    Multiplayer is the same battles, only with ranks to contend with. There’s an arcade mode that you can finish in less than an hour, and the Maxiboost missions that will keep you busy for ages. When you’re not engaged in furious combat with a host of other Gundams, you can mess with the Gallery and just look at them. There’s even a list of short animations associated with some of the arcs! Overall it’s truly just battling. If this is something you’ve always wanted out of a Gundam game, you’re in for a treat. But I can’t emphasize enough how pared down this experience is. But if fighting is what you want, then Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS Maxiboost ON is exactly what you need.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Maxiboost On is the best Gundam arcade fighter on PlayStation 4 but as entertaining as it is it's still a 4 years old game with lackluster visuals and very few people playing online.

    Gundam Extreme Vs. Maxi Boost On brings the venerable arcade series to PlayStation 4 with a huge roster mobile suits, an expanded single-player component, and plenty of cosmetic unlockables. It feels like an odd anachronism in this day and age, but its strengths as a multiplayer game are real, even if it suffers a bit from its poor camera. If you like Gundam even a little bit, you owe it to yourself to at least give this game a shot.

    Sometimes bigger is not better. With over 180 different mechs, this game should be a dream for Mobile Suit's lovers, but its dull single player and widely perfectible multiplayer, keep it just above the average.

    Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. MaxiBoost ON is a difficult game to recommend. As a fighting game, it isn't bad; on the contrary, it is impressive that, with such a high number of characters, it manages to be a balanced game. The problem is, it doesn't have much more than that to offer, even for Gundam fans.

    Extreme Vs isn't going to make a Gundam fan out of anyone that isn't already one, but there's a lot to love for any existing fans. The core fighting mechanics are solid, although it's disappointing there isn't more variation in terms of match types. Even still the incredible roster makes up for any shortcomings the game might have, and it's plenty of fun to spend hours trying out scores of different suits with ridiculous flashy attacks.

    Easy to learn but hard to master, this is a perfect game for Gundam and Arena Fighter fans alike. The only downside is the lack of game modes, but the variety of Mobile Suits to choose from as well as the customization options make up for this fact. It's not a game that thrives on depth, but it more than makes up for it through its breadth.

    All in all, I'd recommend this game for any Gundam fan and for any Arena Fighter fan, and if you're a fan of both, then this is an absolute must buy.    … Full Review »

The other ones behind this one don't seem as fluid-like towards Maxiboost. Feel like when it comes to the balancing part and actually caring for a game that people enjoy. It definitely shows! Again. Like some people mentioned. There is a steep learning curve and I had to reteach myself since it's been quite a while, but once you get the hang of it. Just a matter of looking for a Gundam that suits you best and you're well on your way! One thing that I have to give the rating a 9 and not a solid 10. There's no tutorial mode in this game! Why?! Don't know, but the best way to get some work in. Do free battles, or work on some single-player battles. Understand the button layout and your Gundam you want to stick with. Other than that! Enjoy the game, guys! See you on the battlefield!… Full Review »
