Macross VO/VOXP

[Lord_Leperman]

It seems to be pretty old, but I'm quite surprised that this went under my game radar considering that I am both a mecha fan and a gamer at the same time. The game seems to play like the VFX games for the PSone from what I've seen in the screenshots, I'll make a full review after I try out the game when my DL is finished.

Macross VO is around 200mb while the VOXP version is around 400mb. The VOXP version has windows XP compatibility and a couple of extra usable units. Music mods and an interface translation are also available in the link provided earlier.

Nix might go crazy over this

Tried it. The game feels more like a doujin game rather than a full-fledged product. Not as polished as Macross: DYRL for the PS2 which is IMO a superior game in many respects. But still, the game has online multiplayer and mod skins, though the game really feels lacking in some areas.

There is a glitch where the BGM won't play at all, so fire up your MP3 players while playing to get the feel for the game.

Fighter mode feels like a frantic version of Ace Combat's. Your Valkyrie can turn on a dime on the spot and the controls feel a little too responsive that one is already making a 180 degree turn before anyone notices. I haven't fully worked on the locking system, so I can't really tell if I'm doing anything wrong or anything. There seems to be very little differences between Valkyrie, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes, though I presume you can't fire missiles while on Battroid mode like in the series, at least the one without the fastpacks equipped.

Anyway, given a choice between DYRL for the PS2 and this game, I'd easily go for the former.

Waaah oo nga noh pahiram noong DYRL sa July 28. I keep forgetting.

So is there a vast difference between the VO and the VOXP?

And let's all play Multiplayer sometime (when I do download this -_-)

Not much of a difference between the 2 versions, just get the VO version for the smaller size.

Oh yeah, I won't forget DYRL , but what's on July 28?
