If I live & work in Japan, I would be in line every single day for the arcade game Mobile Suit Gundam 機動戦士ガンダム - Senjou no Kizuna (戦場の絆). But unfortunately I am stuck in the US...so all I could do is drool over all the youtube video of people playing this great Gundam game.
But thankfully, PSP owners now have the opportunity to own & play the portable version of 機動戦士ガンダム (戦場の絆). In fact, I was the 1st one to arrive at the local import game store before they open for business, standing close to the front window placing both hands above my eyes to look inside the dark interior of the store, hoping to see the owner coming out to open its grand doors. Of course, I exaggerated a little.
In truth, I paid an arm & a leg for this game (About $70 USD). Only gundam stuffs can make me dish out such a hefty amount of doe. Anyhow, so I got the game. I loaded onto my PSP 3000 which is connected to my 24" LCD & 5.1 sound system. (SEE VIDEO ABOVE) And so far, I must say this game rocks!!! I love everything about it. It even have things that is only exclusive to the PSP version like:
- Able to play strategically as the base... giving orders to AI controlled MS, ordering bombardments, deploy minosky particles...etc.
- EX system, allowing player to manually customize their favorite MS. For instance, toggling between different armor & mobility options.
- COM pilots allow player to specify AI pilot to specific MS. So I can assign a mid range specialist to pilot a mid range MS...thus using it effectively in combat. The AI is pretty good in the game, and at the planning phase player can assign Team MS to sortie to cover specific location.
Great game indeed! And I love how constant grinding in single player unlocks various weapons, perks, game levels, & comm chat / commands.
Now I just need to wait until my friend bring me back a Xlink device, so that I can play mulitiplayer with people on the internet.

GG you say that now but that game isnt cheap. 5 bucks a pop. i got together with some friends and spent 50 bucks in a day once. awesome fun though. im hesitant to get the psp version because i started on the arcade one and still like it a lot. but it sounds like its a good game and might be worth trying.
ReplyDeleteDayum! 5 bucks a pop, thats quite the price. I wonder how the regular joes could afford to play this on a regular basis?
ReplyDeleteBut one day....one day my friend, I will go to Japan again and get a taste of this game.
