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.
