Most Accurate and Fun Gundam Game Yet, January 1, 2004
When I heard that Encounters in Space was supposed to play like Zone of the Enders, I was pretty stoked since ZOE was probably one of the best mecha games made for PS2, with the exception of RAD. But since I'm a Gundam fan, this grabbed my attention. Bandai has hit the nail on the head with this title. Fans of Gundam or mecha in particular will eat this up. First off is the animation for the series as shown in the game. The original Mobile Suit Gundam has been re-animated so it looks brand new and that just rocks. The sound effects and music is replicated to a tee. It is EXACTLY like the series, which isn't bad for us Gundamanics. The controls take a little getting used to, but they're not completely horrible. Graphics are good, but think a sharper, better looking Star Fox 64. The CG intro is great and is leagues better than that kiddie-pleaser SD Gundam currently on Toonami ( hopefully Zeta Gundam will be out soon and take SD Gundam off). The most impressive thing about this game is you can play as almost any of the Mobile Suits. Sadly, you can't play as most of the Gundams from Gundam Wing or G-Gundam. But they do have a good selection. Master Gundam,Burning(God)Gundam,Wing Gundam Zero Custom and TallGeese III. This is a game strictly for Gundam fans, but a darn good, if not, fun one.

best gundam game so far, December 9, 2003
this is so far, the best gundam game out of all that I have played (excluding Z Gundam that's being released in Japan currently). the game gives you the true feeling of controling a gundam on your own to explore the vast universe and the wars between the earth federation and principality of zeon. the 50 min. anime cutscenes that are incorporated into the game closely link the original gundam anime with the game itself, providing a fluid transition between storylines and battles... there are over 80 different MS you can use in this game, many are unlocked when you beat games in different levels of difficulties or sidequests. as added bonuses, you also get to use 6 different gundams from the alternate universes other than the original MSG, which greatly increases the replay value (gundam wing zero anyone? :P)the graphics in this game are amazingly detailed, you can even see the marks and labels on each gundam if you look carefully; the improved particle effects in beam sabre combats and explosions give you a closer experience of what a war is like in the gundam world... usually, detailed graphics mean slowdowns, however you don't see a lot of laggings in this game, the battles are always intense, they won't disappoint you musics in this game are remixes or rearrangements from the gundam shows, if you've watched MSG, you'll be pleased with the nostalgic tones and melodies, you can even hear each track in the bonus modes after you beat the game once, a feature that some of the newest games is lacking the gameplay itself is similar to that of zone of enders, if you've played konami's zone of enders, you shouldn't have problem manipulating the controls and commands; but even if you've never played zone of enders, this game is still a piece of cake in terms of learning the necessary keys and buttons to grant you victory... in about half an hour, new gamers can master the controls in encounter in space and pilot their own gundams... there are different modes in this game, you can play as a pilot in the story mode, create your own pilots and machine and take on that of your friend's in the versus mode, and you can battle with others online if you have the network adapter... this is a wack load of fun whether you are a die-hard gundam fan or just a gamer that's looking for some action packed shooting and sabring game overall, encounter in space is a great game that should be and will be appreciated by gundam fans; if you aren't a gundam fan, try it out, it might give you the first step toward mecha based action games... create your own pilots and choose your own mecha, then..... GUNDAM FIGHT, READY? GO!!!!

The best Gundam game of all time!, December 8, 2003
Ok, i'm sure you've heard this alot but, it's true this is the best Gundam game ever. Why? It gives you a heavy amount of variety in the Mobile Suits. Ok it gives from the 0079,0080,0083, eras, and G Gundam, Gundam Wing Endless Waltz, and Gundam SEED. Not only that but you can create your own character and build up their statistics through 8 different levels. And be able to use this character in the versus mode included in it. Also there is a Side Story mode to play as either of the two main Gundam pilots on board the assault carrier Throughbred. Plus there is also an Ace Pilot mode which allows you to play as one of your favorite pilots. Now I won't reveal the other information because otherwise, you wouldn't buy it. So go to toysrus, or the website here, and buy it. Trust me you won't regret it. But a little correction, the main storyline is NOT about 0083, it's about 0079 with Amuro and Char. Also what Megaman said was wrong, you CANNOT use Mobile Suits from the 8th MS Team, except for the Ball Type K, and no there is NO Victory Gundam MS's. Also you can use Mobile Armors, and space craft, such as the Core-Fighter and so on. There are a few hidden MS's but, if you've played, beaten, and have your saved file from Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo, you can play TV mode by loading the file from the game. This is an added bonus for those who bought it like myself(that game's good too), but for those who didn't you're gonna have to ace through movie mode with all A+'s.
