    One of the best jRPGs out now. It breaks every rule, goes back to the roots of the genre, and incorporates battle and customization systems that far exceed anything else the genre’s thrown to gamers so far.

    MS Saga: A New Dawn is a sharp RPG that introduces the Mobile Suit franchise into the genre with style.

    As an old school playing, level grinding, strategy-requiring rpg, Gundam True Odyssey may scare off those looking for an easy ride. Make no doubt about it, TO is a very challenging game. [JPN Import]

    MS Saga: A New Dawn can be completely compelling once you let it sink its hooks into you, promising at least a good 40 hours of gameplay and some cool replay bonuses.

    This is a game that will definitely appeal to those players who are already fans of the source material, or who simply enjoy playing with giant robots, as these players will be more likely to overlook the game's shortcomings and appreciate its potential.

    Fan or not, you also won't think this is the typical shoddy Gundam game. [Mar 2006, p.106]

    MS Saga: A New Dawn, while graphically sound isn't on par with the likes of Grandia 3, Dragon Quest VIII, or the forthcoming Final Fantasy XII. [Mar 2006, p.43]

Major fun, even if you aren't a fan of the Gundam franchise. Prepare to skip a few meals, tell your girlfriend you're at work, and "Press any button to begin"… Full Review »
