Product Description

Super Robot Taisen puts you at the forefront of the battle for human advancement. Our scientific development came to a halt after two meteors hit the Earth. The collisions led to a period of stagnation and violence, until a third meteor strike proved to be a blessing. After investigating, the few remaining scientists discovered that the "meteor" contained technology previously unknown to man. Realizing that the owners of this ship would eventually come looking for it, the world stopped its violence & came together for a common cause. As they studied this incredible new science, they began using it to build defenses -- creating powerful mobile battle units called Personal Troopers. Now, the human race watches the skies and waits for an invasion from beyond...

This review is from: Super Robot Taisen (Video Game)

A smash hit overseas, Super Robot Taisen is a blend of strategy and role-playing with giant robots. With a combination like that, can anything go wrong? No, not here anyway, because Super Robot Taisen is surprisingly good, and upon playing this GBA game, you'll know why it's such a hit. Selecting from two characters, SRT has a long and involving storyline as you strategize battles with your robot in tow and take on hordes of opposing robots as well. The battles are turn based, so for old school fans of the genre, SRT has a ton to offer, but for those more used to the real time elements that RPG's use more and more these days, this could kill the game for many. The graphics and animation are nicely done although they can be jerky in spots, while the sound effects are nicely done and the control is pretty spot on. All in all, if you're looking for a deep and involving game for your GBA (which is something all the more rare these days) then you should definitely give Super Robot Taisen a try, and if you dig it, then you should be happy to know that there are more in the series on the way over here.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like Robot Games? You'll Love This One., March 8, 2007

It's been awhile since I've found a game that involves robots that I really like. Games like Xenogears, Xenosaga, and a few other games are good, but they stray off of what you really want to play with. The Robots of course.

But, with Super Robot Taisen, you get the rush of being a robot pilot, along with a catchy storyline, along with that anime feel, like you're really in the game. If you like games like Final Fantasy Tactics, or Front Mission 3 and 4, then you'll like Super Robot Taisen.

Most of the strange games that the general crowd doesn't find appealing gets thrown to the side. And then I come along and BAM!! Awesome game, that's if you're into Anime w/mechs. I found both this and the second one for fairly cheap. I am really loving this game. But I may be strange. Oh well, to each thier own.
