| The
Gundam universe captures the imagination with the best of them.
Powerful battle suits driven by puny humans blow out all odds when
newtype handlers man the helms. The latest Gundam excursion takes
the tactical route to inspire players in strategically hinged
battles which span outer space down to the dirt of Earth. Take
command of a razor sharp cadre of mobile suits and battle cruisers
in your strikes against opposing forces and teams. Unit formations
play an important part during encounters and careful spacing of
cruisers and mobile suits can repulse larger forces or at least keep
them at bay. A galactic map grid outlines movement options and an
active battle sequence shows off thrilling action cinemas once
you've chosen to attack an adversary. During battles, Gundam
warriors go raging across the ether, jets blazing, sabers rattling,
and guns blasting, while a zooming camera tries in vain to keep up
with the action. These fire fights are completely non-interactive
and you are merely an icon-clicker; i.e, you choose an action from a
row of choices and watch your mobile suit act out your whim. The
beauty of Gundam Battle Online is found in the net capability where
up to four players can join in tactical campaigns online although
off-line games are involving as well. |
