    The deep combat, unique character designs and intriguing plot offer something for both the strategy fan and the giant robot enthusiast.

    A few minor issues barely put a dent in this anime-inspired strategy role-playing game, which delivers a great story and dozens of interesting missions.

    If you like the turn-based strategy RPG genre (such as Fire Emblem), you're almost guaranteed to enjoy this game. Be prepared to do a lot of reading, a lot of thinking, and a lot of losing. With that mindset, you can really enjoy this entry in Banpresto's long line of mecha SRPGs.

    The game may actually be a little text heavy at times, and the early hours are a tad simplistic, but overall this was a pleasant surprise. [Aug 2006, p.93]

    Though it may not be deep in terms of strategy, the storyline and experience to be found in Super Robot Taisen is hard to beat.

Each path through the game is over 40 missions long, and while the last half of the game is the same no matter what path you take, it's still extremely entertaining. The level of customisation is great: everything from individual mechs, weapons, and even pilots can be customised. A great game! Look for Original Generation 2 coming out in November.… Full Review »
