Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
ACE 2 thrilled mech-handlers last year (March 30,
06) with fast-paced action featuring 180 robots from 15 popular animation
series including Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz, Martian
Successor Nadesico, SDF Macross, and more. Sales
were brisk and the sell-out was unavoidable.
Since Banpresto never released a "The Best" version of A.C.E.2,
they make up for the transgression by revamping the
original game with 10 vocals-infused animation theme
songs.
The battles are fast paced where a mech speeds on
battlefields and targets enemy ranks for
destruction. An auto-targeting feature (press
TRIANGLE) may be used to lock onto an enemy unit and
if you're close enough, a melee attack may be
performed to smash it. However, if it's a formidable
mech and not a peon, it will parry your blow and the
two swords will sizzle in a close-up struggle for
supremacy. Far away foes may be locked on and then
fired upon with an arsenal of projectile weapons.
There was one point during this morning's trial
where our play tester sped towards a group of
enemies and as they appeared in the horizon, he
selected the missiles and launched two of them at
the crowd. The projectiles weaved towards the
targets with vapor trails streaming as the player's
mech continued roaring towards the foes.

» In the intro to the game, green Zeon battle
cruisers are serenely waltzing towards Earth and
preparing for war. As they near the planet, hatches
open up and Zaku mechs launch from the bays and
rocket into battle against approaching Gundam
warriors. Soon, the sounds and chaos of clashes
wreck the peace as serenity turns into clanging
skirmishes in space. Later, a Wing Gundam Zero wafts
in the middle of a bunch of Gundam battleships and
spin-shoots, wreaking massive havoc.
Scene shift to a sequence involving two Macross
warriors who are flying acorss the skies and
battling against enemies with streams of
vapor-trailing missiles. The battle shifts back to
the Gundam and a lengthy sequence shows off exciting
Gundam action.
» Before each scenario, a voice over explains the
background story which is accompanied by an animated
sequence. Each introductory cinema is well done and
detailed which will please fans of the various Gundam series and Macross featured in the game.
» When you're fairly close (about 300m) to an enemy mech and locked-on, pressing the "O" attack button
sends your mech swooping in on the enemy for a
violent killing stroke. Since you'll be up close,
the camera catches the enemy mech being busted up
into component pieces as it is destroyed.
» Gundam games sell very well. We're finding that
A.C.E. and A.C.E. 2 are also commanding a good
amount of attention with both games attracting
interest.
