Gundam Versus

Playing Gundam Versus is its own reward. While it may not be a great introduction to the series for those who read the names of mobile suits as gibberish, anyone with a fondness or curiosity for one of the most enduring sci-fi franchises of all time has more than enough toys to play with for a long time. The combat is a great blend of reverent, fast-paced, and precise, and while solo players may be disappointed in how unsatisfying the single-player is, those who’ve spent years building their own stories with action figures will find a lot to love.

Gundam Versus – if you are a fan of the series – is a winning package. The gameplay is great, the graphics are a nice blend of anime and realism, with a soundtrack that sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon for an action anime that is oddly fitting, and it’s still a great feeling to win a match, however, it just doesn’t have enough for the average player to get hooked.

Easily one of the better Gundam games to ever make it West, Gundam Versus is an incredibly rewarding arena-based mech-'em-up. A wide selection of gameplay modes ensure that there's always something to hold your attention, while the tense action itself offers depth, variety, and satisfaction.
