by skyth Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jun 01 '00
Pros: graphics; missions
Cons: the AI of a headless chicken; horrid controls
Urbanfetch.com had a new game in its store. It listed it with some description that resembled a strategy, based on giant bots. My hands were already itching with temptation. I sure was anxious to check out a strategy game for the Dreamcast. Upon starting...

Pros: Sniper scope, four mobile suits, many weapons, beam saber combat, issue commands.
Cons: No multiplayer, too short, no Gundams.
Gundam fans have always been let down. There has never been any good Gundam games, or any Gundam games for that matter. But not only is this game good, it takes full advantage of the potential of the Sega Dreamcast.

Gundam-The game of greatness

by stewartlittle , Jun 09 '00
Pros: Visuals,Sound,
Cons: Storyline-Not Gundam Wing
This game is great and has many pros. This game has great visuals, sound, and the best before battle interface. This game is probably the best mech fighter ever. The only thing is that they should have had Heero Yui and the other Gundams.

A mediocre tribute to a fabulous anime

by TerraSMZ , Oct 14 '00
Pros: Graphics, explosions...has to do with anime!
Cons: everything else (controls specifically!)
When I saw "Gundam" on a Dreamcast CD I was immediantly overcome with temptation to buy it. I am obsessed with anime. Gundam is an anime, therefore, I had to have that game! I kept waiting and waiting to buy it, thinking something better would...

Think Fast

by DRWMG3 , Aug 28 '00
Pros: great story line, sharp graphics, and intense game-play
Cons: too short(only 9 levels long), the controls take a bit of work to learn for a unexperienced gamer
OK, everyone out there, this is one more game in the line of Gundam games out in the market over time. Although if you think this game is like the TV show that is on TV now, you are wrong. This game takes place on earth in Australia. You are in...
