You end up co-opting the very mobile suites (mechanized armor) that is responsible for wreaking havoc on the land. Each character has their own suit and you can do a great deal of customization of the pieces as you progress through the game. Combat is against similar mobile suit configurations and is turn-based. The variety of enemies is somewhat limited as they are mostly just variations of the same basic designs. That's about where the good points of this game, end, however. While the game is fundamentally solid, it is definitely lacking when compared to many other PS2 RPGs and looks downright outdated compared to later ones and those on the PS3 and 360. It also has an uneven difficulty - often veering from too easy to crushingly hard and back again with little reason. If you are a big fan of the Mobile Suit Gundam anime this game might be an interesting play as you can customize your suits and encounter many enemies from different parts of the Gundam series. For those just looking for a solid RPG title, look elsewhere. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review. Post a comment.

fever from CA Member Since: Jun 2004 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 3 Days	What the....Saga? Strengths: Customization of mechs Weaknesses: Everything else Summary: Wow, this is a good example of a great idea with very poor execution. Being a Gundam fan, I found the story interesting, but it was nothing I have not seen before. The best part of the game is the ability to customize mech suits, it is too bad the mech are represented as Super Deformed so the customization "coolness" is reduced greatly. Most other aspects of the game is average, with the graphics and combat and random difficulty of enemies, it very hard to progress. I would recommend this only to the most hard core Gundam fan, as this is not a very good RPG. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
