    A glorified mobile suit DLC pack with tacted on story mode that go too much into the trappings of your basic anime rather than the more grounded military war stories gundam is known for. Repetitive missions with the same gameplay youd get in battle operations 2 which isnt a bad fighting system but just play the orginal battle operations 2 against real players instead of the dumb AI theyA glorified mobile suit DLC pack with tacted on story mode that go too much into the trappings of your basic anime rather than the more grounded military war stories gundam is known for. Repetitive missions with the same gameplay youd get in battle operations 2 which isnt a bad fighting system but just play the orginal battle operations 2 against real players instead of the dumb AI they throw at you in the story mode. If you want a really good story driven gundam game play Zeonic front on the ps2. This had potential but like I said it feels like an overpirced DLC pack with a lack luster story mode. That said tho the characters are charming enough and the art and animations are great but there isnt much more to offer beyond that to make it a stand alone release with that price tag.… Expand

    The art / animation / story in this game is quite stunning. What holds this game back is that it is still GBO2 and the gameplay is so freaking clunky. Ive gotten stuck in missions because i didnt know where the enemies were, or didnt execute the actions exactly in the right order. I wish the gameplay was built on Extreme Vs Maxiboost On, instead of Battle operation 2

    Code Fairy feels like an unfinished product struggling with tons of big and small issues, and fails to fully satisfy even the die hard fans of the Gundam series.

    I enjoyed the single player and slower pace of Code Fairy. I was finally able to get a handle on the combat and movement system that Battle Operation uses. But really the true cherry here was the fantastic story of the Noisy Fairy Squadron, watching this team start off on shaky ground but ultimately coming together and meshing as all good teams do was just the feel-good story that I needed to see. Its one that really resonates with people, and the fact that it's so well done and is an all-female team is a nice chef’s kiss.

    Mobile Suit Gundam Battle Operation: Code Fairy is strictly for the fans. That isn’t to say people who are unfamiliar with the series won’t enjoy it. Indeed, with as few walking tank games out there as it is, anyone into this type of gameplay will probably enjoy things here. It’s just that being invested in the story of Gundam helps a lot, because much of the game is about taking in the story. Combat is clunky, but gets the job done, and the episodic format makes that fact easier to forgive.
