Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Gundam mechs rocket into battle once again and
ricochet off the floors and the walls (if there were
walls) on dusty battlefields. The game
includes 70 types of mechs that are gradually
unlocked as missions are dominated by an agile and
capable player. The timeline of the game is the
oft-played run from UC0079 to UC0087 and all of the
major campaigns are visited including Jaburo and White
Base. Mobile suits may be tuned up and upgraded as a
handler successfully complete missions and ramps up
the credits. Battles
take place on terra firma, in outer space, on the
moon, and the Zeon space colonies.
Up to four players may link up wirelessly for
competitive fire fights. Then there are cooperative
battles where players defend bases from attackers
and team up to accomplish missions.
Early
preorders will ship with a bonus Gundam Battle
Royale Carabiner which doubles as a keychain or a
cellphone strap with the included red twisty strap.
Unfortunately we have given them all away as of this
morning.

Earth Federation Game Play
» On the side of the Earth Federation, the first
mission dubbed "Party on the Sand" (Level D) takes
place in the desert of Antofagasta where a Gundam
faces off against three Zakus. At the outset,
players may select a mech handler from 4 possible
choices and then three Gundam mechs as follows:
GM armed with Beam Spray Gun, Hyper Bazooka,
Head Vulcan, and Beam Sabre
GM[G] armed with 100mm MG, MS Launcher, Hand
Grenade, and Beam Sabre
Gundam[G] GM-H armed with 100mm MG, MS
Launcher, 180mm Cannon, Flare Bomb, and Beam Sabre
The objective in the first mission is to destroy three Zakus (one
MS-06F Zaku II[F] and two MS-05B Zaku I units).
Since it takes place on the desert and it's hot, the
background sand dunes may be seen wavering due to
the effects of the heat which causes visible
distortion.
» The second mission "Ransom for Victory" takes
place in Pata Canyon and is a container retrieval
mission where 7 boxes are lifted up and then brought
to an airship in waiting. As the box pickup is
commencing, Zakus appear to attack and provide
interference. To pick up a box, walk over it and
hold down on the R trigger. To drop it off, press
the SQUARE button at the ship. The time limit is
only 4 minutes to run around and complete the
mission. We recommend using the GM[G] since it's
more mobile and jumps higher than the other Gundams
which is useful when scaling the plateaus to reach
the containers.
» The third Earth Federation mission takes place in
the jungles of Jaburo (Level D) "On Large River"
which starts off with rain pelting downwards. The
Gundam has to wade in water to battle enemy Zaku who
appear. A partner Gundam also appears in the level
to provide backup support.
Republic of Zeon Game Play
» If playing on the side of the Zeon, the first
mission "The Precaution Net" takes place in the
Mojave Desert (Level D). Three Zakus are available
at the outset as follows:
Zaku I armed with ZK Machine Gun, ZK Bazooka,
Cracker and Heat Hawk
ACG armed with Laser Torch, Missile Pod, and
Drill
Zaku II[F] armed with ZK Machine Gun, ZK
Bazooka, Magella-Top Gun, Cracker, and Heat Hawk
The first mission is a simple attack mission where
the objective is to destroy one RGM-79 GM, two
RGM-79[G] GM[G], and five Type-61 MBT arms that are
stationary gunpods. The second Zeon mission takes
place in Quito Canyon (Level C) "Secret on the
wilderness" where 5 containers must be picked up and
dropped off at a waiting vessel for pickup by a Zeon
transport ship in exactly 4:36 minutes. Jump jet and
scramble around the landscape to pick up the boxes
and drop them under a tight schedule.
» When you fail a mission, the words "MISSION
FAILED" appear followed by "Disappointed in you."
» Before each mission, a communiqué from
headquarters appears on the upper right corner of
the screen where the portrait of a girl appears and
voice acting spells out the mission parameters. For
the Earth Federation, the gal is a redhead. For the
Zeon, the gal is a blue-head.
» After each mission, a prize or three is awarded
which unlocks something in the Gallery portion of
the UMD.
» Anyone
who enjoyed the original Gundam Battle game for the
PSP will be well pleased with this new release. The
new missions are varied enough to keep things
interesting and challenging. A Gallery Mode also
allows the viewing the robots and robot handlers
like the original release.
