I waited so long for this game, and finally I could get it with discounted price, however, I'm a bit disappointed with some areas.
First of all, they forced you to start the game with 00Raiser, and after 2 missions you finally get to choose your preferred character from a limited selection........
Some of the characters are not available right from the start, so you may have to spend some times with the ones you don't like, until they show up as playable
They've removed the story theme in this one, unlike what they did in Gunmam Musou 2. Instead they created a random map system, in story/history mode, you get to play against the enemies according to the anime, but maps are just randomly chosen from maps you've already played before, so you don't get the feeling to relive those story events because the theme is not related to the story at all
However, they did make an online mode, which is better than none........ And there are still a few players are playing it, even this morning...... Probably for the 100 online mission trophy
The best part about this game is if you are a collective freak like most of the RPG (or Musou) players, you'll love this game. Because you'll spend hours trying to get all the MS or Character.
So other than repetitive button bashing, this game really isn't hard to earn an platinum trophy......
If you are a Gundam fan, you've got to try this, is different from Gundam Musou 2, if you are not a fan......... You would probably like to start with Armored Core series
One last comment, PSN NZ does not have the DLC contents yet, i'm not sure if it will be released in future, but you can probably get it from Australia PSN, since the zone and game codes are the same
