So Mark asked me to download the PS2 version of this game, and I did because I was curious. I liked Dynasty Warriors.
My opinion after playing the Japanese version for an hour and a half (reached stage 5) is that most gaming websites gave it too high a score. 5/10 is too high. The stages should be counted in hundred thousand brain cells dying. I was bored after 10 minutes, but continued to play hoping something interesting might happen.
The game is like this: you shoot the same 3 mechs again and again. Then an overpowered LuBu-ish officer unit will attack you, but it's easy to beat anyway. Repeat a thousand plus times over (because it's how you claim fields) and that's basically it.
Buying/playing this game will cost you a lot of wasted time that could have been used playing other well thought out games or doing something RL. It's also a waste of money, as it's exactly the same as samurai/dynasty warriors, but at least dynasty warriors has "empires" when you can use strategy a little bit more.
I'm pretty annoyed now about the fact that I even started playing the damn thing. Won't be touching it ever again. It's crap. I wouldn't play it even if it was free. As if the disaster that was SEED wasn't enough, Koei screws the Gundam franchise over twice.
