    If you like the cel shading technique, prepare to be literally blown away...TDK does a splendid job with the color schemes, and most of the little effects compliment the main graphics perfectly.

    The best fighter-combat title since "Rogue Leader." [Dec 2002, p.128]
  3. Even my friends, those who hate anime with a burning passion have found love in this cel-shaded action game. Definitely the best mech game in existence.

    Fans of the show should definitely pick this one up for your favorite system, not because it's another piece of memorabilia, but because it's a nice, controllable manifestation of a show you love.
  5. The idea of using the Veritech through a number of objective-based missions plays off very well in Robotech: Battlecry.
  6. Some might find the control a tad complicated and some missions overly difficult, but the action is very solid, overall.

    This review contains spoilers, click full review link to view. This is one of my favorite games that I played went I was abused. But I have enjoyed countless other games like rainbow six 3 or metal gears solid but robotech battlecry is one of those games the have a storyline of how their their technology might "fall into the wrong hands" but one of the features that I loved was the multiplayer function and if you complete the game before playing multiplayer you would be given a free level or something I don't remember but my point is that this is one of the 10,657 games I have played Full Review »

    I have to say it. I felt a little disappointed. The game is not bad, but I expected something better. The cinematics are just picturesI have to say it. I felt a little disappointed. The game is not bad, but I expected something better. The cinematics are just pictures (remember that this game is based on a anime), the graphics could be better, the voices sound a little unprofessional. And where is Rick Hunter???. In the other hand we have a nice design of mechas, a lot of missions, nice gameplay and a good replay value. Nice game but incomplete. Full Review »
