Reprising the
mecha tactics action and planning found in the original Dreamcast version of Sunrise
Eiyuutan, a famous stable of anime characters and their robotic charges make an appearance
on the Playstation. The Gundam warriors play a strong hand
in this game.
The
missions are relatively simple to get into, kanji notwithstanding. You'll travel through a
town, meet characters, and get your objectives. Occasionally, some of the characters that
you meet will join up with your party to help in your deeds. The ability to purchase new
equipment and upgrade your mecha forces also play an important factor in preparing for
eventual battle.
The tactics portion of the game emphasizes
both defense and attack measures. Success in this game relies on defending your mechs from
strong attacks that occasionally pepper your forces. Overall,
fans of Gundam will enjoy this tactics game, even if only to see their favorite mechs in
PS2 glory. |
