    Giant robots are great, but basing them on the Gundam license with Capcom developing makes them greater, if that's even. [Feb 2003, p.92]

    Finally, a well-balanced, fun Mobile Suit Gundam game that not only looks and sounds great, but also stays true to the illustrious anime series.

    This game will have you wishing that it would never end and with 200 missions and a multi-player mode you will think you've died and gone to heaven.

    The best part of Zeon is its massive 100-plus mission tree that puts you on the frontlines as a grunt on either side of the war. [Nov 2002, p.283]

    Certainly the best Gundam title for the PS2 so far. [Oct 2002, p.84]

    Depending on what you're looking for, Mobile Suit Gundam: Federation vs. Zeon will have extraordinary replay value and worth for some. For others, getting through the game will be a trial of patience and endurance.

    Arcade gameplay instead of simulation (Mechwarrior series on pc is a much better Mecha game for example), long and slow fights, high difficulty, stiff controls.
    A product that play the nostalgia card but fails to deliver a solid videogame.
    if you want some old school gundams try one of the many Super Robot Taisen videogames instead...less graphic but much better gameplay

There are so many missions and a whole crap load of mobile suits. It is challenging yet fun. The only hard levels are when you need to battle Amuro in his Gundam or Char in his Zaku, Gelgoog, or Z'Gok. The controls are top notch and easy to use. My favorite mobile suit would probably be..... the Gundam. Its cool how you can play as either the Federation or Zeon. I also like the arcade mode, which is a shortened version of the the One Year War. This is a must buy for anyone who likes gundam or great shooter games. Full Review »
