To begin, this game should be avoided by non-Gundam fans. I am a Gundam fan though, so I like it, not because of the gameplay, but because of the range of usable Gundams. ----------------------------------------------------------- I had an entire review written out, however, after rereading it, it was just the same thing repeated over and over again in different ways. So I read this review my friend did for the magazine Eurogamer, and it captured what I wanted to say and think perfectly. Here is a simple excerpt that puts it into a nice little nutshell for you: "Objectively this is a game that basically sucks. It's technically limited, characterised by treacle-slow, far-from-original gameplay that's beset by niggles, and sorely unadorned by fancy cut-scenes or easy-to-navigate menus. But subjectively, in spite of all of its flaws, what emerges is something that has the potential to be hypnotically absorbing and, yes, even fun." -Eurogamer Magazine. ---------------------------------------------------------- CONS: To begin, this game just has too many flaws. However, what some fail to realize is that this was one of the first PS3 games of its kind, and hadn't exactly mastered the insanely conflicting and complex rendering system of the PS3. One of the many flaws is the fact that there is no tutorial, so it ends up being a frustrating hour or so figuring it out. Afterwhich, it takes a little while to figure out what is actually going on. You get partnering Mobile Suits, but they would just as much run into a wall than fight beside you. PROS: The range of usable Gundams would make any Gundam fan's heart sing. Similiar to the usable amount in the Gundam Dynasty Warrior games, but in different play. The graphics are seemingly smooth and fairly amazing for the year this game came out on the PS3, as most that did in 2006 were still experimenting with the system's graphics. The interesting satisfaction of running around as a Gundam, slashing/blasting other giant robots and seeing them explode is something any Gundam fan will be proud of. FINAL: All in all, it's an average game whose flaws could be fixed if it had come out later, and whose pros just barely cut it. Like I said, this game is mostly for Gundam fans who enjoy Gundam and it's nostalgia. (Unless you see it at Gamestop or something for a dollar...then go for it.) -n88rRead full review
Like many review before me, I'm gonna say that its pretty bad. Not worth the price it was sold at launch but probably $20. It defies all logic on how often slow down occurs and a lot of the features in the game are pointless. For example, the game has a large roster of pilots from either side to recruit and fight along side, but the only difference between any two pilots is their name that is displayed in text and their statistics, the AI is just as stupid either way! Another useless feature is squad commands, other than the manual, there is no way to check watch each of the digital pad's buttons do. You could test them in battle, but the AI barely knows what its doing half the time so its pointless to test them out in battle. A final useless feature I want to mention is zooming in, sniping, because its completely useless on since the bullets move so slow and enemies with long range weapons will automatically lock on to anyone in sight and instant firing at you. The only positive thing I can honestly say is that its cool to have a large variety of mobile suits to play with and selecting their main weapon. This is probably only something a gundam fan wold enjoy, possibly giant robot fans too, but definitely not fun for everyone.Read full review
Mobile Suit Gundam Crossfire is a launch title for the PlayStation 3 when came on November 2006. Also this one follows the tradition of the past PSone and PStwo games that precedes it. Do not add the Dynasty Warriors versions. Those does not count for this review. Like its predecessors, Crossfire gets you into missions that follows the plot of the original and popular Gundam anime. The graphical details, from the robots to the damage taken, are incredibly amazing. The controller is another story. Feels unresponsive and the robots move much slower than on Journey to Jaburo from PS2. If you like Gundam games, but not Gundam Musou (the Japanese name to Dynasty Warriors Gundam), this one is a must. It will let you frustrated, but not unsatisfied. You will definitely enjoy this game.
Okay, I really love Gundam games since I played it on Playstation 2 and I wish I could play some more advanced, more beautiful and engaging Gundam game on PS3. I mean, that's the sole reason we are buying this monster and incredible console in the first place. At first, the game is pretty engaging and you can quite enjoy it, but the story mode ends prematurely and we are left with a shoot and slash game to re-complete. The gundams provided are also the old ones, without the new-advanced-famous models. I can't believe this. Last and the most saddening thing, the graphic quality. It is too mediocre I am going to be ashamed of my friends if I said that I play this game and admit it as a ps3 game. Even though you are a Gundam games fan, you won't miss a thing if you don't play this one. I will go as far as saying that it's better to get Dynasty Warrior: Gundams instead. It's kinda stupid in idea, but you will get a better enjoyment, YES, really...Read full review
I’m a huge fan of Gundam. I didn’t have a chance to play this at release, but even now in 2021, the game is really fun. If you’re not familiar with older Gundam games, you may not be too interested, the main campaign is based on the last few months of the One Year War. You have to select missions, choose your suit and equipment, and gear up ally units. Each mission you pass is one day, so the more missions you complete, time will pass until the end of the year, during missions you can receive damage or your pilot may become fatigued. Going into to battle repeatedly will become harder, so you may chose to skip a day to recover. Your choices and missions you take can affect the outcome of the war. You also can receive new suits as time pass, all the way up to the Gundam itself. You do need to perform well and rank up to get better suits. You also have a campaign on the Zeon side. Play enough you can use better suits and captured suits. Plenty of content to replay. There also is a versus mode, but it’s limited to 2 players. There are plenty of graphic issues and similar gameplay throughout the game, but I still consider it to be a strong game. Read full review
