    Fans of the animated series will definitely be delighted to experience the One Year War from the side of the Principality of Zeon.
  2. XenGamers

    Uniquely strategic gameplay, pulse-pounding action, and even a bit of stealth.

    If you are a fan of the series, I'd bet you'd go ape for this game. [Feb 2002, p.85]

  5. Game Revolution

    Very complex and very difficult both in gameplay and storyline. It's definitely a game you shouldn't play at four in the morning after a half case of Corona. But if you're up to a good challenge, you might want to give it a try.
  6. Gaming Age
    75
    The mix of strategy and action blends well, and the controls do the Zeon justice.
  7. Gamezilla!
    70
    A drastically improved game from their last effort, but still falls short of appealing to a wide audience range.
  8. GameSpot
    68
    The strategic elements of the squad-based combat mix well with the explosive action, and enough of the back story is relayed in the mission debriefings that having watched the original series isn't a prerequisite.
  9. IGN
    65
    In between the undeniable satisfaction of a plan coming together, there's also the goofed-up navigation system, the scattershot AI performance on both sides of the firing line, and the generally clumsy and slow pace of combat.
  10. Electronic Gaming Monthly

    Although ZF does a great job of sucking you into a world of squad-based heavy metal warfare, I can’t recommend it to anyone but hardcore Gundam fans. [Feb 2002, p.154]

    Simply superior than that previous effort in just about every way imaginable. [Mar 2002, p.108]

    While the concept is cool (though not original) as always Bandai's lack of effort in creating a comfortable control environment leaves the game hanging.
  13. PSX Nation

    Zeonic Front didn't rock my world in the least, but it will undoubtly rock the world of any self-respecting Gundam fanatic willing to tolerate its truckload of flaws.
