. I'm keeping it in my library for the times I feel nostalgic about 2D shooters.

I knew this was a simple side scrolling shooter with not much too it except a Robotech skin, but for some reason that is just AWESOME! I love the music and the unit that come out in the normal "Gradius" style! Something easy to pickup and put down!

While most of the other reviewers say that this game is to hard or to short I think this game is very good while it lasts. I mean it is a little short if you only clear it once but try clearing it with every single character including the secrets characters and getting all their stats full. Now that might take a while.

THE ROBOTECH game for GBA is a side scrolling shoot em up where you have three modes for your ship - robot, flyer, and inbetween. I'm still not sure what the advantages of each mode is since it seems you can kill anyone in any mode, but great fun to toggle back and forth. You play as a character from the series! Rick Hunter seems to be a fave, but Max and Miria are great too. Each character has its own settings and talents.

The music is from the series, and if you get it new it came with a figure. It's challenging! But once you get the hang of it ... very fun. Graphics are good. Fans of the show will be delighted, and the rest of the world will find it a good basic game.

First off, I really like Robotech/Macross. Unfortunately, this game is not great at all. The game can be easily finished in 30-45 mins and the levels are very repetitive. The graphics are ok and the sound is below average. There is some replay value in getting your fighter to max levels and unlocking new characters but after all the fighters are maxed out, it is very hard to tell the difference between them. The action figure that comes with the game also sucks...its completely static and can't pose at all.

This game is very hard but it is pretty cool when you get the hang of it. It is a good game for fans of robotech but is too hard. I can get past the 8th level but not the 2nd.
